Sonam Kapoor, in another interview to Mumbai Mirror
IT'S NOT ME, IT'S MY DAD
Sonam Kapoor spills the beans on the rapprochement with Abhay Deol, says she has always been in touch with him
On Saturday, Mumbai Mirror reported how Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol were all set to work together yet again in Rajkumar Santoshi's next. And while, many thought that this was a big step for the young actors since their fallout after the release of Aisha, Sonam herself revealed that it wasn't her but her father who was upset with Abhay's unsavoury remarks about him. In fact, Sonam told Mumbai Mirror that she always thought Abhay was 'the most talented actor' and that they had stayed in touch even when 'he was in Spain shooting for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'.
"He said something weird about my dad. I didn't like it. But to be honest, it's between my dad and Abhay," said the same actress who had earlier expressed her shock over Abhay's comments about Anil Kapoor.
The actress who clearly stays separate from her father's affairs also stated that being a star kid has not really helped her in her career. "My dad is crazy. He thinks I am headstrong. But I always have this thing...I have to do everything on my own," she added.
But when it comes to dressing (and that is one thing she does really well), Sonam is totally dependent on her sister Rhea. "My Players look is completely Rhea. I gave her a brief that I want to look sexy but not 'nanga'. I am all covered up in the film and yet I look sexy. The entire credit goes to Rhea," said the actress.
While her style quotient has remained a constant, the roles she has played have been extremely diverse. From intense drama in her debut Saawariya to a rom-com I Hate Luv Storys and now the action packed Players, was the choice intentional? "No one has ever asked me this before," said a surprised Sonam and added, "I love the fact that directors feel I can do everything. I'm glad to get all kind of roles. I get to wear Indian clothes as well as western. It's exhilarating. I have multiple personality so I can play multiple genres. And though I am not very intelligent, there is a little bit of thought that goes behind my choice of films."

How cum no one is criticizing or ridiculing Anil for the less than 2 min appearance in Mission Impossible? When Aishwarya did Pink Panther, even before the film released people criticized and ridiculed her for her apparent blink and you miss role, when actually it turns out, she was the main villain of the movie. Double standards.
^^ So true. Ash is the soft target for many.
Anil Kapoor must be living in fantasy land if he thinks people are jealous of his daughter

The whole world knows of Tom Cruise , who knows of Anil other than indians and pakis?
Sonam Kapoor refused ben Stiller and Julia Roberts? You mean Julia Roberts and Ben Stiller REFUSED Sonam! Ha!
Anil has his head up his ass , think hes too good for bollywood and now when he get kicked out of hollywood , he will come back crying to bollywood.
aishwarya rai hotter than sonam why would girls be jealous of her and her lame style?
Tom Cruise came to India to protmote the movie, not cause he said yes to you. Part of the movies takes place in india.
Ben Stiller and Julia Roberts? NO they did not Anil! You are lying! Aishwarya Rai is more known amongst the Hollywood crowd not your Sonam Kapoor.
I think it's lame how Bollywood actors always search for approval from Hollywood. Just because a few Hollywood actors know you exist, it doesn't mean anything. Anil, untill you have the success of Freida Pinto, you should come down back to Earth. As you have said, real stars are modest, learn from that.
And about Sonam. Let's be honest, without daddy, she would have never made it in Bollywood.
There are so many pretty and talented girls who are not given a chance cos of women like Sonam who are really nothing special and would be invisible in the crowd if not for their rich powerful families.
.
Umm Freida Pinto is a terrible actress and most people in the US have never heard of her, most of her feedback for her acting has come back negative and she too has a big head like Anil Kapoor. Both has eay roles in SDM and they are overrated. She was not in some of the trailers for Apes and Immortals , so it goes to show that even she is not really given important roles in movies. As for his kid , she nothing special. Who would be jealous of her? Most women envy Aishwarya Rai not Sonam Kapoor. Hes playing the role of an idiot indian villan , yes that something to be prud of Anil.

ahahaahah jealous of sonam lol
does anyone find Abhay Deol's behavior more arrogant than those two????
is this the twilight zone?
Anil Kapoor has always been known to create a comical figure and say really arrogant-funny statements. take it in a joking manner. but what's up with Abhay????
this is laughable.. now Abhay Deol is having a ego. it's bad enough with star kids.. but cousin-star kids have egos too. Look, Anil Kapoor deliberately creates a 'joker humble image', but everyone who's worked with Mr. Kapoor knows he's one of hte hardest working in the industry. now newbies are starting fights with him too?
errrrrr.... where are the self-made Manya's who had talent from the start... or the Bhaghashree s.. who had humlity from the start.

She was probably offered small roles in Hollywood but unlike her father she didn't want to reduce herself to side roles. And why would she ? It is much too early in her career ! He's said nothing wrong ! Young actresses have been compelled to up their game in fashion because of SONAM. Who put brand labels on the radar ? Why do the you younger crop of Sonakshi and Anushka take caution with thier western wear ? Even Priyanka's taken a que ! Anil Kapoor is not a stupid man. He's proud. He did rise from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest actors of his generation ! He's a phenomenal actor, which young people seem to forget -_-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I totally agree with you! and if people want to get into hollywood you have to start with small roles in movies before making it big and I think anil kapoor understands that and he is making lots of efforts in that way. but people just seem to hate on him for loving his success. being proud isnt a bad thing. anybody in his position would be just as proud. Haters suck!!
Anyway...I love both Sonam and Abhay...looking forward to seeing them together again...they ROCK with their chemistry and the haters can go take a hike. I see lots of ppl jealous about this lovely development....whatever...
LOL to the guy/girl who is asking Abhay kaun? Well, he is someone who's achieved whatever he has ON HIS OWN. I think the better question is Anil or Sonam kaun? hahahahhaha...and well to the special one who asked this question...IT IS SONAM WHO RUNNING AFTER TO WORK WITH HIM....Abhay was more than happy to get rid of her...he doesn't need her...but Sonam who's struggling with hits...is obviously looking for more and more ppl who are ready to work with her ROTFL.

HE ACTS LIKE HE IS THE EXCLUSIVE AGENT OF BOLLYWOOD !!!
AND SONAM REFUSED HOLLYWOOD MOVIES FOR WHAT PLAYERS !!!! AS YOU WANT MR BIG THING
I CAN IMAGINE HIM DANCE AND SING : I GOT THE POWER !!
star system is outdated? LOL! please!
OMG can't believe these wrds r frm Anil!! Sonam is very lucky she has her family bg support, if not being Anil's daughter she wud have long gone frm Bollywood.
Since Slumdog Millionaire Anil thinks he is better than everyone became very arrogant.
lols...i wonder who imitates sonam kapoor's fashion style...
the father and daughter are equally distasteful...but i cud put my money on the fact that anil kapoor will convert to scientology within the next few years.
lol.......it is normal that her father is on her side but ....i really love sonam but she only can be fashion icon in india ..if she comes to italy or france you only can consider her ordinary so forget being icon ....fashion icon is so big for her ......fashion icon is someone who is uniqe in every field and someone who made somthing different by herself .....which type of make up she has created herself or which hair color or hair style she has made popular?.................people should understand fashion icon is different with wearing brands .....in this way you can call everybody fashion icon in streets of italy .........but she is cute and i like the fact she wears brands .......
Do you really think so Anilji???
Whats to be jealous of?.....she's below average and she doesnt have good style sense, just enough money to afford big labels...still she doesnt put them together well....who really needs big labels all the time when u can look better than her in high street clothes??
It has to be ash, as she looks Sonam aunti when u put them together at international level
Only ashs fans will do that. They hate all the sucessfull, beautuiful talented actress.
sonam is just famous for her branded clothes.she has no talent at all. today whatever she is that all bcoz of her dad. she can never be like aishwarya or priyanka who are self made.
