When asked about what kind of storytelling excites her the most today, Sonali’s answer reflected a mixture of emotion and honesty that defines her approach to work and life. “I do look for something which is a little more authentic, and by that I don’t mean it has to be only gritty and real. Sometimes, there can be a very authentic emotion in a very unreal situation. I want that bit of authenticity in the character, in the story that’s being told or that I’m reading,” Sonali shared with Zoom.She added, “There are too many stories around us - every time you scroll through social media, there are little stories. What attracts me is when I can believe it or identify with it. When there is authenticity, it touches something in every person. Human emotions are human emotions — as long as they are authentic, they don’t really change that much.”
