'Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin'; Sonu Sood's old college love letter for THIS Telugu girl resurfaces on the internet
Before becoming the man India admires today, Sonu Sood was just another young boy in love. During his engineering college days in Nagpur, Sonu had written a simple, handwritten love note to a girl who would later become his life partner, Sonali . The note, signed off with the famous line 'Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin,' recently resurfaced on his Instagram, taking many by surprise. It offered a rare glimpse into a personal chapter of his life that he usually guards with quiet dignity. The Woman Behind the Man As reported by Her zindagi, Sonali, a Telugu girl who was pursuing her MBA when she met Sonu, has been his anchor through thick and thin. From standing by him when he moved to Mumbai and shared a cramped 1BHK with three other strugglers to believing in him even when his dreams seemed distant, she's been there. In his own words, 'Initially, she was not happy when I wanted to be an actor, but today, she's proud of me.' Married in 1996, much before the camera lights found him, Sonali stayed out of the spotlight and let her husband chase the one in front of it. And that quiet support, Sonu says, made all the difference. Love That Outlasted Stardom Today, when Sonu Sood is celebrated not just as an actor but as a humanitarian who rose to the occasion during the migrant crisis of COVID-19, it's easy to forget the years of grit, rejection, and sacrifice behind his smile. But Sonu hasn't. In every interview, every offhand remark about family, and especially in that one note he posted with the words '#memories,' it's clear: fame may have arrived late, but love was always on time. Professionally, Sonu Sood was last seen in the action thriller 'Fateh'. Sonu Sood Rescues Snake With Bare Hands, Urges Fans Not to Try It
