Sonam
left
for
Toronto
on
Sunday
night.
But
not
before
expressing
her
happiness
over
the
encouraging
opening
of
Aisha.
"I
feel
like
a
hero!
I
feel
I'm
shouldering
the
film.
It's
daunting
to
know
that
heroes
get
an
opening
at
the
box-office,
and
then
you
see
my
film
get
an
opening!
If
I
may
say
so
Aisha
got
a
very
decent
opening.
In
any
case
it's
not
very
big-budgeted
film."
All
the
budget
seems
to
have
gone
into
Sonam's
clothes.
"Arrey,
but
I
wore
a
lot
of
my
own
clothes
from
my
wardrobe!
And
those
are
paid
for
by
my
own
money.
Do
you
know
I
haven't
taken
any
money
from
my
dad
from
the
age
of
18.
Plus
there
were
around
70
designers
who
offered
us
clothes.
We
put
together
clothes
shoes
bags
from
what
we
were
offered.
We
mixed
n
matched
from
what
was
sent
to
us."
What
about
starting
the
Sonam
Kapoor
Collection?
She
laughs.
"That
sounds
impressive
and
who
knows,
I
might
just
do
that
one
day.
You
know,
Sanjay
Sir
(Bhansali)
always
told
me
I'd
one
day
be
considered
fashionable.
I
always
had
a
penchant
for
dressing
up.
But
I
started
off
just
wanting
to
be
an
actor.
And
when
I
was
assisting
Sanjay
Sir
in
Black
I
am
sure
you
remember
me
very
frumpily
dressed.
But
those
were
my
work
clothes.
Sanjay
Sir
used
to
say,
'Sona
Bachcha,
don't
dress
up
on
my
sets.'
Sonam
says
she
wasn't
shaken
by
the
first
two
failures.
"I
won't
allow
myself
to
be
judged
by
whether
my
film
works
or
not
at
the
box-office.
I
am
here
to
act
because
I
love
it.
Once
Sanjay
Sir
(Bhansali)
brought
to
my
notice
that
I
should
act,
this
was
it
for
me.
Saawariya
and
Delhi-6
are
very
precious
to
me.
These
were
very
large-hearted
films.
I
learnt
so
much
while
acting
in
these
films.
I
gained
so
much
confidence
from
them."
In
Aisha,
Sonam
didn't
add
to
the
director's
input.
"I'm
a
very
selfish
actor.
I
was
just
focusing
on
my
performance,
nothing
else."
Sonam
sees
herself
directing
a
film
some
day.
"Sanjay
Sir
always
encouraged
my
aesthetics.
And
I
love
to
write.
So
I
want
to
write
a
screenplay.
But
first
I
need
to
feel
I'm
good
enough,
I
don't
want
to
be
mediocre
in
anything.
I
wouldn't
want
any
director
to
take
up
my
script
and
turn
it
around.
Let's
see...
I
need
to
get
more
worldly-wise
before
I
write
a
script.
I
need
to
grow
up
a
bit
see
more
of
the
world.
I've
led
a
very
sheltered
life.
I
switch
off
from
stressful
situations.
I
need
to
get
more
aware
of
pain."
Sister
Rhea
Kapoor
will
decide
whether
Sonam
will
be
in
the
next
home
production.
"Rhea
is
extremely
clear-headed
and
practical.
Which
I
am
not.
I
am
very
much
into
myself.
It's
a
Gemini
quality,
I
guess.
It's
scary
but
good.
It
keeps
me
shielded
from
troublesome
situations."
She
recoils
when
I
ask
her
about
her
real
love
story
with
the
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
director
Punit
Malhotra.
"I'd
rather
not
talk
about
it.
Whether
I
am
dating
or
not
dating
anyone
is
entirely
my
business.
I
am
not
seeing
anyone
right
now.
Even
if
I
was
I
wouldn't
talk
about
it.
It's
in
very
bad
taste
to
talk
about
whom
I
am
seeing.
Like
asking
how
much
money
I
make.
I've
been
brought
up
differently.
I
won't
discuss
my
love
life,
my
money
and
age."
