‘I’m not greedy’: Sonam Kapoor
The
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag star says, “My parents are blissfully married. My
father treats all three of us siblings without any distinction. We two
sisters and our brother have been allowed to follow our dreams.”
The actor who had to shed quite a few kilos to get to her current runway figure says, “During my childhood no one would talk about me looking beautiful. I was overweight till I was 17-18.”
But she had filmy aspirations then too. “I wanted to direct films. At that time Bajirao happened and I was on the directorial roll. But the film did not take off. Thereafter, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali engaged me for Black. I must thank Rani Mukherjee for making me realise that I could also be an actor. It was then that I started making efforts to train my voice, walk and practice expressions,” says Sonam.
About her role in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag she says, “I opted for this because of Prasoon Joshi and Rakesh Ompraksah Mehra. They have been my pillars; supported me from the beginning of my career. Also, this film is definitely going to go down in history. I would prefer to be a part of such films. I have a pivotal but a small role in the film. However, I hate using the word special appearance.”
“For me, it’s important to do films which I feel are real and make me look real. I would like to be associated with a film which makes an extraordinary mark, with an unusual script, rather than a commercial movie which may bring Rs 100 crore at the box office. I have done this film for free. Not that money does not keep me going… but I am not greedy,” she points out.
