Soundous Moufakir Reflects on Her Bond With Sonu Sood During Fateh, “He Reminded Me That Whatever Is Meant for You Will Find Its Way”

Mumbai: Soundous Moufakir, actor and reality-show star known for her strong on-screen presence and evolving journey in Indian cinema, recently reflected on her experiences working with Sonu Sood and the guidance he offered her during the filming of Fateh.
Speaking about her collaboration with the actor and philanthropist Soundous says, “The first time I collaborated with Sonu Sood was years ago, during Roadies, when he was the host, we didn’t interact much on the show because I couldn’t speak Hindi at the time.” It wasn’t until the filming of Fateh that the two truly connected. “During Fateh, we really bonded. I remember him telling me how important it was for me to work on my Hindi and continue sharpening my acting craft, and that once I did, he would help me with auditions,” she said.
What made the experience especially meaningful for Soundous was Sonu Sood’s openness about his own journey in the industry. “He shared how he was an outsider too and how nothing came easily for him. He spoke about the obstacles he faced while navigating his way into films,” she recalled. His words of reassurance left a lasting impact. “He told me that whatever is truly meant for you will find its way to you, and that my time would come—that I would shine when the moment was right,” Soundous added. “He encouraged me to focus on choosing quality work, strong scripts, and the right people.” Reflecting on that phase today, Soundous describes Sonu Sood as a source of quiet motivation. “He was incredibly encouraging and reminded me that I am smart, hardworking, and talented,” she said, noting that his faith in her journey continues to inspire her as she moves forward in her career.
On the work front, the actress will next be seen in two upcoming movies, one of which is supported by one of Bollywood’s top production companies. Her career has advanced significantly as a result of these roles, which show her as a full-fledged film actress and place her in significant cinematic narratives rather than brief cameos. In addition to movies, Soundous has made a significant impact in the fashion industry. Born on 15th February 1998, her Moroccan ancestry has influenced her modern style, which has drawn the interest of stylists and designers and further solidified her reputation as a complex public figure. Her involvement in a number of well-known reality shows has also been crucial in enhancing her relationship with viewers.
