In the spotlight with Sonny Chatrath

When did you start acting?

I started acting in 2007.

Describe your acting style.

I am a natural actor.

What was the biggest audience you have performed in front of?

I have performed in front of a theater full of people, about 3000 people.

Tell me something I may not know from reading your resume.

My first acting job was as a model for a television commercial for my own Travel Agency.

What advice do you have for new actors?

Don't give up your day job. Acting is not a full time job, and you will need a source of income to keep you going.

What attracted you to begin a career as an actor?

Compliments from casting directors who auditioned me for a lead role for a feature film which shot in 2010 called 9 Eleven. I bagged the lead role of Dr. Rahat Khan.

Of all the roles you have played in the past, which is your favorite?

I played the antagonist in a film that shot in 2012 called "Pyar Mein Kyun". I quickly realized that I could play the bad guy with ease and the audience reaction was phenomenal as well.

What are some of your professional goals for the future?

I would like to be a host. I have just launched my Youtube Channel and I have already interviewed 6 Personalities from the South Asian Film Industry. I will continue to interview more celebrities and influencers in the months and years ahead.

What are you working on at the moment?

I just launched my own YouTube Channel, https://www.youtube.com/c/sonn... where I have been interviewing Actors, Directors, and Producers of South Asian Origin. I am the founder of a Facebook group for South Asian Artists, where we have artists from every single field. I have interviewed 6 personalities until now and will be interviewing many more in the days to come.
