One evening in 2012, a woman was packing all the household items in her house in Switzerland. She is telling her son to hurry up, otherwise he will miss the flight. On one hand, he is happy to return to his country and his soil, while on the other hand, he is filled with anger. She regrets the one thing that she left behind because of her husband, 'saying goodbye to the Bollywood film industry'. But they say, better late than never.
The woman returns to India with her son. Age is 40 plus. Thia searches for a place to live in Mumbai and starts preparing for a comeback in the film industry. One day she calls a media channel and demands an interview. She reveals the secrets of her personal life and comeback in the interview. She decides to write the book of her life herself.
Yes, today we are talking about the actress who got married at the age of 19. She went abroad immediately after marriage. The husband had banned her from working in the industry. This is none other than Sonam. People also know her by the name of Sonam Khan. But his real name is ‘Bakhtawar Khan’. Let us remind you, Sonam had crossed the limits of boldness in 'Tridev' and 'Vijay'. She surprised the audience by giving a kissing scene in her very first film. She was said to be the only actress who gave such scenes in the 90s. And Sonam was only 16-17 years old at that time.
Sonam was not comfortable with kissing and nude scenes
Sonam was 16 years old when she did the film 'Vijay'. Sonam was seen opposite Rishi Kapoor in this. A kissing scene was filmed between the two, before doing which Sonam created a lot of panic. Rishi Kapoor was twice the age of Sonam. Sonam had told in an interview that doing a kissing scene with Rishi, that too in her debut film, was a very uncomfortable situation for her. Since many people were present at the shooting, she did not like doing this kissing scene in front of everyone.
For the film 'Mitti Aur Sona', it is said that Sonam had given nude scenes in this film. People used to go to theaters to watch their scenes and as soon as the scene ended, the theaters used to become empty immediately. But giving nude scenes was not at all easy for Sonam. In an interview, Sonam had told that when I came to know that I had to give a nude scene in the film, I cried bitterly after knowing this. My aunt was called to the set. He explained to me and gave me chocolate and I agreed to do the nude scene in the greed of that chocolate. But still Sonam was feeling very uncomfortable while shooting the scene. The direction of the film was handled by Pahlaj Nihalani.
How did your career start? = Sonam, who had a playful mind, beautiful eyes, thick hair, a smile on her face and a cute face cut, was known as a cool girl. Sonam started working at the age of 13 and a half. The financial conditions of his house were not good. Sonam was forced to work. One afternoon, Sonam asked her aunt Zeenat Aman to get her any small work done. She will work hard to earn money and run the household. Something like this also happened. Zeenat got him some modeling projects. Oh yes, we forgot to tell you, Sonam is the niece (distant relative) of Raza Murad and Zeenat Aman. Now let's come back to Sonam's career. Sonam had started earning money. She was so addicted to acting that she wanted to step into films as soon as possible. Whatever was thought, came true. Mother Talat Khan was so busy with household chores that she did not care about many things. One day, Sonam's friend came to her father Musheer Khan. He advised him that Firoz Khan was making a film and was looking for a heroine for it. If you want, I can talk to Sonam Bitiya, but she will have to audition for the film. Sonam went for the audition of the film and also got selected. But the film that Firoz Khan was making was shelved. Could not be made till date.
Sonam felt disappointed. But they say that one should never accept defeat in life. So Sonam also did something similar. Because Musheer Khan's friend was well-known in the Bollywood industry. In such a situation, he approached Rishi Kapoor. Rishi reached Yash with the same audition clip of Sonam which the actress had given for Firoz Khan's film. At that time Yash Chopra was making his film ‘Vijay’. This was a multi-starrer film. In this, Hema Malini, Meenakshi Sheshadri and Sonam were cast in lead roles.
The year 1989 was a great year for Sonam. Her film was 'Tridev', in which the actress was seen in the lead role with Naseeruddin Shah. The song ‘Tirchi Topi Wale’ from the film was a big hit. People were seen dancing to the tune of this song in every house. Sonam and Rajeev Rai's love story became popular with the film becoming a hit. In the 90s, ‘Trimurti Films’ production house was a big banner of the Bollywood industry. Its owner was Rajeev Rai. The film ‘Tridev’ was also directed by Rajiv.
