Sonam Kapoor and her veeres -- Kareena Kapoor Khan, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania are busy promoting their film these days. The actress is constantly being written about in the media. Of course, because she keeps posting adorable photos of her and husband Aanand Ahuja on social media. But, also because she just can't escape making sensible, powerful and bold statements in her interviews.
During one such interview, Sonam opened up about her experience of Veere Di Wedding and many other things. She talked about the films in her kitty, her ambitions as kids and how is she when she's not the 'actress' Sonam Kapoor. Here are a few interesting statements she made:
On how she landed in the movie business:
Contrary to what people think, I’m not much of an extrovert. I wanted to be in academics and didn’t want to be in the public eye. I feel extremely comfortable in a library or a classroom. So, I could have studied for the rest of my life. But there is another side to me which likes expressing herself through different artistic mediums. I guess I do that through my films, clothes and what I say, in general. That calling got stronger when I was 18, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali gave me an opportunity through Saawariya.
On the best moment from the sets of her film:
My most favourite part was when my father (Anil Kapoor) came on the sets of Neerja and spoke to the cast and crew. We had Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani coming along every two-three days just to pep us. Everybody knew this was a special film. They all spoke so incredibly on why this (project) is important; it motivated us so much. And then on the last day, the last person to come was my dad. We were shooting the climax and it was one of the toughest times for me and everyone else. It just felt amazing that he was there for one of the most important days of the shoot.
On how is Sonam Kapoor like off the screen:
I’m just an ordinary girl who is always positive and likes working hard. It helps to be real about everything—own every line on your face and cherish every pain that you have in your body. It’s important to value those moments and not see them as defeats.
On social media trolls:
At the end of the day, all you need to think is that they are faceless people who have nothing better to do in life. I feel sorry for them. I am not saying it in a patronising tone; I mean it in a genuine way. Can you imagine the insecurities they carry, and the negativity and hate they must be receiving that they just sit and troll others?
On her next films:
A film adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s book, Zoya Factor. It is produced by Aarti Shetty, Pooja Shetty Deora and Fox, and directed by Abhishek Sharma. I am also doing Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, which is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani, and directed by Shelly Chopra Dhar.
