Sonam
Kapoor
is
in
her
mid
twenties.
But
when
you
meet
her,
you
wonder,
and
that
maybe
the
IMDb
has
got
her
age
incorrect.
Sonam
looks
like
she
is
just
about
to
turn
eighteen
in
her
new
film
Aisha.
She
is
getting
younger
with
each
film,
and
that's
so
true
when
you
see
her
from
Saawariya
to
Delhi
6
to
I
Hate
Luv
Storys.
This
paradoxical
mix
of
adult
and
youth
goes
someway
to
explaining
why
Kapoor
is
the
talk
of
the
town.
Sonam
has
made
a
remarkable
career
out
of
such
intriguingly
offbeat
decisions.
In
fact,
it's
easy
to
think
of
her
as
the
'Nutan'
of
films
-
beautiful
and
defined
by
her
quirkiness.
But
the
real
similarity
between
the
two
is
their
talent.
She
is
a
wonderful
combination
of
an
intellect
far
beyond
her
years,
and
yet
there
are
qualities
of
hers
that
are
still
a
young
girl,
and
those
qualities
charm
the
pants
off
you.
She's
a
perfect
combo,
and
her
ability
has
shone
in
every
role
she's
played.
No
mean
feat
when
you
think
about
her
choices.
Having
shopped
bags
full
from
the
designer
store
Top
Shop,
all
the
way
from
the
streets
of
Edinburgh,
the
compulsive
shopper
Sonam
gets
busy
chatting
with
this
special
correspondent.
And
whenever
we
look
at
Sonam
Kapoor,
we
see
a
true
Indian
Cinderella
on
the
threshold
of
a
brilliant
ongoing
career,
and
Aisha
is
one
of
the
many
adjectives
coming
her
way.
How
much
money
have
you
been
spending
on
the
streets
of
Edinburgh?
(Laughs).
I've
just
come
out
of
Top
Shop
and
destroyed
myself.
I've
gone
on
an
insane
shopping
spree.
I
haven't
got
a
chance
to
enjoy
IHLS
success.
I
am
shooting
here
for
Mausam
with
Shahid
Kapoor
and
will
miss
the
after
party
of
IHLS.
So,
can
you
take
us
into
the
sweet
world
of
Aisha?
Of
course
yes.
It's
her
world,
her
friends,
her
aesthetics,
her
energy,
her
love,
her
vibrancy,
etc.
Aisha
is
a
happy
girly
person
who
is
as
strong
as
an
individual.
But
she
is
soon
going
to
transform
herself
from
a
girl
to
a
woman.
That's
what
Aisha
is
about.
It's
a
coming
of
age
story
and
a
chick
flick,
as
we
all
love
to
put
it.
What's
important
is
the
fact
that
Aisha
has
a
certain
growth
to
her
character
which
makes
her
world
more
interesting.
And
how
was
the
in-his-own-space
Abhay
Deol?
Did
he
make
you
feel
like
a
weirdo
just
like
him?
(Laughs)
Abhay
and
I
share
very
similar
acting
styles.
The
energy
between
us
actually
translates.
I
enjoyed
it
thoroughly.
I
told
him
that
I
need
to
work
with
him
again.
We
had
a
blast
and
I
am
missing
him
now
(laughs).
We
shared
a
give
and
take
relationship.
What
not
many
know
about
us
is
that
we
both
are
emotional
actors.
I
want
to
do
lots
of
movies
with
Abhay
Deol.
So
now
that
IHLS
worked
in
the
overseas,
will
it
give
Aisha
that
extra
nudge?
Well,
I
hope
so.
I'd
love
to
interact
with
the
media
and
my
fans
in
London.
Yes,
Aisha
will
give
that
extra
push
because
IHLS
worked
but
any
film,
be
it
Aisha
or
any
of
my
forthcoming
releases
will
only
work
if
the
story
is
up
to
the
mark.
The
same
audiences
who
loved
IHLS
have
hated
many
of
the
past
films
released
in
the
overseas.
But
the
initial
nudge
will
be
there.
Your
smile
is
so
infectious
that
it
wouldn't
be
a
bad
idea
to
launch
a
'foot
long
smile'
Subway
around
the
globe.
(Laughs)
Thank
you
so
much.
I
think
it's
not
a
bad
idea.
I'd
love
to
have
one
on
my
way
to
London.
But
do
keep
me
posted
on
the
'sub'
front
(laughs).
So,
were
you
more
impressed
with
the
book
or
the
film
Emma?
I
think
the
book
is
a
better
version
for
me.
I
liked
the
film
too
but
the
book
gives
you
more
depth.
Aisha
isn't
a
rip
off
from
any
film.
It's
basically
about
a
girl
who
is
constantly
match-making
and
the
whole
film
is
centred
on
Aisha
and
her
bunch
of
friends.
For
Aisha,
you
need
people
around
her
to
challenge
her,
to
interact
with
her,
to
speak
to
her,
to
cry
and
laugh
with
her.
That's
what
the
film
does.
It's
a
great
ensemble
film.
And
how
was
it
to
drive
in
the
cute
yellow
'Beetle'?
I
love
it.
I
am
a
crazy
girl
when
it
comes
to
driving.
I
love
driving
fast
and
Beetle
is
so
girly
and
cute.
It's
a
perfect
girl's
car.
I
am
soon
going
to
get
one
for
myself.
Aisha
is
still
a
fantasy,
isn't
it?
This
movie
is
for
everyone.
Girls
will
love
it
and
the
kids
will
love
it
too.
It's
got
great
music,
it's
got
funny
moments,
and
it's
got
superb
music.
To
add
more,
you
have
parties,
great
clothes
and
is
filled
with
colours.
The
youth
will
fall
in
love
with
the
film.
Aisha
is
also
about
a
father,
a
daughter
and
marriage.
It's
a
quirky
love
story
and
translates
through
ages.
So
in
terms
of
acting,
have
you
pushed
the
envelope?
I
think,
I
don't
know.
It
was
challenging
for
me
to
do
Aisha.
I
was
there
in
every
frame
from
beginning
to
end.
To
do
two
hours
of
consistent
performance
is
not
easy.
It's
a
light
hearted
comedy
and
that's
what
difficult
for
me.
Crying
and
laughing
and
getting
angry
comes
easy
to
me.
But
being
a
girl
and
being
happy
and
having
a
great
timing
in
comedy
is
a
tough
task.
Want
to
know
more
about
a
professional
from
a
professional.
Sonam
Kapoor
on
Rhea
Kapoor.
Rhea
is
young
and
filled
with
lots
of
energy.
She
is
very
bright
and
extremely
practical.
She
has
a
vision
and
is
hard-headed
too.
Because
she
is
young
and
creative,
she
can
take
chances
and
be
courageous.
Aisha
is
a
bold
step
to
take
for
our
first
film
together
as
a
family.
How
different
is
your
couture
in
Aisha
compared
to
that
of
IHLS?
It's
diverse.
It's
like
chalk
and
cheese.
IHLS
had
me
dressed
up
in
casuals
throughout.
I
was
simple
and
yet
colourful
because
I
was
an
ordinary
girl.
It's
a
tough
act
to
follow
and
Manish
pulled
it
off
well.
In
Aisha,
I'm
a
perfect
girl
who
wants
to
be
dressed
up
in
high
end
designer
outfits.
I
get
what
I
want.
It's
edgy
in
a
way.
And
before
we
disconnect,
how
close
is
Aisha
for
Anil
Kapoor?
Aisha
is
his
third
child.
He
is
very
emotional
because
it's
his
first
production
with
both
his
daughters
in
it:
One
as
an
actor
and
one
as
a
producer.
My
father
trusted
everything
that
Rhea
did
for
this
film
and
is
backing
us
all
the
way
to
make
sure
Aisha
reaches
out
to
the
audiences
who've
loved
him
for
three
decades.
Aisha
is
a
complete
film
for
all
of
us.
It's
a
part
of
this
family.
