She will star as a blind girl in the Hindi remake of the 2011 Korean film Blind.The entire plot,about an ex-cop who goes blind in an accident that happens while she hunts down a criminal and how she chases him down in spite her physical disability, centres around Sonam’s character. Sonam who was last seen in The Zoya Factor is all set to take centrestage with a new project. But she calls her first director Sanjay Leela Bhansali on his birthday and whenever he is in distress.ĥ. She is no longer in touch with Ranbir Kapoor. Sonam Kapoor’s best friend is her husband Anand Ahuja.Her friends in the industry are Jacqueline Fernandez and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Or Marilyn Monroe…great actress, great comedian, not taken seriously because of her good looks.”Ĥ. The fabulous Lucille Balle was never taken seriously because she did comic roles. Luckily me for me there are filmmakers like Rakeysh Mehra and Aanand Rai who can look beyond my looks and who believe in my talent.There is this belief in the cinema industry the worldover that good-looking people cannot act.Well, if that was true we’d have never had a Waheeda Rehman. Madhubala wasn’t taken seriously for the longest time because of her incandescent looks.She was amazing at comedy which for a female actor is a very difficult genre to do. In Hindi cinema if you don’t wear cotton sarees in every scene you haven’t given a good performance.And if you like to your best you are not a good actor.Actually it’s the way the world works. But when you come from certain background, or look a certain way or wear nice clothes people under-estimate you. The question which everyone wanted answered was, how did Sonam learn to act? Sonam answered the question in an interview with me. Playing the airborne martyr who perished while saving passengers from a hostage situation , Sonam was the portrait of vulnerability and strength. The turning point for Sonam was Ram Madhvani’s Neerja, which to this remains her best work. So when we went to Siddhi-Vinayak and saw a crowd there I told him it was all his fault.”ģ. But honestly I didn’t expect this kind of a response. I’ve come to this industry with my eyes open, and I can’t shy away from being answerable. So I realize I do have a responsibility towards the public. I’ve had 14-15 year olds asking me for autograph. When you become an actor you become a public figure. I guess I’ve to get used to being asked strange questions. But why me? Some of the questions specially about my friendship with Ranbir were too funny to be embarrassing. But the premiere was the most important day of my life. I thought Sanjay Sir (Bhansali) and Ranbir being who they are would naturally attract attention. This is my wedding.’ I don’t know when I’m going to get married. My best friend Navneet came down from Kuwait for the premiere. In her first interview with me on the eve of Saawariya Sonam said, “It’s more exciting than scary. The director’s sister and the heroine’s father had to intervene. This happened in Karjat on the outskirts of Mumbai when the film was midway into its shooting.A huge showdown occurred and Bhansali said he’s shelving the film. Sonam was nearly sacked from Saawariya for not getting it right. When roots run deep you can’t cut down a tree easily.Ģ. If I had become a successful actress after Saawariya I’d have got a swollen head.I worked hard to establish myself. Sonam has said, “It was a journey I had to go through. But only after losing 40 kilos. The film flopped. But then the temptation to cast Rishi Kapoor’s son and Anil Kapoor’s daughter hit Bhansali.Sonam got the role. Initially she was not cast with Ranbir in Saawariya. Sonam Kapoor was an assistant to Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the sets of Black.
