I Really Don’t Know How Having A Famous Boyfriend Can Help – Sonal Chauhan



Sonal Chauhan

Five years after her Bollywood debut Jannat and two years after a brief appearance in Bbuddah…Hoga Terra Baap, Sonal Chauhan is making a comeback of sorts as a leading lady in psychological horror thriller 3G. Battling intermittent link up stories as well as the waiting period that she had to suffer before bagging a new film, Sonal is back in news. While she was working on 3G, there was this entire episode six months ago where she and Neil Nitin Mukesh were linked up. One wonders what really happened?
“Thank goodness that at least someone is giving me that respect by asking me what really happened”, sighs Sonal, “See, sometimes silence is taken very differently and then after a while, people start looking at it at face value and assuming that it is all true. At my part I did clarify things for a while. It was unfortunate that such speculations started making rounds. People do get misquoted. (Pauses) In this industry, there is always an attempt to link up two good looking people.”
However, since she doesn’t have a famous boyfriend or a Godfather, does she feel that the very survival proves to be a challenge in itself?
“I really don’t know how having a famous boyfriend can help”, says Sonal, “If you are not good enough or talented then no matter who is your boyfriend or Godfather, you won’t be able to step up the ladder. I have never understood this concept. If a director or a producer takes a liking for you, why would he still want to invest crores and make a film for you? I would still say that no director would compromise a movie for a random person; it is the talent that eventually comes through. If you have the right people around you, it always works.”
Guess she is finally finding some right people around her, what with Eros and Viki Rajani trusting her to deliver goods. With rumours already floating around the production company having signed Sonal for her next, the pretty girl is indeed moving on a new phase of her career.

Sonal Chauhan fined by Mumbai Customs
Sonal Chauhan is the latest actress to have come under the scanner of the Mumbai Customs. The Jannat babe, who was returning from Macau after attending an awards function, tried to pass through the green channel but was stopped for questioning by the Mumbai Customs.

Sonal was intercepted for carrying high-end branded bags and not declaring her purchases. The actress had picked up the bags from Hong Kong international airport and thought she could get away without having to pay any duty. However, that was not to be and finally Sonal had to end up paying Rs.85,000 as a fine for evading duty after which she was allowed to go.

Sonal Chauhan to debut as singer



Sonal Chauhan to debut as singer

The gentle 'Jannat' beauty is soon going to show her another side of talent.
In her forthcoming psychological thriller '3-G', Sonal Chauhan is said to be debuting as a singer courtesy the co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh.

In fact, buzz is that Neil has turned composer for this film by churning out eight tunes! The actor already debuted as singer in 'Aa Dekhen Zara' and with '3-G', he seemed to have pushed himself to prove his musical personality

Sources have it that it was Neil who encouraged Sonal to render her voice for one of the song in '3-G', after he heard her singing. Pretty much impressed with her hidden singing talent, Neil even said to have a song ready that will suitable for her voice.

Hmmm, such a helpful co-star, we say.

Neil Nitin Mukesh and Sonal Chauhan are inseparable in Fiji



Neil Nitin Mukesh and Sonal Chauhan




Neil Nitin Mukesh and Sonal Chauhan's romance seems to be in full bloom in Fiji where the duo is currently shooting for a psychological thriller titled 3G.

As it is a long outdoor schedule, the two have been living it up. Unit sources state that the couple is inseparable. They may be facing the camera together but after pack up, both don't leave each other's side even for a nanosecond.

A unit source reveals, "The chemistry between the duo is evident. They are not trying to hide anything and the comfort level they share is very obvious. Sonal in fact has even put a picture on her messenger of them holding hands leaving very little to the imagination."

Adds the source, "They are making no efforts to keep their relationship under wraps. It as if they want everyone to know they are in love. On the sets they have been shooting for some tough and draining scenes and both have been lending tremendous support to each other while shooting."

Buzz about them being a pair began in February when they were spotted together in Mumbai and later when they signed a film together.

Sonal and Neil, however, still prefer to be tight lipped about talking about their relationship.

Neil Nitin Mukesh is dating Sonal Chauhan?



Neil Nitin Mukesh is dating Sonal Chauhan
It seems Neil Nitin Mukesh has found love again. The actor who turned 30 last month had claimed that he is ready to fall in love after two failed relationships and it looks like his wish has come true. The lady in question is Sonal Chauhan. They recently put up pictures of them partying happily at his home. We hear that he had invited all of his long-time friends and Sonal was the only one who didn’t fit into that category. Then there is Neil’s tweet in which he admits that he escorted Sonal to the sangeet ceremony of Dheeraj Deshmukh and Honey Bhagnani. That’s enough to break your hearts, isn’t it? Yet, we do wish that Neil has really found true love. He had broken up with his long-time girlfriend Priyanka Bhatia in 2010, a few months after he revealed they were going to get married. He was rumoured to be seeing his Shortcut Romeo co-star Puja Gupta for a while but apparently that has was not true. Neil admitted to a daily that he had been seeing someone till last year, but that ended in heartbreak when his girlfriend walked out on him. Puja had only good things to tweet about Neil even last week so we guess he was not referring to her. Having gone through such pain, we hope Neil has found happiness at last. A close friend of Neil chose to underplay it saying, "It would be premature to say Neil is dating Sonal Chauhan. After what he has gone through, it would require Herculean willpower to commit to another relationship. But yes, their bonding is definitely growing. And they're definitely in a space where love is present. But Neil won't rush into a commitment so fast. The last relationship has broken his faith."

Sonal Chauhan Interview



 Sonal Chauhan's Interview

Sonal Chauhan Interview


Question. Please tell us about you…
Answer. I am basically from Agra but I was brought u in Delhi. Even my schooling was in Delhi. At present I am doing my graduation in Philosophy from Delhi University.
After winning the title of Miss World Tourism in 2005, I came to Mumbai. Reaching Mumbai I started modeling for brands like Nokia, Airtel and Diet Pepsi. At the same time I was chosen as the brand ambassador for Ponds.
My father is a police officer in UP and my mother is a homemaker.

Question. There are many faces that join the modeling industry but very few of them make their identity in this field. Where do you see yourself?
Answer. It’s tough for me to tell you anything about that as because this is my first film. I’ll try on making my own space in this industry. I am even ready to give extra time for getting my desired position in this industry.

Question.  How did your family react to your decision of joining film industry?
Answer.  They were really against me on my decision of joining modeling as because I am the only girl from my family to join it. Modeling and acting were very same to them.

Everybody is well aware of the gloomy side of this glamorous industry. They wanted me to be doctor or engineer. They thought that I am too immature to take such a decision. But when they saw that I can handle myself in this industry, they started supporting me.

Question. Are you dreaming of joining glamour industry since your childhood?
A. Truly speaking, I never cherished such a dream but whenever I came to see any image of model in any magazine, I felt attracted to them. And I knew that despite having a wish, I could not do that.

I always believe that there is a power that helps me deciding on every matter.

Question.  You are from the world of modeling. Do you believe that reservation is required to switch in your career from modeling to acting?
Answer. My family also believed in the same theory. They also thought that for me it’s going to be very tough to become actress as I had none in the industry. That’s the reason they defied my decision.

I have never done anything against my family and neither will I do anything like that. I convinced them a lot and then came with my mother to take part in the Miss India contest.

Question.  When your family was so against your modeling career then how come you took part in it?
Answer. I used to take part in few modeling assignments during my college days. My mother had no problem with that since she was okay with me enjoying my vacations.

Only my sister knew about my wish to become a model and she sent my photograph to the Miss India contest. It’s only after receiving a phone call from them that I realized the matter. But to attend the contest I had to work very hard in convincing my family.

Question.  Do you have boyfriend?
Answer. Fortunately I am still single. To be very frank, I see a lot of engaged people around me and I know very well about the tough sides of those relationships. Keeping that suffering in mind, I think, better I stay alone.

Question.  Do you believe in love at first sight?
Answer. Not at all. You may just start feeling attracted to someone with your first sight but falling for someone is absolutely impossible.

Question.  Who was your first crush?
Answer. In my childhood, when I was in my second standard, I liked a boy. After growing up a bit I felt really affected with Shah Rukh Khan. I still feel that Shah Rukh is the most intelligent and charming man in this country.

Question. Have you ever gone through any training for acting?
Answer. Not till now but I will surely do that if required. I was learning Kathak for a few days but had to leave it as to start shooting for Jannat.

Question. Which does mean most to you – big banner or character?
Answer. Character, of course.

Question.  The type of films you would love to do…
Answer. I just have started my career in films and it’s quite tough for me to decide on that. But one thing is for sure that I don’t want to appear on screen as just a glamour doll. I would love be part of arties provided, someone allows me a chance. -

Sonal Chauhan1: Hot newbie on a roll



Sonal Chauhan
Model Sonal Chauhan's acting career has kick-started in a big way.

Sonal Chauhan seems to have become the blue-eyed girl of the Bhatts. First, she was considered a suitable replacement to Bipasha Basu in the sequel of Raaz . Now, Sonal has bagged another film from the Bhatt camp.

It is no secret that Mahesh Bhatt wasdisappointed when he couldn't get Bipasha for 'Raaz 2'. Without ruminating over the loss, Bhatt went ahead and roped in Sonal, who is making a transition from ramps to tinsel town.

And when Esha Deol expressed her inability to act in Bhatt's movie Jannat , he offered that role, too, to Sonal.

Needless to say the newbie readily accepted the offer.

Why such favoritism towards Sonal?

Bhatt says Sonal is a talented, mature and she verily deserves what she has been offered. There is no favoritism towards her.

It may be mentioned that Bhatt's banner Vishesh Films has introduced several newcomers like Bipasha Basu , Mallika Sherawat , Emraan Hashmi and Kangana Ranaut who have gone on to make a mark for themselves in Bollywood.

Will Sonal follow the same path, remains to be seen.

Meet tinsel town's new hottie



Sonal Chauhan
Gorgeous model Sonal Chauhan is set to make a transition from ramp to reel.

Sonal has been part of several beauty pageants. She reached the finals of the Miss India pageant two years back and she won the title of Miss World Tourism in 2005 in Malaysia. Since then she has done several commercials, the most prominent of which was her Lays ad with actor Saif Ali Khan .


Sonal has always expressed her wish to enter filmdom but she never got a suitable offer. Now, she has got one.

She is being considered for Mukesh Bhatt's sequel of hit movie Raaz .

Although Sonal still has to sign on the dotted line, sources say there is a strong chance that she will bag the part.

Mukesh Bhatt admits that Sonal is being considered for the project, but refuses to divulge any more details.

Meanwhile, Sonal has big Bollywood dreams. She wishes to work in romantic movies. Karan Johar is among her favourite directors. And Shah Rukh Khan is her favourite star.

Sonal Chauhan - from ramps to Jannat



Sonal Chauhan
Sonal Chauhan is the latest Bhatt find. Slowly and steadily, the svelte girl has been making her transition from ramps to Bollywood.

She is already being touted as the next Kangana Ranaut in the making. Sweet and sexy Sonal is set to make her acting debut in the Vishesh Films' next production titled Jannat opposite Emraan Hashmi .

Born and brought up in Delhi, Sonal shot to fame by reaching the finals of the Miss India pageant in 2005. It was also the year Sonal won the Miss World Tourism in Malaysia. She was the first Indian to win the title.

Once she was a popular name, modeling offers began pouring in without her asking. Though her parents did not approve of her becoming a model, Sonal pursued her dream and did many advertisements for popular brands like Ponds, Diet Pepsi, Lays, Hero Honda Passion and Nokia. She even shifted to Mumbai to continue her modeling career.

Things took a new turn when Mahesh Bhatt spotted Sonal in an ad. Known for giving breaks to new girls, Bhatt approached Sonal for his movie 'Jannat', directed by Kunal Deshmukh. Though Sonal had got acting offers in the past and she had turned them down, the script of Jannat "captivated" her.

"I knew that females have more than walk-on roles in the films by the Bhatts. And after I heard 'Jannat', I immediately said yes," Sonal is quoted as saying.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Sonal was aboard the project and she got considerable help and support from the entire team at Vishesh Films while shooting her first movie. And oh, she also has a passionate kiss with Emraan in the film.

Ask her about the kiss and Sonal replies: "It was a demand of the scene. Neither me nor Emraan was comfortable doing it."

Emraan not comfortable kissing? Hard to believe!

I've always done what I felt instinctively right: Sonal Chauhan



Sonal Chauhan
Sonal Chauhan has been lying low after making her debut in the hit film Jannat . Though the girl was offered another plum project by the Bhatts, she turned it down. She says her decisions are driven by her instinct.
While newcomers look out to cash in on the success of their first film, Sonal has been biding her time and choosing projects selectively rather than lapping up anything coming her way. Today, instead of any big budgeted Bollywood potboiler, she's doing a film on painter M F Hussain's biopic. The film is being directed by Hussain's son Owais.

"The moment I heard Owais' project I knew this was what I wanted to do. I didn't care how commercial it sounded. It just sounded right for me. I've always done what I instinctively felt to be right,"

Sonal has been shooting the film in Chandigarh where she even suffered a burn injury during one of the shoots.

"It could've been much worse. There I was on a crane, heading towards the sky when these two floodlights came close to my face. No one had any idea how warm the lights were. By the time I was brought down the damage had already been done. I was singed and in pain," Sonal revealed.

But did she not feel bad turning down the Bhatts film Jashnn despite the fact that the Bhatts launched her in Bollywood.

"I wouldn't say I turned them down. It (the film) was just not what I wanted to do at that time," Sonal said.

But Sonal doesn't have any regrets. The latest on her front is that she has signed to play a female lead in director Anthony D'Souza 's next thriller after Blue . The movie would star her opposite John Abraham .

"Yes, we've met and I'm doing Tony's film," Sonal confirmed.

I never loved my abusive ex-boyfriend: Sonal Chauhan



Sonal Chauhan
Tony D’Souza, the director of the much-discussed Blue who has worked with beauties like Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta and Kylie Minogue in his first film, has zeroed in on Sonal Chauhan to play the lead in his second film which will be an action-adventure drama with John Abraham in the lead.
So taken up was the director by the pretty actress that he couldn’t muster the courage to approach her…until Sonal who came to know of Tony’s film, made the first move.
Laughs Sonal, “Yes we’ve met about the film and I’m doing Tony’s film.”
Not much has been heard about the reclusive Jannat girl Sonal Chauhan. After saying no to a number of projects including the Bhatts’ Jashan, Sonal finally surfaced in Punjab for the shooting of M.F Husain’s son Owais Husain’s film.
Only to suffer a painful burn injury.
Speaking from Chandigarh the plucky girl tried to laugh her pain away. “It could’ve been much worse. There I was on a crane, heading towards touching the sky when these two floodlights came close to my face. No one had any idea how warm the light was. By the time I was brought down the damage had already been done. I was singed and in pain.”

Luckily medical help was at hand. “You know more care is taken during these backwater outstation shootings. I’m now well on the way to recovery. And I love Chandirgarh. I don’t want to leave this place although our schedule is nearly over, ” says Sonal who completed a Kannada film after Jannat and was waiting for the right Hindi project.
“The moment I heard Owais’ project I knew this was what I wanted to do. I didn’t care how commercial it sounded. It just sounded right for me I’ve always done what I instinctively felt to be right.”
About turning down the Bhatts after they had given her a break like Jannat Sonal protests, “I wouldn’t say I turned them down. It was just not what I wanted to do at that time. Now I hear Mahesh Bhatt Saab himself has directed Jashan. So it must have turned out really special.”
Like it or not Sonal came into the industry in a flurry of controversies. There were scandal about an abusive boyfriend turned stalker, and public scenes with him.
Has this incident put Sonal off love for good? “You’re going by the outside perception of what I went through, That wasn’t love at all. And I’m certainly not off love.
I’m just to much into my work right now to think about anything else. I got a dream launch in Jannat. And I couldn’t allow that rare opportunity to be wasted, ” says the Rajput girl who’s about the launch her own website
And that brings us to the latest controversy in Sonal’s career. Apparently someone had launched a fake website pretending to be Sonal Chauhan.
“When I heard about it I couldn’t let it go because I was launching my own website. I put my lawyers on to the imposter.
We tracked the culprit down and brought him to book. I think it’s very important for known people in our entertainment industry to stand up against cyber crimes. We take them too casually and encourage hackers and imposters.”

Jannat star Sonal Chauhan’s boyfriend arrested for slapping her



Sonal Chauhan who made her debut in Bollywood recently with Emraan Hashmi in Jannat was allegedly slapped by her boyfriend Sahil Zaroo at the city Airport. Now we hear that Sahil Zaroo is being arrested by the Police for assault.
According to onlookers Sahil and Sonal met at the Santa Cruz domestic airport, and while Sonal was collecting her boarding pass for Hyderabad at the Jet Airways counter Sahil got into an argument and allegedly slapped her. Sonal Chauhan’s father was present there when this event occurred. The CISF personnel handed Sahil over to Santa Cruz Airport Police.
“Sahil snatched her mobile and tried to embrace her while she resisted. So we slapped theft and molestation charges against him,” said senior police inspector S M Ghuge.
Sonal Chauhan’s boyfriend
Surprisingly, Chauhan registered a complaint in the name of Sonal Raghuraj Singh, 21. In her complaint, she said that she was a student. The Delhi court on Wednesday remanded Zaroo who was arrested under sections 323, 354, 448, 509 and 427 of the Indian Penal Code for assaulting Sonal. He was earlier accused of selling cocaine to BJP leader Pramod Mahajan’s son Rahul Mahajan.

Sonal Chauhan has a car accident on expressway

Sonal Chauhan was a victim of the incessant monsoon rains. The actress was off to Pune for an appearance, after completing her final day of shoot for Buddha Hoga Terra Baap when she met with a mishap on the expressway.


As it was pouring, the car skid off the road and hit a road divider. The vehicle was damaged but Sonal and her driver were safe, though the driver complained of sprain in his back and arm. The actress had a slight bump and minor bruises on her head. Sonal got help from passers-by and only after the driver assured her that all was well with him, they resumed their journey.

Sonal Chauhan said 'no' to wearing bikini



Newcomer Sonal Chauhan says she was asked to wear bikini in her debut film.

Jannat marks the transition or rather graduation of Sonal from ramps to Bollywood. And the gorgeous belle has already got her priorities right in place.

sonal chauhan
For starters, she is not game for posing in revealing clothes. She is also not open to doing intimate scenes with her co-stars. Sonal has revealed in an interview that she was asked to wear a bikini and do a bed scene with Emraan Hashmi in 'Jannat', but she refused to do them.


"I have not shot a single scene where I am in bikini or in such a condition that I cannot watch with my family," says Sonal and goes on to claim that 'Jannat' doesn't even have a kissing scene between Emraan and her.

However, what she does concede to is doing a pole dance for a song with Russian dancers.

Sonal adds that working with Hashmi was fun. She recalls that he tried playing a few pranks on her, but without much success.

"On a promotional event he tried to add something into my drink, but I caught him. During shooting, we played pranks on a few unit-members by knocking on the doors of their rooms and disappearing," says Sonal.

Apart from 'Jannat', Sonal has two more films with Vishesh Films. She recently also signed a film by producer Kumar Mangat .

Sonal Chauhan set to perform alongside international rockstar Bryan Adams



Sonal Chauhan
Among the many newcomers who made a lasting impression this year (2008) is the tall and sexy actress Sonal Chauhan. The babe debuted opposite Emraan Hashmi in Mukesh Bhatt's Jannat and the movie even went on to become a Superhit, yet Sonal hasn't been seen or heard of much since then.

Now, all Sonal fans would get to see their favorite actress in a brand new avatar. Sonal would be seen sharing the stage and performing alongside internationally acclaimed rockstar Bryan Adams at a gala event in January next year. The gig has been organized by a leading jewellery company and this is the first time a mainstream Bollywood actress would be seen performing alongside a top international rockstar.

Needless to say, Sonal is all pumped up and excited at the thought of sharing the stage with someone like Bryan Adams who has a huge fan following across the world. One thing's for certain, whether she remembers Bryan's hit track 'Summer of 69' or not, Sonal will certainly not forget 'Winter of 2009' for the rest of her life.

Tony D'Souza, who has worked with Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta and Kylie Minogue in his much-discussed "Blue", has zeroed in on Sonal Chauhan to play the lead role opposite John Abraham in his next film, which will be an action-adventure drama. "Yes, we've met and I'm doing Tony's film," said the "Jannat" girl Sonal Chauhan, who herself approached Tony when she came to know about his film.
