INTERVIEW
‘I am
a learning actor’
Sonu Sood, the
tall, handsome Punjabi is making a mark in Bollywood. Whether as
Sujamal, the affectionate Bhaisa in Jodhaa-Akbar, or
Abhishek Bachchan’s brother in Yuva, Sonu is here to
stay. Shoma A. Chatterji in
a tete-0-tete with the actor
Where do Sonu Sood’s roots lie?
I am from Moga in
Punjab. My father is a businessman and my mother is a professor
of English and History. Among the three children, I am the only
son. After school, I did electronics engineering in Nagpur. I
did modelling for some time in Delhi. But there was this desire
to reach out, to do something more relevant and lasting, which

precious stones and diamonds in meenakari and
kundankari has been an integral part for all festivals and
family-oriented occasions. Now these old style jewelleries are
back with a bang.
