Sohai Ali Abbro
Sohai Ali Abbro had a powerful cinematic debut as both of her films, Wrong Number and Jawani Phir Nai Ani, were top two hits of the year. In Wrong Number, despite playing the character of the girl next door, she proved herself as a perfect entry to the film industry. She is good at acting and dance and has glamorous screen presence, as she proved in the dance numbers Selfiyaan and Jalwa and a comic role in Jawani Phir Nai Ani (who can forget that “MA MA” of hers).
Sohai has not yet revealed any of her next film projects but she can be found in couple of TV shows currently on-aired these days.
