Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor is known for speaking her mind. The actress has never shied away from being honest about how she feels. Recently, in an interview with a leading entertainment media portal, Sonam revealed why she doesn’t like being called a fashionista and how A-list heroes supporting a woman-centric production is the need of the hour.
When asked how she feels about being called a trendsetter and a fashionista, the actress replied, "(Laughs) Yes, I don’t like that term. I feel it’s more important to be stylish than to be a fashionista. I find that term a little arbid as it doesn’t make sense. To have a sense of style is completely different from following fashion blindly. That's the difference. As soon as you are authentic and an individual, you don't need to project an image. I am just being myself, which is why it's easy. Everybody curses me for dressing up (laughs). I always tell them that if they want to do it or not, it's up to them."
Asked what her take is on this whole revolution of airport looks and gym looks that have taken over social media today, the actress stated, "I just do what I feel like doing. It’s important to be original and authentic. I have never aspired to get a look and I’ve always been like this. You can see at any time, any point, I will be dressed the way I want to be dressed like. It’s never going to be for other people but for myself."
When asked if it's important to have a good equation with her co-stars, she said, "It's important for you to get along with any co-star, regardless of it being a man or woman. It's all about the chemistry and being on the right page with your co-star. After all, acting is all about reacting. Sometimes to improvise, you need to understand each other. If you don't, then it's extremely difficult because you need to be a fantastic actor to pretend to like somebody. I can't. And fortunately, the 'Veere' cast loves each other, so it hasn’t been an issue at all. Otherwise, it would have been a huge disaster."
In reference to her cameo in the Sanjay Dutt biopic, the actress said, "Screen time makes no difference to me, as long as I have something to do in that much time. I won't play just a hot girl in a song. I won't be doing such a role because it will be a waste of my time. But if I'm playing a Biro or Bittu, I would rather do that because there's an arc to the character and it makes a difference to the story. It's not about the screen time but what you do in that screen time. I'd rather do that than three songs and two scenes in a film." Stay tuned for more updates.
