It's not unheard of that actresses and actors turn to direction after a good amount of years spent as an entertainer. And one such actress with dreams to do so is Sonam Kapoor. The actress isn't just a leading lady in B-Town but a fashionista to never let out of your sight and now she opens up about wanting to direct a film someday.
“I do want to direct, but fortunately, I keep getting a lot of work. I have four releases this year. Whenever I do get time to breathe, I will start working on the subject,” she said. She added, “Currently, it’s difficult to give up such good work and take a decision. I would need to take a year off. So it’s a huge sacrifice, and I love acting; it’s my passion. I would love to work with Alia (Bhatt), Swara (Bhasker) and Bebo (Kareena Kapoor Khan).”
In the meanwhile, Sonam is awaiting the release of her next, 'PadMan' where she stars alongside superstar Akshay Kumar. The actress, who also received a National Award for her performance in 'Neerja', admits that while awards and rewards are great, they’re just the cherry on the cake. “Your work should fulfill you,” she explained. “The award is a certificate or medal on the wall. Every morning, when I wake up, I’m happy going to work. One should be fulfilled with that,” she added.
