'Khoobsurat'
actress
Sonam
Kapoor
feels
her
fashionista
image
and
off-screen
personality
sometimes
overshadow
her
identity
as
an
actor.
"People
have
forgotten
that
I
am
an
actress,
they
don't
take
me
seriously.
First
it
was
my
dressing
sense
then
my
opinionated
nature,
both
have
overshadowed
my
identity
of
a
performer.
I
can't
change
both
the
things,
they
are
part
of
me," Sonam
told
PTI.
The
actress,
known
for
grabbing
headlines
for
her
candid
nature,
says
she
is
proud
that
unlike
other
actors,
she
does
not
shy
away
from
making
her
opinions
public.
"I
will
always
speak
my
mind,
in
fact,
I
feel
many
in
our
industry
don't
say
what
they
want
to,
which
is
sad.
But
I
can't
be
like
them,"
said
the
actress,
who
feels
she
is
underrated
in
the
industry.
"All
the
directors
of
mine
say
I
am
underrated
in
the
industry.
I
don't
know
what
to
do
about
it,
I
guess
I
have
not
restricted
myself
to
a
particular
image
on
screen,
I
have
always
done
different
roles.
A
single
image
stays
with
people
but
I
can't
do
that,"
she
said.
Sonam
started
her
Bollywood
career
with
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
'Saawariya'
(2008),
where
she
played
the
role
of
a
shy
Muslim
girl,
then
portrayed
an
aspiring
singer
in
Rakyesh
Omprakash
Mehra's
'Delhi-6'
(2009).
She
got
critical
acclaim
for
her
role
in
'Raanjhanaa' and
Indian
athlete
Milka
Singh's
lover
in
his
biopic
'Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag'
in
2013.
Sonam
is
excited
for
her
upcoming
home
production
'Khoobsurat',
a
remake
of
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee's
1980
comedy
of
the
same
name,
which
starred
Rekha
in
the
lead.
"I
love
the
original
film
and
have
watched
it
a
lot
of
times
but
when
we
planned
to
make
the
film,
I
decided
not
to
watch
it
so
that
I
can
keep
the
character
fresh.
Our
film
is
a
classic
romantic-comedy,"
she
said.
