Actress
Sofiya
Khan,
who
recently
made
her
Bollywood
debut
with
the
super
hit
movie
Sooryavanshi,
is
feeling
blessed
to
be
a
part
of
the
Akshay
Kumar-starrer.
She
was
seen
playing
the
character
of
Lily
and
after
the
movie
got
released,
she
is
now
popularly
known
as
'Desh
Ki
Beti',
because
of
popular
dialogue
in
the
film.
Amidst
all,
Filmibeat
recently
got
in
touch
with
newcomer
Sofiya
Khan
and
asked
about
her
reaction
to
the
audiences'
love
for
her
character.
Talking
about
her
journey,
Sofiya
Khan
said,
"Before
becoming
an
actor,
I
had
many
different
careers.
I
have
discharged
duties
as
a
backstage
manager,
stylist
and
also
as
designer.
One
day,
I
got
the
opportunity
to
audition
for
Lily's
part
in
the
film
&
I
was
fortunate
enough
that
I
was
selected
for
the
film.
I
feel
blessed
as
it's
not
an
easy
job
to
get
a
break
in
Bollywood,
but
I
think
my
parents'
blessing
had
a
big
contribution
to
the
same."
When
asked
about
the
hashtag
#DeshKiBeti,
Sofiya
Khan
replied,
"It's
an
honour!
I
am
grateful,
thankful
&
blessed.
I
used
to
see
hashtags
for
others,
hashtags
of
their
names
but
now
the
audience
has
given
me
this
#deshkibeti
hashtag.
I
would
especially
like
to
thank
the
writers
of
Sooryavanshi
-
Farhad
Samji
sir,
Sanchit
Bendre
sir
&
Vidhi
Ghodgaonkar."
While
concluding
the
conversation
with
us,
Sofiya
revealed
some
interesting
updates
about
her
upcoming
projects.
The
Sooryavanshi
actress
said,
"I
have
been
getting
good
offers
now
as
the
movie
has
drawn
the
attention
of
makers
towards
my
skill
as
an
actor.
One
of
my
movies'
releases
that
I
have
already
shot
is
up
for
next
year.
I
just
hope
that
I
do
more
and
more
good
projects
like
the
one
I
have
done
now."
Talking

Sooryavanshi,
the
