Talking about rumours of her break from Bollywood, Soniya said, "I don't know who decided that I am not a part of Bollywood anymore. I have just shifted base to Dubai. It's a sort of centrepoint to have between London, India and Kenya; I often go to London and Kenya, a part of my childhood was spent in those two countries." Soniya further added, "I was never irritated or despondent with whatever came my way. In fact I was grateful for everything. And I am very keen to work in Bollywood movies in the coming days as well. I gave it my best but unfortunately I didn't get offers which resonated with me. It's very important to get roles that you get excited about. So yeah, I am very much open to working in films of any language. In fact, I have also been in touch with many good filmmakers in India. It's just that I am not possessed that I must invariably get a lot of work and I should grab it for just the heck of being in the rate race. I want to be satisfied as an artiste rather than just as an actor."
During the conversation, Soniya Mehra also revealed that she's engaged with a broker in the real estate named Kunal, who hails from Mumbai but has been living in Dubai for the past 13 years. She said, "Nobody knows this and I am speaking about Kunal for the first time. We have been together for 7 years and even got engaged about a year and half back. I believe in the institution of marriage. It will be taking our relationship to another level. But personally I don't believe that two people who truly love each other need to necessarily marry. Marriage is a very small part of love. It is not necessary that a man and woman who have been married to each other for 7 years are in love more than Kunal and I who still haven't tied the nuptial knot."

Revealing her Dubai connection, Soniya said "Well, it's not that I went out of India only recently. I had initially gone to London for some time. Then I got a very good job as a yoga instructor in Dubai, so I decided to park myself here. Yoga has been a very intrinsic part of me, ever since I used it at the age of 13 to cure myself from lower back pain. Slowly but surely I realised that I can use it further to make people's lives better. I mastered it and I am very passionate about it."
