(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Sonam gets candid with dad anil kapoor on the latest episode of koffee with karan
Karan: does it bother you when you are not labelled as one of the lead actors performance wise... you walk tall like one but does it bother you when they talk about other actors more in the acting department?
Sonam : well you know the thing about the industry is they think if you are not good looking they think you are a good actor. it’s true!
Anil: i’ll tell you karan you will be shocked for dilip kumar they used to say that for madhuri dixit they used to say that usko acting nahi aati yaar (she doesn’t know how to act) for the first 3-4 films you should read the reviews your friend khalid mohammad have written i am sure he must be watching the show..
Sonam: khalid uncle is like one of my godfathers ok so we should not say and fortunately for me the reason i have survived in the industry is because of the critics because i don’t get bad reviews whether it’s a rajeev masand or a raja sen or a taran adarsh or a komal nahata; they have always praised my performance.
Karan: i don’t think i am respected by the director’s fraternity. they think i am this talk show host who is all over the place has this glamorous kind of film making..
Sonam: this is what i am saying. people make so called art films why do you have to take like not nice looking people like why? doesn’t make sense and just that they don’t look good does not mean they are good actors.. that’s why i have so much respect for raju hirani or aditya chopra or you or whatever because 10 years down the line i would want to watch a kuch kuch hota hai again. i want to go down into posterity…you know what i mean? i am considered an icon at the age of 20 when people like after 40s or after they die are considered icons. it’s just amazing!
Karan: she has just called herself an icon!
Anil: we don’t say (that) people are saying.
Karan: so currently apparently there is some boyfriend is that not true?
Sonam: no boyfriends!! i am very single.
Karan: she has no boyfriends? (asking anil)
Anil: she has friends. i have trained her..kuch bhi ho bolo (whatever happens say) friends! just friends..
Karan: this is your training?
Anil: yeah my training!
Sonam: honestly till i don’t decide i want to be with someone for the rest of my life i don’t want to talk about it. i don’t want to commit anything to the media because eventually 10 years down the line when i have kids i don’t want them to look back in the papers.. because what is in the paper never goes away!
Catch koffee with karan with sonam and anil tomorrow at 7:30pm on star plus
