Actress Sonam Kapoor is known to be quite the fashionista. Daughter of actor Anil Kapoor, she comes from one of the biggest Bollywood families. The actress has, however, faced her share of ups and downs in the past. During a Clubhouse session to celebrate 11 years of her film ‘Aisha’, Sonam’s sister Rhea Kapoor recalled a snarky comment made by a filmmaker at a party once.
The movie featured Sonam as a wealthy girl in love with fashion and haute couture, with a tendency to meddle in her friends’ love lives. The movie marked Rhea’s debut as a producer. Reminiscing about an incident that occurred shortly after the release of ‘Aisha’, Rhea said, “There was a time when people laughed and mocked us after the film’s release. I remember this incident, where we were at a party, and an emerging director then, who is well established now, looked at Sonam’s outfit and said, "Where is Sonam Kapoor going in this outfit?”
The movie has faced a lot of criticism, including from actor Abhay Deol who was cast opposite Sonam. He said in 2010, “The movie had nothing to do with Jane Austen’s ‘Emma’ as it was reported. When I was shooting, I realized that the film was more about clothes than actual acting. I even read reviews of the movie that praised the clothes. I would like to say today that I will never ever be part of a film like ‘Aisha’ in my lifetime. It’s not the kind of film I’d like to do.”
On the work front, Sonam will be next seen in ‘Blind’, a remake of a 2011 South Korean thriller.
