A popular bollywood actress recently made a shocking revelation. The actress said that when she was between 15 to 16 years old, she used to go to the red-light area.

The actress of Bollywood films who worked in many memorable films in her short 4-year career won the hearts of the people through her character. This actress is none other than 'Tridev' fame Sonam Khan, who is also known as 'Oye-Oye' girl.


Recently, the actress shared a post on social media, in which she shared an anecdote related to the film 'Mitti Aur Sona'. The actress said that she used to go to the red light area at the age of 15 to 16 to understand her character. Sonam wanted to do complete justice to her character.

Felt the pain of girls

In this film, Sonam played the role of both a college girl and a courtesan. Sonam said in the post, 'I used to go to the red-light area and talk to the girls there, I used to feel their pain, fear, and insecurity. When Sonam was doing research for this film, she understood that playing a character is not just acting but it is an emotional journey.

I was comfortable wearing a bikini

Sonam wrote in the post, 'People used to see me only as a glamorous actress in that era because I was comfortable wearing a bikini. But, I wanted that through this film people should also know that I am also a good actress. According to Sonam, there was a scene in the film which was very difficult for her to do.


Courage came from those girls

In this scene, she was asked to wear a strapless dress, because it should have appeared as if she was not wearing anything. At first, Sonam was ready for this, but later she started crying bitterly. Sonam sat in the makeup room for hours and then went for the shoot. At that time she got courage from the same girls whom she had seen in the red light area. While doing the scene, Sonam only had the faces of the girls in her mind.
