Sonia Balani started her career with television, and she was seen in popular series such as Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Detective Didi, Tu Mera Hero, and Surveen Guggal-Topper of The Year.
Sonia Balani started her Bollywood career with Tum Bin II (2016). However, the film failed at the box office, and her debut went unnoticed. After Tum Bin II, she was seen in Baazaar (2018).
Back in 2016, it was reported that Sonia went through a transformation and lost weight to look perfect for her character in Tu Mera Hero. While speaking to Etimes, Sonia said, “When the show started, I was a little chubby but slowly and gradually, I lost some weight." Rather than opting for gymming and diet, Sonia decided to lose weight through dancing.
Sonia's decade-long career finally got its worth with the newly-released, The Kerala Story. In two days, the film has earned Rs 19.25 crores in India.
