Sophie Choudry's Hollywood connection

Hey did you know that Sophie Choudry's real name is actually Sophia. She's named after the Italian diva Sophia Loren! All thanks to her father who adored Sophia Loren and hence her birth name is "Sophia", however she now goes by the name "Sophie".

And just her diva predecessor, Sophie was a star right since childhood. She was a performer from a young age: a part of the school choir and playing the lead role in school and college musicals. Her talent was discovered by the acclaimed music director Biddu when she was 13 years old. She started her career by singing back up for Shweta Shetty and Alisha Chinai.

And then straight into Bollywood where she made a stunning splash with her spunky role in Pyar Ke Side Effects and now she's all set to wow everyone with her two new releases. A fabulous item song in Sanjay Gadhvi's Kidnap which is supposed to be the highlight of the film and a rocking role opposite Neil Mukesh in Freeze!

Sophie's sure living up to her international namesake!
