Soni Razdan is having a wonderful second innings within the movie business. In the previous couple of years, the 65-year-old has featured in a number of movies and collection together with Raazi, No Fathers in Kashmir and The Verdict, amongst others. However, when she appears to be like again at her profession, she has one remorse. The actor was supplied Gadar Ek Prem Katha, a Anil Sharma directorial, which she had turned down. The movie, starring Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Amrish Puri, had launched in 2001 and went onto turn out to be a cult basic.
In an interview with indianexpress.com, Razdan recalled that second of her life and expressed her remorse, “The one project I got offered was Gadar and I said no to it at that moment. Not for any other reason but because I was producing my own show for Star Plus called Aur Phir Ek Din. I was dealing with date issues of actors. I was a producer and I could not deal with having to go away to Lucknow to shoot. I had to go to Lucknow to shoot this wonderful project, which I said no to like a fool.”
She added, “I’m so upset that I said no to it because I really wanted to be a part of it. And I think Anil Sharma never forgave me after that. He was like ‘How can you say no?’ But I said, ‘You don’t realise what I’m going through. I’m going through a worst nightmare’ because I remember I was trying to juggle Kiran Kumar dates with XYZ dates with my dates. I couldn’t deal. So, I said no to it.” Taking a sigh, Soni ended her assertion by saying, “I really regret it and will regret for the rest of my life.”
However, speaking about her different initiatives, Soni mentioned no matter work she has achieved up to now have been particular to her. “I always picked projects because I needed to do it or wanted to do it, or was excited to do it. There’s always been a reason. Every project has taught me something.”
As the dialog proceeded, we began speaking to Soni about social media and trolls. We questioned her if she has felt that over time, Bollywood has turn out to be a simple goal.
“Of course,” the Buniyaad actor mentioned, including, “But I don’t think they’ve ever not been. I think anybody who’s in the limelight is always going to be an easy target because that person is very much there. Whether it’s a sports person or an actor, it comes with the territory. You have to accept that and move on.”
On the work entrance, Soni is presently having fun with constructive opinions for her newest collection Call My Agent: Bollywood through which she performs a star supervisor/agent. In the primary episode of the Netflix collection, Rajat Kapoor’s character is heard saying – “Bollywood is finished”- in a dialog along with his co-star. When we requested Soni if she agrees or disagrees with the assertion, the Raazi actor mentioned, “Bollywood is far from finished.”
“I’m a very positive person. Of course, there are issues because we have been hit hard during the global pandemic. However, beyond that I don’t think there is any chance that Bollywood will be finished. Never ever. We are always going to want entertainment. We love our stars, their songs and films. We love movies. I think we’re all missing movie songs so much, at least, I am. So, in my humble opinion, Bollywood is very far from finished,” she answered.
As the dialog was nearing the conclusion, we quizzed Soni that if she was an agent to her daughter Alia Bhatt, how totally different the actor’s profession would have been? “I think I would be a terrible agent of Alia who would have messed it up for her completely. Thank god, I am not her agent. She is really lucky. She got completely saved,” Soni crackled and signed off.
