Sonya Hussyn gets compared with "everyone".
The 'Gangs of Khorasan' actress admitted she's been seen as a doppelganger for a host of Indian stars, including 'Baywatch' actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas and the late Sridevi, Bollywood's first ever female superstar.
Asked how often she gets compared with other famous stars, she told 'The Night Show': “People compare me with everyone. It depends on whatever the new get-up I do. They always compare me with someone. Nowadays, people say, ‘You look like Srivdevi.' "
While Sonya confessed to being "shocked" by the comparisons, she is hugely flattered because the women in question are "really beautiful".
She added: “I was shocked after hearing that because Sridevi is so beautiful. They also compare me with Priyanka Chopra. And well, she’s beautiful too but I like that comparison because I like her as a person.
“She’s an established and successful woman but Sridevi is like really beautiful. She’s very pretty and it’s a compliment for me if people think that I resemble her.
“In fact, I think highly of them. It’s a huge compliment for me."
The 'Tich Button' star has starred in far more TV series than movies and she admitted she thinks Bollywood needs to come up with a broader range of films.
She recently told BolNews.com: "I hope that our film industry would come up with more ideas and then more films. Film is a medium which can give you recognition internationally.
"No doubt our dramas are known all over the world for their quality content but when it comes to films, we still lag behind. I wish that more dedicated filmmakers, writers and directors come forward.
"At the moment, our drama directors are trying their best to fill the gap, but we need more educated filmmakers. So, probably I will do more films in future."
