Sonam Kapoor Candid Interview and Latest Photos

Sonam Kapoor Interview. Sonam Kapoor Latest Pictures. Blessed with a classic yet modern Indian face, the surreal beauty describes herself as "a young, happy-golucky, well-read working girl, who likes to work hard and have fun meeting people."

Sonam Kapoor makes no bones about the fact that she is a feminist, "I believe in standing up for my rights. I have been brought up in a very modern environment and treated equally by my father."

Sonam Kapoor claims to have been treated as an equal, it is surprising that unlike her male counterparts (read star sons) Sonam Kapoor was not launched within the home production with fanfare as is the norm in Bollywood for star-daughters.

Sonam Kapoor believes in embracing her fear. She goes up and down the elevator of the 38-storeyed hotel building during her stay abroad till she controls fright totally. "I am claustrophobic about lifts. It is really scary when you see them crashing down in movies. But fear exists only in the mind," reasons Sonam Kapoor, whose infectious laughter rings for long in your ears.

Having found a foothold in the industry, Sonam Kapoor is finally doing the film Aisha for her father Anil Kapoor's production. But she’s quick to point out, "My father is not making a movie for me, he is making the movie because he believes in the script. If he had to do a film for me, he would have launched me four years ago. "

That’s Sonam Kapoor, an instinctive performer, who has no qualms in accepting, "I am no underdog. I am Anil Kapoor’s daughter. I was born with a silver spoon."

Says the girl with a rebellious streak, "We discuss movies and acting, but ultimately the decision is mine. My dad doesn’t want me to blame him for my choices."

Both Sonam Kapoor films, Saawariya and Delhi 6, failed to make an impression at the box-office whereas two of her contemporaries, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, figure in the A-list. At this, Sonam digs into the cup full of corn, and shakes her head vigorously in disagreement. "I think I’m fairly successful at my age. Instant success is always palpable whereas mine is a lot of hard work. I have been recognised for my acting more than anything else, not as a fashion icon or a hit film girl. I don’t wish to be arm candy," Sonam Kapoor says.

Aisha is close to my heart because I play the main protagonist, Emma, and I had a beautiful time discovering who she is. In I Hate Luv Storys, I play a character similar to who I am," explains the actor.

And what about the real life love story? "I’m very romantic and my favourite is the American movie, Love Story. But, unfortunately, I’m not seeing anyone. It may sound clichéd, but there is actually no time," Sonam giggles.

The peppy actor, Sonam Kapoor, known as a ‘passionate fashionista’ believes she would be acting all her life. "It’s a wrong stand to take that I’m going to be acting only for 10 years because the top actresses last that long. If you are truly an actor, then you should say that ‘I hope I can act for the rest of my life and maybe I won’t be a leading heroine, but I will do some good, meaty, beautiful, amazing roles’. Look at Kajol post-motherhood, Meryl Streep, Audrey Hepburn," says Sonam.

Beginning of the end of Katrina - Salman relationship ?

Did Katrina - Salman break up. Katrina Kaif is giving clear indiations by giving super friendly out of the way hugs to SRK. There have been link ups with Ranbir which now cannot be overruled.

Katrina Kaif even denied any romantic angle with handsome Kapoor boy Ranbir Kapoor, with whom she had worked in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani’. Katrina’s point was clear that Ranbir Kapoor was a colleague and good co-star with whom she enjoyed good chemistry. It may be recalled that it was due to this crackling chemistry between Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor that Deepika Padukone had ditched him, suspecting that there was something more than met the eye.

Pictures do not lie - Ranbir and Katrina amazing chemistry !

Bollywood hero Salman Khan has been very unlucky in love, as many of his girlfriends have left him for other stars. And he should now be worried about his current girlfriend Katrina Kaif… for she has been seen partying at a club with hot new bod Ranbir Kapoor.

Ranbir and Katrina were seen at a club a few days ago, sitting together through the night immersed in chit-chat till 2.30 am. This was the first time that Katrina has attended a nightclub without Salman Khan since the two have been an item. And this is not the first time Ranbir and Katrina have met each other. Rumors are that the two have met previous to this on two occasions.

No matter what happens, and no matter how much Salman trusts Katrina, he should still be a little concerned. After, all Katrina is much much younger than him and Ranbir is more her age.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Katrina Kaif's birthday bash turned into a battle of superiority when the two Khans got into a brawl. The host of the party, Salman Khan who was already quite drunk when the SRK made his appearance with wife Gauri jeered at the latter's lower TRP in the Kya aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? as compared to his Dus Ka Dum. A mature Shah Rukh initially let light of the matter but when the assaults became more caustic, he retaliated with comments on Salman's past relationship with Aishwarya Rai.

Happier times : salman - Katrina

It is concluded that what irked Salman was Shah Rukh's refusal to do a cameo in the Khan brothers' film Main Aur Mrs. Khanna whereas the former had made a guest appearance in Om Shanti Om. Gauri Khan did end the skirmish by dragging her husband away, but the spat has caused a split in the industry with many people showing their undivided loyalties to the two stars. Most directors sided with the SRK while Salman had the support of his old time friends. Last heard, Kat is upset with Salman not apologising to SRK, and apparently, she is not in talking terms with Sallu miyan.

What's Katrina's Excuse ?

Katrina Kaif, the sizzling hot bollywood babe with superb track record of super hit flicks like ‘Singh Is Kingg’, ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani’, etc, at the box office, has denied any growing proximity with King Shah Rukh Khan terming her interactions to be just a formal one suitable with a senior colleague.

Dost Dost na raha - SRK and Pyar Pyar Na Raha - Katrina

In fact, Katrina Kaif, who is known to be Salman Khan’s girlfriend in the industry, went on to clarify that she met Shah Rukh Khan only at filmi parties or some social functions and nowhere else, and so no ulterior motive should be ascribed to her innocuous meetings. Recently, Katrina Kaif was seen with Shah Rukh Khan at a function while Salman Khan had been busy with his shooting for upcoming flick ‘Dabanng’ in Wai. This had the tongues wagging in the B-town that Katrina Kaif was trying to join Shah Rukh Khan camp and distancing herself from Salman and company to further her career in bollywood.

The speculation was further fuelled by the fact that Katrina Kaif always refused to express her commitment to Salman Khan in public, while Sallubhai had gone on record claiming Kat to be his girlfriend. Katrina has always maintained that she would not say anything (and that include relationship with Salman) on her personal life in public.

Katrina Kaif has been flavor of bollywood for quite some time now and even managed to bag Farah Khan’s latest project ‘Tees Maar Khan’ opposite Akshay Kumar. Her bollywood career is likely to get further boost with filmmakers vying with each other to sign her for upcoming ‘Dostana 2’ and other prestigious projects. In fact, some producers in bollywood consider Katrina Kaif as lucky mascot for their films and want to have her at all cost.
