Soni says that the acceleration in an object could be zero even when several forces are acting on it. Do you agree with her? Why?

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Acceleration is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction. It is also the second derivative of position with respect to time or it is the first derivative of velocity with respect to time.

If there are many force acting on the object but the net force is zero, then acceleration will be zero.

We know that

F = m × a

If F = 0

then

a = 0

Acceleration in associate object might be zero even once many forces are working on it. This happens once all the forces get rid of one another i.e., the online force working on the thing is zero. For a uniformly moving object, the online force working on the thing is zero. Hence, the acceleration of the thing is zero. Hence, Soni is correct.
