Unlike many influencer parents who appear in videos or brand deals, Sona’s father has remained intentionally out of the public eye. In a 2021 interview, Sona explained that her father prefers to stay behind the scenes, focusing on his work and family without media attention.
As of this writing, Sona Rafiq’s father is semi-retired. He spends his mornings gardening and his afternoons helping Sona’s younger cousin learn CAD (computer-aided design) software—a skill that bridges his old world of machining with the new world of digital fabrication. He still visits his old workshop every Thursday to have tea with the young machinist who bought his equipment. sona rafiq father work
