NewsTranscript
00:00But you came to cinema in those days, Pugazham, Unvasam, a good heroine material.
00:05I don't know how glamour happened, sorry.
00:08At one point of time, I brought my mother and explained.
00:11Mom, I feel a little glamour,
00:15If I come home as Sona, Sona, I feel better.
00:18If I go like that, there will be a lot of adjustments.
00:22Without that, I won't be Sona, Sona, I will change.
00:26This is better for that, mom.
00:28If you are so innocent, some people take advantage of it.
00:31That's what they buy, they keep me.
00:34To be honest, not only for the world,
00:37I thought it was good for me personally.
00:40But I think my honesty is causing me problems in half.
00:43Maybe like this.
00:45How do you see cinema's culture being like this?
00:49It's a different thing for them to struggle and do it.
00:51But it's a different thing to do it thinking you just need money.
00:54I did it in Innocence too.
00:56I did it in a family situation too.
00:58At that time, if I had a mentor or an advisor,
01:01or if I had someone to lean on,
01:05maybe my decisions would have been better.
01:07This web series is the only bold move I have taken.
01:11I am a good person, I live a perfect life.
01:17I live my life like the people around me, nothing like that.
01:22Can you get married, fall in love?
01:24Oh no, I tried everything but it didn't work out.
01:28They don't come to get me married, they just say they'll keep me.
01:32It's very sad.
01:34How do you feel when they say that?
01:37I feel like, how can I ask for this?
01:41But if I ask for it,
01:43they'll say, if you dance, you'll ask for this, why?
01:49How old were you when you came to me?
01:51Around 17 and a half, 18.
01:53Oh my God, now?
01:55Yes, I am about 47.
01:56I have been in this for so many years.
01:59I have been in doubt whether I have chosen the right path.
02:04Do you feel like you haven't reached the top yet?
02:07See, actually I am not at the top for sure.
02:12I am not at the bottom for sure.
02:15I am there.
02:16I have been with Sona for 25 years.
02:19What do you feel when you see the Me Too issue and people getting hurt?
02:27I was the first one to file a Me Too complaint in 2010.
02:31Did you get justice for that?
02:32Yes.
02:34I got a written apology.
02:37I thought of filing a complaint against XYZ.
02:40So I did.
02:41But the next morning when I saw it, it blew up.
02:45Because XYZ is now a legend's son.
02:48I didn't know anyone.
02:50But his father spoke to him.
02:55Did Ajith and Vijay meet you then?
02:57When I was acting with Ajith, they were in love with Shalini.
03:02Oh, okay.
03:03So they came to the spot in between.
03:06Ajith sir didn't blush and meet anyone.
03:08He only met that team.
03:10He used to blush.
03:11He used to feel very shy when they came.
03:13What is your crush on Vijay?
03:16I have a crush on Vijay.
03:19He has a song called Achacha Punnagai.
03:21Go watch it on YouTube.
03:22They give a lead for that song.
03:23The heroine says, I love you.
03:25But I am the one who comes out.
03:28He finished the shot and smiled.
03:31I asked him why he smiled so much.
03:32He said, it was like what I said.
03:38What is your problem with Seeman Vijay?
03:40Because you are a woman who follows politics.
03:46A lot of things have happened with Vijayalakshmi.
03:49Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight for so many years.
03:58The problem we are going to see today
04:01won't be like an interview.
04:03I believe it will be like a debate.
04:07Because they are going to speak only the truth.
04:11The film they have shot is based on true events.
04:15So, it will be based on truth only.
04:17I welcome Sona to One India Tamil Nair.
04:20Welcome.
04:20Thank you so much.
04:22As I said, I believe it will be based on truth only.
04:26Because the film you have shot is based on true events.
04:30Those are the events that happened in your life.
04:33First, you were an actress and then an actor.
04:35When did the dream of becoming an actor start?
04:38I think it started with a personal growth.
04:44I like to learn a lot of things.
04:48I like to excel in what I learn.
04:51As an actress, everyone knows Sona.
04:57I tried production.
05:00I would say that I failed financially.
05:04I took a film as a producer, announced it and released it.
05:09I would say that I was successful in that too.
05:12Why direction?
05:15Because a lot of things have happened in my life.
05:18Other than a lot of things happening in my life,
05:23why am I like this?
05:27Why is there a lot of controversy around me?
05:29Why is there so much going on?
05:31I myself have a lot of questions.
05:33It has been almost 40 years since I understood myself.
05:38God has placed me in a position.
05:42I have already told this to two people.
05:44I am very lucky because I came without anything.
05:48God has placed me in a position.
05:50I wanted to do something good in that position.
05:53I wanted to do something good and helped a lot of people financially.
05:58I took a break and then I sat quietly.
06:03I don't think there is a need for help only financially.
06:07Knowledge is not a bad thing.
06:12My story is not about the life of a proper cinema artist.
06:20Any lady, what we go through, how we handle things,
06:28mainly, we can handle anything.
06:31How do we handle fear?
06:34What is fear in Tamil?
06:35Fear.
06:36How do we handle fear?
06:38How do we handle it when we are alone?
06:40How do we go through it?
06:42How do we come out of it?
06:44When you come out and think of the tone, you get the next blow.
06:47It's a process.
06:48Life has its ups and downs.
06:51After handling it,
06:53Even then, don't give up.
06:55Being an actress is a different thing.
07:01But Sona, wherever you look, you smile and have a beautiful face.
07:04But I have a lot inside me.
07:05But I don't smile.
07:07Everyone do that. Life will change better.
07:10Life will be different.
07:11Yekinar is not a big responsibility.
07:13He is the reason for everything in the film.
07:17Who did you learn this from?
07:19Was it an assistant director?
07:21I did a course in 2014.
07:24I did a direction course.
07:26Where did you do it?
07:28In Kodambakkam, in Gokulam area.
07:33I did it there.
07:35But then, as an assistant director, I asked 8 well-known directors.
07:39I asked the people I worked with.
07:41Even if they say it's a comedy, it's the truth.
07:45If I were to handle a heroine, I would be after you.
07:47If you were an AD, how would I protect you?
07:51My job would be lost.
07:53Even if it's a joke, it's the truth.
07:56Will they protect me?
07:59Because I'm also a known face.
08:01If I go to a village and roam around,
08:04There are complications.
08:07When I ask so many people and get a standard answer,
08:11The point they give is not wrong.
08:13It's a fair point.
08:15For self-experience, I started watching directions completely.
08:20Before, I used to sit and have fun on the spot.
08:23But after that, I started to note it down.
08:25I started watching it in my own imagination.
08:29I started to learn from it.
08:30After that, I wrote a lot of scripts.
08:32I wrote about 50 scripts.
08:33I wrote about 48 scripts.
08:35I threw them away.
08:37It was like a learning process.
08:40After that, I thought,
08:42First, I should go and say something.
08:45I should go on the right track.
08:48As a director, I shouldn't lose.
08:51So, I decided to say it anyway.
08:54Anyway, I wrote another magazine, Life History.
08:58They released a book.
08:59So, I know there's a lot.
09:02You're a director yourself.
09:04There's no way I'll go wrong there.
09:07I'm trying to tell my story.
09:09How was the field work?
09:11I cried a lot.
09:12Because,
09:13I had to relive the tough times in my life.
09:17When you're an artist,
09:21If you're a well-experienced artist,
09:23You can pick it up and do it.
09:25There's no problem.
09:26I brought in a new girl.
09:27I made her understand.
09:30Sometimes, when she didn't come,
09:32I sat in front of her and acted.
09:33I prompted her and showed her.
09:35I told her to take action.
09:37When everything was set,
09:39It was a very difficult process.
09:40Why did you choose a known person?
09:42There were two reasons.
09:44First, I wanted someone to look like me.
09:46Because,
09:47Even if a lot of people know me,
09:50I'm not going to use anyone's name.
09:52I'm going to use people who resemble me.
09:55It's just a matter of guessing.
09:57But, everyone knows the main Sona.
10:00At least, 20-15 years ago,
10:02Sona looked like this.
10:04That's why I brought her.
10:06But, that's also a mistake.
10:07I'm not going to bring her from Bombay.
10:10So, you're from Bombay?
10:12No, I'm from Tamil Nadu.
10:14The problem is,
10:16My father's side is French and German mixed.
10:19My mother's side is Sri Lankan.
10:21So, I'm fully English at home.
10:23Where were you in Tamil Nadu?
10:25Peshawakam.
10:26Before that, I was in Pondicherry.
10:28After that, I was in Peshawakam.
10:30But, how can I say fully?
10:33When I came to cinema, I learned Tamil.
10:36Even now,
10:38I don't have the right words
10:40or the right respect.
10:42If I have to go to a unit, I'll tell them.
10:44Even if they're mature,
10:46no matter who they are, they're my brothers.
10:48I'm at that age,
10:50no matter who they are, they're my sisters.
10:52If there are boys,
10:54it's easy to say,
10:56I'm from Bombay.
10:58But, there are chances
11:00that they misunderstand.
11:02So, when I say, I have to go,
11:04don't mistake me.
11:06I'm like a person I know.
11:08I don't have any respect for you.
11:10I'll surrender.
11:12If you're so innocent,
11:14some people take advantage of it.
11:16Yes, they do.
11:18What I thought was,
11:20being honest and being true.
11:22We can say this in Tamil too.
11:24What's the name of being honest and being true?
11:26Being honest.
11:28If we're honest,
11:30not only to the world,
11:33but also personally,
11:35I think it's good for us.
11:37I think my honesty is the problem.
11:39But, I can't change.
11:41I'm almost 47.
11:43How can I change?
11:45That's the problem for many people.
11:47Being honest and being true.
11:49Even if I'm wrong,
11:51I said this in an interview,
11:53I'm a bit crazy.
11:55Who would say this?
11:57Not because I say it,
11:59I don't want good names.
12:02I don't know how to put a censor in my mouth.
12:04That's the problem.
12:06In those days,
12:08you did movies like Poovalam Unvasam.
12:10Yes, correct.
12:12You did movies like that.
12:14You were a good heroine material.
12:16Even if you were standing next to the heroine,
12:18you were a good heroine material.
12:20You were homely.
12:22I don't know how it became glamorous.
12:24That's what I came to ask.
12:26How did it change?
12:28You could have gone the same way.
12:30You would have been so beautiful.
12:32How did it change?
12:34How did you accept it?
12:40It changed when my mother got sick.
12:44Due to financial reasons,
12:46I needed more work.
12:48Even if I said it so easily,
12:50it was not easy.
12:52I struggled a lot.
12:54When I did the first three films,
12:56if you look closely,
12:59in all the scenes,
13:01my eyes would be red.
13:03I would cry a lot.
13:05When you come with an innocence,
13:07if you show it like this,
13:09or if the hero touches you like this,
13:11you feel like,
13:13they spoiled us,
13:15we are over.
13:17I lost everything I had.
13:19I would cry a lot.
13:21I would talk about it at home.
13:23At one point in time,
13:25I brought my mother and explained it to her.
13:27Mother, show me a little glamour,
13:29and if you come home,
13:31in a sona style,
13:33I will feel better.
13:35If you go like that,
13:37there will be a lot of adjustments.
13:39Without that,
13:41I won't be in a sona style.
13:43I will change.
13:45This is better for that.
13:47At that time,
13:49I felt it was the right decision.
13:51Even now, I feel it was a wrong decision.
13:53At that time,
13:56I made a foolish decision.
13:58Secondly, there was no one to advise me.
14:00Mentally.
14:06How do you see the culture of cinema?
14:08I'm not saying this for everyone,
14:10but how do you see
14:12the culture of cinema for some people?
14:18Some people get caught in innocence.
14:22Some people get caught in the interest of money.
14:24It's a different matter
14:26for them to work hard,
14:28but it's a different matter
14:30for them to work hard
14:32only for money.
14:34For some people,
14:36it's a situation.
14:38I'll tell you both.
14:40I did it in innocence,
14:42and also in a family situation.
14:44Again,
14:46at that time,
14:48if I had a mentor,
14:50or an advisor,
14:53maybe my decisions would have been better.
14:55Even if I did glamour,
14:59I would have taken care of myself.
15:03Now, you're a director.
15:05Overall,
15:07how do you see the transition?
15:11A little bit of happiness.
15:15I'm happy because
15:19I'm trying to make my life better.
15:21How old were you when you came?
15:23Around 17 and a half, 18.
15:27Now, I'm about 47.
15:33When my first film was released,
15:35I was 19.
15:39All these years,
15:41you've gone in the same direction.
15:43You've gone in the same direction.
15:47Have you reached the top?
15:50Actually,
15:52I'm not at the top.
15:54I'm not at the bottom.
15:56I'm there.
16:00I've been at Sona for 25 years.
16:02Everyone knows Sona.
16:06Now, I have a passion for cinema.
16:08I have a career.
16:12When you asked me this question,
16:14I felt it was true.
16:16I came for survival.
16:18I have to survive.
16:20I have to take care of my mother.
16:22I have to educate my sisters.
16:24When I'm at that stage,
16:26I feel like I'm managing somehow.
16:30That's my pride.
16:32So, you're independent?
16:34Yes.
16:36Do you want to get married?
16:38I've tried everything.
16:44I really wanted to get married
16:47and settle down.
16:49But it didn't happen.
16:51Because of the glamour tag,
16:53the majority of people
16:55played a negative role
16:57because I'm a glamour actress.
17:01They won't come to marry me.
17:03They'll say they'll keep me.
17:05It's very sad.
17:07How do you feel when they say that?
17:11Sometimes, I'll scold them.
17:13Sometimes, I'll yell at them.
17:15I'll look at them like that.
17:17When I look at them,
17:19I wonder how they feel
17:21when they ask me this question.
17:25But if I ask them,
17:27they'll say I'll ask like this.
17:29So, I'll look at them like that.
17:33Too bad.
17:35Have you spoken about all this
17:37in your movie, Smoky?
17:39Everything.
17:41In this web series,
17:44my bold move is
17:46to show that I'm a good person
17:48and that I've lived a perfect life.
17:50That only the people around me
17:52are my life.
17:54I've also shown
17:56that I've made mistakes.
17:58I've also shown that I've handled things.
18:00I've also shown that I've run away.
18:04Now, you're looking at me.
18:06I've shown that I'm Sona.
18:10I've shown that I've put a frame,
18:12I've shown that I've shown tolerance.
18:14Do you feel now
18:16that your golden period has come?
18:20That's what I'm saying.
18:22I didn't want to become a heroine.
18:24I didn't want to become a movie actress.
18:26Now, I love the industry.
18:28I can't live without the industry.
18:30But at that time, I didn't have interest.
18:32I needed a payment from the minister.
18:34I needed a salary.
18:36How much did they pay you?
18:38I got a good pay.
18:41At that time,
18:43I got Rs.25,000.
18:45My life was settled.
18:49Before that,
18:51when I worked as a laundry receptionist,
18:53I got Rs.650 to Rs.700
18:55monthly salary.
18:57Altogether, for 15 days,
18:59I got Rs.25,000.
19:01I was settled.
19:03After that,
19:05I wanted more and more.
19:07When Ajith and Vijay
19:09met,
19:11they were both top heroes.
19:13How did you feel
19:15when you saw the screen?
19:17When I acted with Ajith sir,
19:19they were in love.
19:21Shalini and all.
19:23They came to the spot.
19:25Ajith sir had never blushed before.
19:27He had only seen that team.
19:29He used to blush.
19:31He used to feel shy.
19:33According to that movie,
19:35I got that movie
19:38because
19:40it was like a family picnic.
19:42It was set in Prasad's studio.
19:44Daily,
19:46there were 20-30 artists.
19:48I wanted to say another thing.
19:50The artists who came before the 90s,
19:52our senior artists,
19:54till today,
19:56they don't see you as an artist.
19:58They see you as a child.
20:00They took care of me very well.
20:02In any way,
20:04I had fear.
20:06I didn't have any fear.
20:08That was a beautiful film.
20:10In the second film,
20:12I saw Shah Jahan.
20:14I had never seen a person
20:16like R.B. Choudhury in my life.
20:18He was a gem.
20:20In the same way,
20:22Vijay sir was quiet.
20:24He burst out on the screen.
20:28It was a joy to watch.
20:30But,
20:32I didn't know much about cinema.
20:35I only knew Ajith Vijay
20:37and Rajinikanth.
20:39I didn't know anything else.
20:41I had a crush on Vijay.
20:43There is a song by H.H. Appunnagai.
20:45Go and watch it on YouTube.
20:47They give a lead to the song.
20:49The heroine says,
20:51I love you,
20:53but I burst out.
20:55He laughed at the shot.
20:57He said,
20:59why are you acting like me?
21:01Actually,
21:03I changed a lot in this film.
21:05I actually joined the film
21:07as a proper second heroine.
21:09But,
21:11it was a good memory.
21:13I have no regrets.
21:15Bhuvula Unvasam had Nagai sir,
21:17Sivakumar sir,
21:19Vivek sir, Kovai sir.
21:21I had close friends
21:23for more than 10 years.
21:25We did an interview together.
21:27He must have acted in the film,
21:29Ayan Kadai.
21:32How can I say?
21:34So many people were there in the film.
21:36It was a big family.
21:38It was nice.
21:40Now, there are a lot of
21:42Me Too problems.
21:44Some people are
21:46in trouble.
21:48What do you feel when you see all that?
21:50When I see all that,
21:52I feel like everyone is talking about something new.
21:54I feel like laughing.
21:56In 2010,
21:58I was the first one to file a Me Too complaint.
22:00Correct.
22:02People know that.
22:06Did you get justice for that?
22:08Yes.
22:10I got a written apology.
22:12Oh, okay.
22:14Some people
22:16in the press section
22:18asked me
22:20what to do with the money.
22:22I got an apology
22:24and he sorted it out.
22:26We are standing for that.
22:29I felt
22:31one thing.
22:33I don't care what people think.
22:35If I leave this matter
22:37and go home, I'll sleep peacefully.
22:39I can't do that.
22:41So, I stood up and fought.
22:43For two hours,
22:45I said, if you ask for forgiveness,
22:47I'll let it go.
22:49It was different.
22:51After that,
22:53I went to the police station.
22:55I didn't expect
22:57that I'd file a complaint.
22:59So, I did.
23:01The next morning,
23:03it exploded.
23:05XYZ is a legend's son.
23:07I didn't know anyone.
23:09I just recalled.
23:13I didn't expect that.
23:15Neither did I.
23:17But it exploded.
23:19I felt bad for him.
23:23I'm a woman.
23:26I didn't ask for anything.
23:28I just apologized.
23:30Did his father talk to you?
23:32Nice.
23:34He's a legend.
23:36Not only that,
23:38in the industry,
23:40many people
23:42big big people
23:44everyone called me,
23:46everyone supported me.
23:48Only a small section
23:50supported me.
23:52At least 80%
23:55supported me.
23:57Nice.
23:59I'm ever grateful for that.
24:01But if you file a complaint,
24:03you don't get a chance.
24:05I've been sitting for years.
24:07But you shouldn't regret it.
24:09No, never.
24:11I'm very simple.
24:13I don't know Tamil well.
24:15I speak very casually.
24:17In casual,
24:19I say,
24:21is it right or wrong
24:23is it right or wrong
24:25whatever it is.
24:27But in the end,
24:29Sana can listen to advice.
24:31But Sana cannot
24:33follow advice.
24:35Sana has her own stomach.
24:37Only if she works,
24:39she can take care of her family.
24:41People will talk.
24:43But we have to live.
24:45For our peace,
24:47for our livelihood,
24:49for our future,
24:52at least 5%
24:54we can make mistakes.
24:56We can take wrong decisions.
24:58But we have to take those decisions well.
25:00From that,
25:02we have to learn how to live.
25:04Who are your female friends in the industry?
25:06There are.
25:08There's Sangeetha, Sonia Agrawal, Ramya Krishnan.
25:10Quite a bit of
25:12people.
25:14But for 7-8 years,
25:16I stopped partying, stopped drinking.
25:18That's what I came to ask next.
25:20I'm in touch with everyone.
25:22But I don't go and see anyone.
25:24I don't want to get
25:26into that same thing again.
25:28Partying, clubbing.
25:30What's the problem with Seema and Vijay?
25:32Because you are a female
25:34who follows politics.
25:36That's what I'm asking.
25:38Have you seen it?
25:40I've seen it,
25:42but I've seen bits and pieces of it.
25:45Okay.
25:47I don't know.
25:49On Vijayalakshmi's side,
25:51maybe a lot of things have happened.
25:53Otherwise, there's no way
25:55to fight so openly for years.
25:57At the same time,
25:59we only know what she said.
26:01From her side,
26:03I think he just started talking.
26:05I saw it yesterday,
26:07but I didn't read it.
26:09We don't know what's going on on his side.
26:11But personally,
26:13in this issue,
26:15above a certain stage,
26:19when you go public
26:21about your personal issues,
26:23no one has a chance
26:25to get justice.
26:27Everyone will have their own judgments.
26:29We don't know the truth.
26:31So I really hope
26:33whether it's Seeman sir or Vijayalakshmi,
26:35whoever is right,
26:37let them get justice.
26:39Have any political parties
26:42asked you to get into politics?
26:44Many times.
26:46I love politics.
26:48I follow it a lot.
26:50But no matter what happens,
26:52I will not get into politics.
26:54I've promised my mother.
26:56She said,
26:58if I go into politics for a living,
27:00it won't suit me.
27:02She's very orthodox.
27:04I went into politics,
27:06and everything was fine.
27:08But she hasn't asked me anything
27:10about politics.
27:12I've promised her
27:14that I won't get into politics.
27:16Has your mother been there?
27:18No, it's been 8 years.
27:20You've seen a lot in life.
27:22There's nothing more to see.
27:24But what you've learnt through this
27:26is to face whatever happens.
27:28Right or wrong.
27:30You're right perfectly.
27:32Whenever I'm scared,
27:34I sit in my room and start crying,
27:36the problem increases.
27:39The more I face it,
27:41the better things are.
27:43I believe that smoke will also speak.
27:45Definitely.
27:47In the days to come,
27:49let there be red flags
27:51and welcome us.
27:53It's not wrong.
27:55Everyone should get it.
27:57Let Sona's life be like that.
28:01Thank you, Sona.
