Most of us remember her as Pooja from ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and that unforgettable number ‘Woh Ladki Hai Kahan’ where she sashayed with Saif Ali Khan. But, there’s more to Sonali Kulkarni’s career than just stealing the show from Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna and other ‘DCH’ co-stars. She walked away with hosannas in ‘Mission Kashmir’ too, all while matching dramatic highs with the likes of Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt. And then she’s even held her own with powerhouses like Mammootty in ‘Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar’ and Nana Patekar in ‘Dr Prakash Baba Amte’.

For this week’s #BigInterview, ETimes reached out to Sonali, who takes us through a career of exceptional highs and indelible memories. Excerpts from the freewheeling chat.
