She also reminsiced working with Sridevi. “It was a pleasure to act with the incredible Sridevi. Highly cherished memories,” Soni added.

Soni recently shared a throwback picture of herself on Instagram. She captioned: “When I was 21. Sigh youth, when we were young. Those were the days.” It drew several comments from fans who pointed out her resemblance to her daughter, Alia.

“Alia is your carbon copy,” wrote one user, while another commented: “Alia is just a replica of yours. Very pretty.” One user wrote: “Like mom, like daughter.” The mother and daughter have worked together in “Raazi”.
