On this special day marking 7 years since her debut, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/topics\/mrunal-thakur\/\">Mrunal Thakur<\/a> shared a series of pictures from the sets of the movie and penned a long note to express her gratitude.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">While getting emotional, Mrunal wrote, \u201c7 years ago, life surprised me with the most unexpected gift: Love Sonia. I was just a small-town girl with big dreams in her heart, and somehow, out of thousands, Sonia chose me. That film wasn\u2019t just my debut\u2026 it was my first step into a world where cinema could change lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cI still remember the nervous excitement of being on set, surrounded by legends Demi Moore, Freida Pinto, Richa Chadha, Manoj Bajpayee, Rajkummar Rao, Riya Sisodiya, Saie Tamhankar, Mark Duplass\u2026 each one teaching me something new every single day. I felt like the tiniest fish in a vast ocean, but their kindness made me feel like I belonged,&#8221; she added while sharing her nervous excitement of being on set.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">While talking about the caption of the ship, Tabrez Noorani, Mrunal stated, \u201cHe once told me, \u2018No matter what happens commercially, we must be proud of the lives this film saves.\u2019 Those words are etched in my heart forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">\u201cA huge thank you also to David Womack and to Ruchira Gupta and the real superheroes fighting every day against trafficking; they are the true inspiration. The most beautiful part is that Love Sonia went beyond the screen. It sparked change, inspired NGOs, and saved lives. Even today, people still reach out after watching it, and my heart fills with gratitude,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Finally, while crediting her success to Love Sonia, the actress added, \u201cI owe everything to this film. Sonia gave me courage, gave me a voice, and gave me a family in cinema. Thank you to everyone who made this journey possible. Here\u2019s to carrying Sonia in my soul and to many more stories that heal, inspire, and make a difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><strong>About Love Sonia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Love Sonia is about a girl named Sonia whose life changes completely after she runs away from home when she discovers that her debt-ridden father has sold her sister for money.
