From the 70s to the 90s, many actresses entered Bollywood. These beauties made their place in the industry with a different identity. However, only a few actresses were able to establish their place. Many actresses set new dimensions, while some disappeared. Many beauties in this era became stars with a few films and then suddenly left the industry and disappeared. These beauties ruined their careers themselves. Today we will talk about an actress who started her journey with a beauty contest and became famous in Bollywood. However, after spending some time in the industry, she disappeared. People were surprised where she went. She gave a tough competition to superstar Rekha with her glamorous avatar and strong acting.

Became a heroine after winning a beauty pageant

The actress we are talking about is Sonu Walia. Sonu emerged as one of the most beautiful actresses of her time. Born as Sanjit Kaur Walia, Sonu was counted among the top actresses of that era. However, she appeared in side roles in most films. She won the Femina Miss India title in 1985. Sonu worked in many great films.

She appeared in ‘Khoon Bhari Maang’ with Rekha and Kabir Bedi. Her intimate scene in this film brought her into the limelight. Apart from this, she also worked in Shah Rukh Khan and Divya Bharti’s film ‘Dil Aashna Hai’.

Did not get to work because of…

In her career, Sonu worked with many big names, but did you know that many Bollywood stars did not want to work with her, and the reason for this was her height. Her career flopped due to her height. In one of her interviews, Sonu had said that she is taller than other actresses and actors, and that is why she got fewer opportunities in films.

In that era, many short actors were playing lead roles, who did not want to work with her. This was a big reason why her career flopped. Although she did not blame it as the only reason, she said that this has become a reason in the industry that she was not getting good scripts.

Husband died, now this is her condition

Over the years, Sonu Walia worked hard to get some good roles. However, she did not get any roles and later started working in B-grade films. After a lot of struggle, Sonu Walia decided to get married and settle down. She married Surya Pratap Singh, an NRI living in the US. He passed away in 2009. Currently, Sonu is associated with a production house. She has completely distanced herself from acting.
