ʻO ke ahiahi ahiahi ke hiki aku au i ka home o Nafisa Ali Sodhi ma Defence Colony, Delhi, a aia ke kaumaha o ke kauwela. Ua hoʻokuʻu wau iaʻu iho (ʻaʻohe bele puka e hoʻolaha i koʻu hōʻea ʻana) a ʻike iā Ali Sodhi e waiho ana ma ka sofa me kahi puke. ʻIke ʻia ʻo ia me ka ʻoluʻolu a me nā mea āpau e like me kaʻu i manaʻo ai iā ia, he poʻo o ka lauoho hina a me nā laina liʻiliʻi e hana liʻiliʻi ai i kona nani ʻālohilohi. ʻAʻohe mea hoʻonaninani ma kona mau maka, ua nakinaki ʻia kona lauoho i kahi updo maʻamau, a hauʻoli ka lewa holoʻokoʻa a hoʻomaha. ʻAʻole au e hele i ka hale nani. ʻAʻole loa wau i loaʻa i nā maka, nā pedicure, nā manicure… ʻaʻohe mea. Lomilomi wale au i koʻu maka me ka ʻaila ma hope o koʻu ʻauʻau ʻana a ʻo ia nō, wahi a ka uʻi kaʻao, ka mea i lei aliʻi ʻia ʻo Femina Miss India i ka makahiki 1976 a ʻo ia ka lua o ka lua ma Miss International i ka makahiki 1977. Ua paʻa mau wau a me ka haʻuki, akā i kēia manawa. Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka thyroid, ua momona au a ua ʻino wau.
Liki poʻokela
He mamao loa ʻo Ali Sodhi mai ka momona, akā pono kākou e hoʻomanaʻo he kanaka haʻuki hoʻokō ʻo ia, a he ʻokoʻa loa kona kūlana o ke kino. Ua hānau ʻia ma Kolkata i ka lā 18 o Ianuali, 1957, e ka mea paʻi kiʻi kaulana ʻo Ahmed Ali lāua ʻo Philomena Torresan, he kanaka haʻuki koʻikoʻi ʻo ia ma ke kula, a lilo ʻo ia i mea ʻauʻau ma West Bengal i nā makahiki hehiku a he poʻokela ʻauʻau aupuni ma 1974. ʻO Ali Sodhi ʻo ia. He jockey no kekahi manawa ma Calcutta Gymkhana i ka makahiki 1979. Ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi wā kamaliʻi maikaʻi ma Kolkata. Noho mākou ma kahi hale koloni nani ma ke alanui ʻo Jhowtala. Ua aʻo au i ka ʻauʻau i koʻu wā ʻōpiopio. Ua kapa ʻia au he 'pepe wai sizzling' ia mau lā no ka mea e lanakila wau i nā hoʻokūkū ʻauʻau āpau.
Hoku maoli
Me nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi o Ali Sodhi a me nā hoʻokō haʻuki, ua lilo ʻo ia i mea kaulana ma Kolkata ma mua o kona hoʻoholo ʻana e komo i ka hoʻokūkū wahine Miss India. No laila, ʻaʻole ia i manaʻo ʻole ʻia i ka wā i lanakila ai ʻo ia i ka lei aliʻi ma Mumbai i Iune 1976. ʻO ka lanakila ʻo Miss India i paʻa i ke ala no Ali Sodhi e komo ai i Miss International, kahi hoʻokūkū e mālama ʻia ana ma Tokyo. He leʻaleʻa nui. ʻO wau ka lua o ka lua a ua lawe ʻia mākou ma Iapana a puni i nā convertibles kahi a mākou e nalu ai i ka lehulehu. Ma hope o kāna kūleʻa ʻana i ka hoʻokūkū, ua hele mai ʻo Ali Sodhi me Bollywood ma kahi manawa. Ua ʻike ʻo Rishi Kapoor i kāna kiʻi ma ka uhi o ʻO ka Moku'āina Junior , he makasina kaulana o ia manawa, a hoike i kona makuakane ia Raj Kapoor. Pīhoihoi ʻia lāua ʻelua i kona nani kamahaʻo. Ua hāʻawi aku ʻo Raj Kapoor iā ia i kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni e kū pono ana iā Rishi, akā ʻo ka makuakāne ʻo Ali Sodhi, ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu i ka manaʻo o kāna kaikamahine e hana ana i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ua hōʻole ʻo ia.
ʻano aries a me ke ʻano
ʻAʻole naʻe ʻo ia ka hopena o nā moemoeā Bollywood a Ali Sodhi. Ma hope mai, i kona hui ʻana me Shashi Kapoor lāua ʻo Shyam Benegal i ka lā hānau o Raj Kapoor ma Mumbai, ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo ia i ke alakaʻi Junoon . ʻAʻole makemake koʻu makuakāne iaʻu e hana, akā no ka piha ʻana o koʻu makahiki he 21, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia iaʻu e hana i kaʻu hoʻoholo ponoʻī. No laila ua lawe au i ka manawa a neʻe i Bombay. I ka manawa Junoon ke hana ʻia nei, makemake ka mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻo Nasir Hussain e hoʻolei iā Ali Sodhi i kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni e kū pono ana iā Rishi Kapoor. E like me kā ka hope i kākau ai i kāna puke Khullam Khulla (HarperCollins), akā naʻe, ʻaʻole e hoʻokō ʻia kā lākou hui ʻana ma ka pale i kēia manawa: Ma kahi o ka manawa like Junoon , Ke kakau nei o Nasir Hussain i kuikahi nana e hana pu me a'u Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai . Ua pūlima ʻia, hoʻopaʻa ʻia a hāʻawi ʻia, a ua paʻa nā mea a pau i ka wā i hoʻolei hou ai kona makuakāne i kahi kīʻaha i nā hana. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i ʻae i kekahi mau māhele ma ka ʻaelike.
ʻOiai ua ʻae ka ʻōpio ʻo Ali Sodhi i ka diktat o kona makuakāne i kēlā manawa, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke kūkulu i kahi ʻoihana ma nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻo ia kona mihi mau. Minamina wau i ka hoʻolohe ʻana i koʻu makuakāne. ʻAʻole pono wau i hoʻolohe iā ia e pili ana i kaʻu huakaʻi i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni. ʻO ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni he mana, hoʻoulu, a hoihoi… Hiki iā ʻoe ke lilo i mea āu e makemake ai; ʻo ia ka maikaʻi o ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, wahi āna. Ma hope Junoon i ka makahiki 1979, ua hoʻi mai ʻo Ali Sodhi ma hope o ka hoʻomaha ʻana e hana Mekia Saab me Amitabh Bachchan i ka makahiki 1998, Bewafaa i ka makahiki 2005, Life In A... Metro i ka makahiki 2007 a Yamla Pagla Deewana i ka makahiki 2010 me Dharmendra. Ua hana ʻo ia i kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni Malayalam i kapa ʻia Nui B i ka makahiki 2007 me Mammootty.

Junoon He koʻikoʻi nui ko Ali Sodhi i ke ola ma mua o hoʻokahi. ʻO ka mea hoʻokahi, ʻo ia i ka wā o ke kiʻi ʻana o kēia kiʻiʻoniʻoni i hui ai ʻo ia me kāna kāne, mea pāʻani polo a me Arjuna Awardee Colonel RS 'Pickles' Sodhi. Ke kahua kaua ma Junoon ua pana ʻia i loko o ka regiment o kaʻu kāne no laila ua ʻike wau i nā luna āpau. ʻO ia wale nō ka bachelor. I kona hele ʻana mai i Kolkata no ka hōʻikeʻike lio a me ka pāʻani polo, ua ʻike au iā ia. A i koʻu hele ʻana i Delhi no ka Junoon premiere, ua hoʻohiwahiwa ʻo ia iaʻu me nā lio. Ua makemake au i nā lio, no laila ua puni lākou i ke aloha a pau! Hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Ali Sodhi.
ʻAʻole naʻe i maʻalahi ke aloha. Ua hele mai lākou mai nā honua like ʻole, he 14 mau makahiki ma waena o lākou, a ʻo Sodhi he Sikh, ʻo Ali he Muslim. ʻOiai ke kūʻē kūʻē ʻana mai ko lākou ʻohana, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ka male ma Kolkata a ukali ʻia e kahi Sikh ma ka hale o Maharani Gayatri Devi ma Delhi.
Ua komo mau ʻo Ali Sodhi i ka hana kaiaulu, akā ma hope o kona neʻe ʻana i Delhi hiki iā ia ke hoʻomohala piha i kona makemake. Ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia i ka Orissa Cyclone Relief Fund i ka wā i hahau ʻia ai ka mokuʻāina e ka super-cyclone i ka makahiki 1999. Aia ʻo ia ma laila i ka wā i hahau ai ke olai i Bhuj, Gujarat, i ka makahiki 2001. Ua hana nui ʻo ia ma nā kauhale a kōkua i ke kūkulu ʻana i 340 mau hale.
ʻO ka mālama ʻana i nā maʻi maʻi HIV kahi kumu kokoke i ka puʻuwai o Ali Sodhi. I koʻu hoʻomaka ʻana e hana no ka poʻe me ka maʻi HIV/AIDS i ka makahiki 1994, ʻaʻohe kanaka i mālama a hana i kekahi mea e pili ana ia mea. Ua hoʻoholo wau e hana wau i kahi palapala e pili ana i ke kumuhana a hele au i kahi home no nā maʻi HIV ma Delhi no ka noiʻi. ʻO ke kūlana o nā maʻi aʻu i ʻike ai i laila ua hoʻopilikia iaʻu a ʻeha iaʻu i koʻu ʻōpū. No laila, hele au i ke kuhina nui ʻo Sheila Dikshit a haʻi aku iā ia ʻaʻohe oʻu kālā, akā makemake wau e mālama i nā maʻi HIV a makemake wau i kahi e hana ai i kēia. Ua hilinaʻi ʻo ia iaʻu a hāʻawi mai iaʻu i ka hele mua. Ua wehe au i kaʻu home mālama HIV/AIDS i kapa ʻia ʻo Ashraya ma Rajokri Village, Delhi, me Action India, a holo au iā ia no ʻewalu makahiki. Ua holo pū ʻo Ali Sodhi i ka papahana DOTS no ka TB ma laila. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, pono ʻo ia e pani iā ia i ka makahiki 2009 i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ke kālā e maloʻo.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sanjay Grover, ka mea i hana pū me Ali Sodhi mai 1996 ma nā ʻano like ʻole, ʻoiai ua maikaʻi loa ʻo ia i ka hōʻiliʻili kālā a me ka launa pū ʻana me ke aupuni, i ka hopena ua lilo ia i mea paʻakikī loa e hoʻokele i ka home me nā kālā liʻiliʻi. Ua hoʻokomo piha ʻia ʻo ia i ka papahana. Hele ʻo ia i nā wahi kukui ʻulaʻula e nānā i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o ka poʻe maʻi HIV ma laila a hoʻohana iā lākou ma ka home. He pilikia naʻe nā kālā a ua hiki ʻole ke hoʻolimalima i nā kauka no nā uku i hāʻawi ʻia o Rs 15,000 a me nā kahu hānai no Rs 6,000.
holoholona kalaiaina
No Ali Sodhi, ua like ke komo ʻana i loko o ka politika me ka hoʻonui maoli ʻana o kāna hana kaiaulu. ʻAʻohe oʻu ʻike ʻana i ka politika, akā aia ka hakakā i loko oʻu. Ua komo au i ka politika i hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa i kahi paepae nui aʻe a ʻae ʻia e hoʻoholo i nā kulekele. Ua hoʻolaha ʻo ia no ka moho Congress Sheila Dikshit i ka makahiki 1998 no ke koho balota o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Delhi. Ma hope o ka lanakila ʻana o Dikshit, ua hoʻolilo ʻo Sonia Gandhi iā Ali Sodhi i lālā hoʻokō o ke Kōmike ʻaha kūkā o Delhi Pradesh.
I ka wā i loaʻa ai iā Ali Sodhi he 47 makahiki i kahi tiketi Congress no ka hoʻokūkū ʻana i ke koho balota ʻo Lok Sabha i ka makahiki 2004 mai ka ʻāpana koho o South Kolkata, ua lele ʻo ia i loko o ka hakakā, akā ua nalowale. Ua loaʻa hou iā ia kahi manawa e hoʻokūkū ai i kahi koho balota i ka makahiki 2009 i ka manawa i hāʻawi ʻia iā ia he tiketi Samajwadi Party no ka noho pāremata ʻo Lucknow. Akā, ua pio hou ʻo ia.
ʻO ka haʻalele ʻana o Ali Sodhi i ka SP mai ka ʻaha kūkā i hāpai ʻia ma mua o kekahi mau maka. Ma hope o kona lanakila 'ana, ua ho'i 'o ia i ka 'Aha'ōlelo ma Nowemapa 2009. I kēia manawa, 'a'ole 'oihana politika 'o Ali Sodhi, 'oiai e ho'omau 'ia ana 'o ia ma ka 'Aha'ōlelo. ʻAʻole oʻu ʻeleu no ka mea ʻeha wau ʻoiai ua hiki iaʻu ke hana, ʻaʻole i hāʻawi ʻia iaʻu nā manawa. Aloha au iā Mrs (Sonia) Gandhi no ka mea maʻalahi ke hana pū me ia. He mea ʻokoʻa nō naʻe ke kau ʻana o kēia wā. Pono ka Congress i kēia lā e hōʻoia i ka poʻe i ko lākou pili. He pāʻina pili loa ia akā ʻāpala nā mea a pau a lākou e hana ai.
luna 10 lauoho ulu aila
ʻOiai ua lawe ka politika i ka noho hope ma ke ola o Ali Sodhi, ua mamao loa ʻo ia mai ka hana ʻole a hoʻohana i kona hoʻomaha hoʻomaha e hoʻolimalima manawa me nā keiki a kāna kaikamahine mua ʻo Armana, hoʻonohonoho i ka male ʻana o kāna kaikamahine ʻo Pia a kōkua i kāna keiki ʻo Ajit e loaʻa kahi paʻa ma Bollywood. I ka ʻike ʻana i ke ahi, akā naʻe, ʻaʻole mākou e kāhāhā inā ʻaʻole koke ʻo ia e pohā mai ka ʻaoʻao hema a hoʻopuʻu hou iā mākou.
