Apparently she was rescued by non other than Salman Khan when Saawariya team was supposed to ask the cricketers some questions Sonam jokingly asked Yuvraj Singh, who he was going out with that night. Yuvraj countered by asking her if she was free for the night. Sonam was stunned, as she was not expecting something as suggestive as a counter to her question. Fortunately Salman Khan who was also present at the function stepped in. Rushing in to rescue the distressed damsel, he grabbed the mike and said that the cricketer was going out with him that night. That sent everyone laughing and Sonam was spared the blushes. Such is the aroma around this beautiful, stunning beauty called Sonam Kapoor. We tried to catch up with the star and asked about all the hype that’s going around her and her first film.
Ranbir Kapoor says that he loves Ranvir
Raj, his Saawariya character, because he’s so much like him. How close do you feel to your character?
Oh no, Sakina is nothing like me and that’s why I love her. I became an actress, so I could play someone who’s not like me at all. I’m a true Gemini.
You’re being compared to the yesteryear heroines..as well as Rekha and Aishwarya
Rai.
Noooo. Really? I haven’t heard about such comparisons at all. It’s scary!
So what have you heard?
Well, there have been the responses to the promos. My friends and family love the way Ranbir dances. They rave about how Mr Bhansali has made everything look so beautiful. They’re going ballistic over the songs and yes, Salman Khan. (Laughs) I zone out when they start discussing me
What kind of a world is it where you have both gondolas and autorickshaws? Neverland?
Yes, Never land. Saawariya is like a fairy tale.
Okay, so did Sanjay Leela Bhansali ever lose his temper at you?
(Laughs) Come on well he did lose his temper on occasion. Whenever I didn’t want him to get mad at me, the tears would just flow. Seeing me cry would upset him so much that he would call me his Sona bacha and suggest that I should take a break and eat something. (Chuckling) He knows food always makes me happy.
But you couldn’t have lost 30 kilos for the role by indulging in comfort food.
I’m not off food, only the fried stuff and sweets. Salt and sugar are silent killers. I’ve cut out chocolates, ice cream and rice from my diet, but not regular khaana. When you’re young, losing weight is easy. Actually, it’s easy if you eat healthy and work out daily. Also, it’s important to take a blood test to ensure that the extra kilos you’re carrying around are not because of hormonal imbalance or diabetes.
You’re sounding like a dietician.
I get that from mom and dad, of course. They’re fitness fanatics.
There was some buzz that Sanjay Bhansali was pretty upset with Ranbir and you for getting too lovey-dovey on the sets.
I think Mr Bhansali would have been really happy if we had become lovey-dovey. Sorry, but nothing like that happened. Ranbir is a buddy, my best friend. I’ve literally grown up with him. Nothing more. I do get mad at him for being a major introvert. It’s a job to get him to come over for dinner. I’ve to badger him for five days with calls and then he says, “Maybe...we’ll see.”
You have been getting several threatening calls from his fans because he’s so protective of you.
He’s always been like that. (Laughs) But his fans needn’t worry about me. Ranbir is available.
Your dad, Anil Kapoor, seems more nervous than you as D-day nears November 9?
He is. He calls me up five times in a day.
That’s sweet!
The more nervous he gets, the calmer I become.
Apparently even your mother has been tearing her hair.
Nope, she’s cooler than a cucumber. She believes in destiny the Gita. According to her, there’s a reason for everything. I’ve never given my parents any stress. I’ve been this boringly obedient little girl. My sister rags me for being our parents’ chamchi.
