She has no qualms about doing intimate scenes, and understands that after all it’s a glamorous business. She has carved her own identity, and has made great strides in movie world in such a short span of time.

She is elegant, gorgeous and mesmerizes everyone with her grace and charm, yet she is very humble and down to earth person. Acting in movies, she makes her presence felt with her cool and confident acting. One can say that she is frank and fearless, and doesn’t hide any secret about her life. She has also stunned everyone with her slim and trim avatar and confidence on screen. She is simple, friendly, always smiling and a considerate young lady.

Sonal Monteiro never ceases to surprise. Because talent doesn’t wear with time. It only gets kaleidoscopic-she has mastered the art of balance. If she’s enjoying her real-life role of a grown-up girl, she’s also treading on untried territory as an artiste. She insists that she has never been part of mainstream fare. She’s part of the glam world but Sonal has retained her endearing earthiness. Sonal says she’s developed new insights about herself. She has a complex personality, and a little bit of a temper, but she has learnt that it is important to be kind.

Born on 11 August to (late) Vincent and Lita Monteiro, Sonal is one among the three girls in the family- her elder twin sisters are Sharon and Sharal. Having done her schooling at St Mary’s School-Falnir, Mangaluru, she completed her college at St Agnes College-Mangaluru. Sonal says since her childhood she has been a music lover, and at the age of 15 she had her first photo-shoot for a bridal boutique in the City. Competing for the Miss Mangalore 2013 pageant, she has also won the “Miss Beautiful Smile 2013′ contest. Having worked for a video album “Anjea Sarkhen Cheddun”, her first movie debut was Tulu film ” Ekka Sakka” directed by K.Soora J Shetty, which ran full houses at theatres for weeks.

Charan Suvarna-founder of Fashion abcd (a celebrity management firm) says “I believe one of the hardest hurdles to someone entering the acting world is age, but particularly at an young age, Success is inevitable with Talent. You will need to have the discipline and heart to say, “This is what I want and I need to sacrifice so that I can do this role, project, film” But if you are willing to make the sacrifice and work your butt off then you can have a successful career as an actor. and this is what I see in Sonal Monteiro. In coming days I count Sonal to be in a league of successful Bollywood actors. I feel proud that fashion abcd has tied up with Sonal in her movie career”.
