Soundous
Moufakir,
actor
and
reality-show
star
known
for
her
strong
on-screen
presence
and
evolving
journey
in
Indian
cinema,
recently
reflected
on
her
experiences
working
with
Sonu
Sood
and
the
guidance
he
offered
her
during
the
filming
of
Fateh.
Speaking
about
her
collaboration
with
the
actor
and
philanthropist
Soundous
says,
“The
first
time
I
collaborated
with
Sonu
Sood
was
years
ago,
during
Roadies,
when
he
was
the
host,
we
didn’t
interact
much
on
the
show
because
I
couldn’t
speak
Hindi
at
the
time.”
It
wasn’t
until
the
filming
of
Fateh
that
the
two
truly
connected.
“During
Fateh,
we
really
bonded.
I
remember
him
telling
me
how
important
it
was
for
me
to
work
on
my
Hindi
and
continue
sharpening
my
acting
craft,
and
that
once
I
did,
he
would
help
me
with
auditions,”
she
said.
What
made
the
experience
especially
meaningful
for
Soundous
was
Sonu
Sood’s
openness
about
his
own
journey
in
the
industry.
“He
shared
how
he
was
an
outsider
too
and
how
nothing
came
easily
for
him.
He
spoke
about
the
obstacles
he
faced
while
navigating
his
way
into
films,”
she
recalled.
His
words
of
reassurance
left
a
lasting
impact.
“He
told
me
that
whatever
is
truly
meant
for
you
will
find
its
way
to
you,
and
that
my
time
would
come-that
I
would
shine
when
the
moment
was
right,”
Soundous
added.
“He
encouraged
me
to
focus
on
choosing
quality
work,
strong
scripts,
and
the
right
people.”
Reflecting
on
that
phase
today,
Soundous
describes
Sonu
Sood
as
a
source
of
quiet
motivation.
“He
was
incredibly
encouraging
and
reminded
me
that
I
am
smart,
hardworking,
and
talented,”
she
said,
noting
that
his
faith
in
her
journey
continues
to
inspire
her
as
she
moves
forward
in
her
career.
On
the
work
front,
the
actress
will
next
be
seen
in
two
upcoming
movies,
one
of
which
is
supported
by
one
of
Bollywood’s
top
production
companies.
Her
career
has
advanced
significantly
as
a
result
of
these
roles,
which
show
her
as
a
full-fledged
film
actress
and
place
her
in
significant
cinematic
narratives
rather
than
brief
cameos.
In
addition
to
movies,
Soundous
has
made
a
significant
impact
in
the
fashion
industry.
Born
on
15th
February
1998,
her
Moroccan
ancestry
has
influenced
her
modern
style,
which
has
drawn
the
interest
of
stylists
and
designers
and
further
solidified
her
reputation
as
a
complex
public
figure.
Her
involvement
in
a
number
of
well-known
reality
shows
has
also
been
crucial
in
enhancing
her
relationship
with
viewers.
