Personal life

According to them, the first encounter consisted of detailed conversation, but no one had the idea that they would get married later. Sonia left showbiz two months before her marriage, but the reason was not Tariq Mir. There were some other reasons. Social values were crumbling. Sometimes, the area Superintendent of Police would visit her home. Sometimes, some factory-owner would tour her residence.

Career

Her family did not belong to showbiz. One of her cousins, Hina Khan, married the actor, Rangeela. That led Sonia to enter showbiz. She was 7 that time. She and Rangeela were neighbours. After marriage, two houses merged into one, where film shootings were common. Renowned artists, directors, and producers would visit her home. During the late 1970s, whenever child actors were required for any movie scene, Rangeela would take her to shoot along with other children.

During the late 1970s, she marked her entry as a child star; in the 1980s, she signed 12 films during her first-ever film shooting. During her career spanning over the period of 10-12-year (1982 -1993), Sonia worked in 70 Urdu and Punjabi films. She also worked as an actress and model in various serials and long-plays of PTV Lahore and Quetta Centres, TV commercials, and theatre.

She left Lollywood at the peak of her career to marry Tariq Mir – and later relocated to Norway; where she established a welfare organization along with her participation in domestic tasks. She also tried her luck in dress and jewelry designing. She has also authored a book, Aadhi Sadi Mein Kitni Sadiyaan.
