‘Okay to have quality friends than quantity in the industry’

Sonal Vengurlekar, known for TV shows such as Dil Dosti Dance, The Buddy Project, Shastri Sisters and Yeh Vaada Raha, is not new to controversies. Be it slapping her co-star, not gelling well with her colleagues, throwing tantrums on the sets of her show to breaking up with her boyfriend and falling into depression; she has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. However, Sonal is unperturbed.

She says, “People, who know me well, know the real Sonal. I’m okay to have quality friends than quantity in this industry. This field is very ‘matlabi’ if I can say that. People are unhappy if you are doing well and happy when you are sitting idle at home. I think that I’ve always been a soft target for controversies maybe because I have not gelled well or should I say ‘I did not do chamchagiri’. People have just written or concluded about me being the bad girl, but none has heard my side of the story.”

Sonal adds, “Yes, I did slap my co-actor (Ankush Arora on the sets of Yeh Vaada Raha), and I can do it again. He had hurled hell lot of abuses first, and my slap was a return gift to him. I’m strong enough to defend myself. I believe in giving it back on the spot.”

About her work, the actor, who is a part of an ongoing revenge drama, says that she is open to experimenting: “I believe in challenging myself. I also want to participate in a reality show, I think Bigg Boss would be an ideal show.”
