Pinki Sonkar, who is now 21 years old, appeared in a film titled "Smile Pinki" which was released in 2008. Unexpectedly, the film won the Best Short Documentary category at the Academy Awards the following year. The film tells the story of Pinki, who was five years old at the time, and her friend Ghutaru.

Thanks to appearing in an Oscar-winning film, Pinki got the opportunity to visit the United States and meet Hollywood actors and actresses. Not only that, in 2013, he tossed a coin for the men's singles final at Wimbledon. That was Pinki's last moment of enjoying his fame. He described it as "the last honor I could have in my life."

However, for 15 years afterwards, Pinki called her life full of false promises, poverty, and difficulties. In fact, upon returning from mingling with Hollywood stars, Pinki and her father, Rejendra, were given a piece of land as a gift by district officials. Meanwhile, local politicians made false promises to build hospitals, community centers, and proper roads.

Thanks to her film, Pinki attended the biggest entertainment event in the world in 2009, which was filled with what she called 'the best moments of my life'. Pinki felt at that moment as if she were in a fairy tale story that had become real life.

"Taking a plane, traveling to Los Angeles, wearing expensive clothes, staying in a luxurious hotel," he exclaimed. Pinki even enjoyed various foods that she and her father never imagined. "It's like a Cinderella story, a bedtime story for children," he said."
