Speaking about her family’s reaction to her decision to pursue acting as a career, and not continuing with dentistry, Soundarya revealed, “Difficult was an understatement because I come from a family where entertainment is a luxury, and my mom and dad are very strict, especially my dad. For me, it was very difficult to convince my family because everyone is like an IAS or a teacher or engineer. For my family, entertainment wasn’t a great idea because of so many notions. Now, OTT has changed (that notion). They understand the talent part."

She further added, “So initially it was difficult (to convince my family) because I was doing good, and I was doing my internship (as a dentist) when I was offered my first film. It was quite an emotional turmoil for me to move to Mumbai, and later to LA to New York Film Academy. That was a big shocker for my family. But now they are happy, because they are seeing me working hard."

Soundarya will also be a part of the upcoming film, Thank God, which stars Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet Singh.
