Until she founded a non-governmental organisation (NGO), Global Peace Authority, headquartered in New Delhi in 2022, she funded various social services through the commission she received from selling insurance and the remuneration she received as an actress or for appearing in public functions.
In August 2024, after the release of the Justice Hema Committee Report which studied the sexual harassment and gender inequality issues in the Malayalam film industry, Sonia Malhar revealed her harassment experience that happened in 2013 involving a young actor at a film shooting in Thodupuzha, Kerala.
She was unwilling to reveal the actor’s name for the sake of the person’s family.
