Sonu Walia

Mumbai is a city of arrivals and departures; everyone comes here with the idea of arriving, no one leaves. As a result, we’ve created for your pleasure Missing, a chronicle of stars who fell off the map one fine day after enjoying some serious exposure in the world of popular culture.
Missing will be our daily tribute to heroes, some zeroes, heroines, vamps, villains, Indipop singers, models who pretended like they could act, zombied divas who could shake a leg or two when the need arose – a cavalcade of folks who are guaranteed to thrill you. Do have a blast with our blast from the past.
Today's Missing star is
Sonu WaliaVITAL STATS: She won the Miss India in 1985. In 1988, she was in a swimming pool with a Speedo-clad Kabir Bedi, crooning to a plagiarized version of Vangelis’s Chariots of Fire theme track.
The film was Rakesh Roshan’s blockbuster Khoon Bhari Maang, stolen from Australian mini-TV series Return to Eden.
Then after some random roles in television serials (mainly Cinevista productions) Sonu Walia has gone Missing.
We’d like to know why and if she’s planning on making a comeback as a producer or a fashion designer or any format that she deems fit. She was also known for her resemblance to Parveen Babi and Zeenat Aman, yesteryear sex symbols from the late ‘70s.
