This dress made it appear that I was wearing nothing. This scenario was necessary to accommodate the camera lens and viewpoint. I was prepared at first, but then I burst into tears and refused to do the scene because I was only 15–16 years old at that time. After many persuasions in the makeup room, I went on the set and did that scene. I gathered courage from the girls I had seen in the red-light area a few years ago.' When Sonam Decided To Leave World of Glitz and Glamour Sonam married Rajiv Rai, who is the son of prominent film producer Gulshan Rai, in 1991 and decided to leave the country, which ended her performing career.

Currently, Sonam is living the life of a housewife in Mumbai, happily with her family.
