Bollywood
actress
and
fashionista
Sonam
Kapoor
says
that
she
does
not
choose
simple
roles
to
shift
the
focus
of
the
audience
from
her
fashion
sense
to
acting
skills.
"All
the
actresses
are
doing
it
(following
fashion,
styling)
now.
After
I
started
doing
it
all
of
them
started
doing
it.
So
maybe
it
(fashion
side)
is
working
some
way
or
the
other
or
else
why
would
everybody
do
that," Sonam
told
in
an
interview.
After
a
string
of
flops
including
Thank
You,
Mausam,
and
Players,
Sonam
is
now
gearing
up
for
Anand
L
Rai's
Raanjhnaa,
where
she
is
seen
essaying
the
role
of
a
girl
next
door.
"I
enjoy
acting
so
much
that
I
don't
think
if
I
do
a
simple
role,
people
will
focus
more
on
my
acting.
I
think
that
is
what
the
character
in
Raanjhnaa
is
and
that
is
what
I
did.
I
am
not
preempting
or
planning
something
it
is
just
the
character
that
I
like
and
I
did
what
it
required
for
me
to
do," she
said.
The
27-year-old
is
looking
forward
to
two
other
big
projects
-
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag
and
Khoobsurat
remake
-
besides
a
YRF
untitled
film
opposite
Ayushmann
Khurrana.
In
Khoobsurat
remake,
Sonam
is
playing
a
free-spirited
girl
and
says
the
film
is
the
modern
interpretation
of
Rekha
starrer
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee's
1980
hit.
Her
sister
Rhea
is
producing
the
film.
Its
her
second
film
after
Aisha.
"I
am
a
fan
of
Rekhaji.
I
am
obsessed
with
her.
I
have
already
met
Rekhaji.
Our
film
is
not
inspired
by
the
original
one.
The
essence
of
it
is
inspired
but
the
story,
the
idea
is
completely
different.
The
energy
that
she
(Rekha)
had
in
the
film
we
are
trying
to
capture
the
energy
that
her
character
had
in
the
film," Sonam
said.
"I
would
love
it
if
she
does
a
cameo.
But
that
is
in
my
sister's
hand.
I
am
just
an
actor
there.
I
have
been
told
I
suit
the
role
and
to
do
it.
I
don't
have
any
demands.
In
my
family,
production
company
and
other
companies
my
demands
are
never
given
into,"
she
said.
Sonam
looks
quite
excited
about
her
next
release
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag
where
she
plays
the
love
interest
of
filmmaker-actor
Farhan
Akhtar.
"It
was
possibly
the
best
working
experience
that
I
have
had
with
anybody.
His
style
of
working
is
extremely
nice.
He
is
so
dedicated
and
professional.
He
is
an
actor
when
he
is
on
sets
and
he
did
not
try
to
be
a
director,"
she
said.
"He
became
Milkha.
He
has
played
the
role
so
nicely
that
I
only
saw
Milkha
in
him
I
did
not
see
Farhan.
And
that
transformation
(from
his
real
self
to
Milkha)
is
incredible.
He
is
a
genius
-
be
it
in
directing,
producing
or
writing
lyrics
or
acting."
"I
am
happy
and
fortunate
to
get
the
opportunity
to
work
with
talented
people
like
Farhan,
Ayushmann
and
Dhanush.
All
three
of
them
are
insanely
talented
I
have
learnt
so
much
from
them,"
she
added.
