Sophia Haque rose to fame as a VJ/host on pop-music channels broadcast
by India in the 1990s (via satellite). Her amiable personality and
attractive appearance made her a favorite with many viewers, and led to
her being offered bit parts in Indian films. A lead role in the
low-budget comedy film 'Snip!' followed, but unfortunately the film did
not succeed at the box office. Sophia has done some modeling also, and
looks set to continue her small appearances in films.
Around Christmas 2012, Haque was diagnosed with cancer. She developed a lung clot and pneumonia and in the early hours of 17 January 2013, she died in her sleep in a London hospital, while undergoing tests.
Haque lived in London with music director David White.
