After the well-acclaimed biopic on slain flight attendant Neerja Bhanot, actress Sonam Kapoor, a self-confessed feminist, will soon be seen playing yet another strong female character on the big screen. When asked about her upcoming project, Sonam said, “I will announce something soon. I can't talk about it. Talking to the paparazzi on the sidelines of the Women of Worth Awards, Sonam said she would like to play historic female heroes.
“There are a lot of Indian women who have been modern heroes who have helped in building a better India. There are lot of Indian women in the history you look at like Mother Teresa, Sarojini Naidu, Lata Mangeshkar and others. There are women who got lost in the page of history like Neerja Bhanot. There is a wider variety of women that we are looking at and the more innovative things that they are doing which are cultural and scientific breakthroughs and artistic as well,” she said.
L'Oreal Paris hosted the fifth edition of the awards that honoured the achievements of eight exceptional women who have made a difference in the lives of others. L'Oreal ambassadors Sonam, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Katrina Kaif were present to give away the awards.
