Hours before her sudden demise, Sonali Phogat had posted some pictures and videos of herself on Instagram. In the images, she was seen flaunting her pink dupatta.
In 2016, Sonali Phogat made her acting debut with the television show 'Amma: Ek Maa Jo Laakhon Ke Liye Bani Amma'. She was also a part of the web series, 'The Story Of Badmashgarh' in 2019. She had rose to fame with her videos on TikTok that had a huge following.
Sonali Phogat was born and brought up in a middle-class family in Bhuthan village in Haryana's Fatehabad. Snoali, who acted in a few Haryanvi movies, worked with actors like Jimmy Shergill and Ravi Kishan. Soon after making an entry on 'Bigg Boss 14', she had confessed that she had developed feelings for co-contestant Aly Goni, despite knowing that he is in love with Jasmin Bhasin. Jasmin was voted out of the show the same day as Sonali made her entry.
