Sonia Ray- A Sush fan!!!

Model-turned-actor Soniya Kapoor who currently plays Soniya Ray, a Bollywood actress with a teenaged daughter in 'Remix' (Star One), is referred as the 'remix' image of Sushmita Sen.

Like Sen, Soniya is shown as a former beauty queen who is a single parent and savvy enough to handle situations. Sonia agrees, "I am a die-hard fan of Sushmita Sen.

She is my icon. It's strange that all my friends would say that I bore an uncanny resemblance to Sush. I have watched 'Biwi No 1' and 'Main Hoon Na' several times. Subconsciously I have registered Sen's style and mannerisms."

Soniya was even asked to lip-sync a song in 'Remix' from the Sushmita-starrer 'Bas Itnaa Sa Khwab Hai' with her rich beau (played by Vinay Jain) in a dream-sequence. "It was a euphoric situation for me because I was imagining I was Sush", she blushes.

Kapoor has a sizeable Spanish fan-following who watch her episodes despite them being in Hindi. "Thats because 'Remix' is the Indian adaptation of the popular Spanish serial 'Rebelsway'," she discloses.

Soniya has deviated from her 'Sush' track and is playing the negative role of Shweta, the Biwi No 2 of Avinash (Sanjay Mitra) in 'Piya Ka Ghar' (Zee). Is there any counterpart of Randeep Hooda ( Sen's beau) in Soniya's life ? "I am waiting for my-kind-of-guy to come close and whisper 'main hoon na' ", she signs off.
