The glam diva who made us groove to popular Bollywood classic recreations like Ek Pardesi and Mera Babu Chain Chabeela, Sophie Choudry is not just an actor, singer and VJ but also an BIZ Experiences with a detox tea brand Fitox.

While her absolutely chic and super stylish appearances are always the talk of the town, she, on the other hand, is an unread book. Known for her diva persona, in reality, she is a complete geek nerd girl who wakes up early, sleeps early.

BIZ Experiencesship runs in her blood and her parents were among the first to start ghee factories in the UK and Europe back in the 70s which was hugely exported globally.

However, the filmy worm in her brought her to India and some years later she partnered with a detox tea which goes right with her ethos of fitness and lifestyle. BIZ Experiences India got in an exclusive conversation where we got to know the real Sophie.
