It has been an eventful year for Sonam Kapoor. She has acted in multi-starrers, been directed by seasoned actor Pankaj Kapur in Mausam, wowed everyone in Cannes and most importantly, according to her, has been called “beautiful” by her childhood crush Tom Cruise.
We caught up with the actress and spoke about the year that was, beginning with the recent rumour of her getting Hollywood offers. It is rumoured that she had been offered a role opposite Julia Roberts, which she apparently turned down. Sonam, however, is not very forthcoming when asked about it. “I am not doing a film with Julia Roberts. And when I say ‘no’ to a film, I do not like to talk about it.”
Point noted, and we move to the next item on our list: the famous meeting with international star Frieda Pinto at the Chanel fashion show in Paris. And the actress becomes animated as she begins talking about the famous Malad girl. “Meeting Freida was a pleasure. She is a down-to-earth person and really short, so I had to literally look down to talk to her. But then as a person, Frieda is a true Indian. She has no airs about being a Hollywood star. No wonder we bonded so well. She is an extremely intelligent person too, who knows her way around.
