Bollywood
actress
Sonam
Kapoor
who
hails
from
a
filmy
background,
does
not
want
to
take
piggy-back
ride
on
her
father
Anil
Kapoor's
shoulders.
She
wants
to
create
her
own
identity
without
any
help.
"I
feel
there's
very
little
that
can
grow
under
a
banyan
tree.
So,
I
have
tried
to
create
my
own
path
and
I
have
very
successfully
done
it
-
whether
it's
through
my
fashion
or
movies
I
choose," said
the
28-year-old
in
an
interview.
Sonam
made
her
debut
as
an
actress
in
the
film
Saawariya
(2007).
Since
then,
she
has
acted
in
11
films
and
has
more
coming.
Sonam
talks
about
her
ego
and
how
it
doesn't
let
her
take
much
help
from
her
father.
"Very
thoughtfully
I
tried
not
to
do
much
with
my
father.
It's
a
very
selfish
decision,
as
I
just
wanted
my
own
identity.
So
even
when
Aisha
was
produced,
my
sister
(Rhea)
produced
it.
It
was
her
first
film.
I
never
asked
my
father
to
do
this
for
me.
I
think
I
have
a
man's
ego
in
a
lot
of
ways,"
she
explained.
The
actress
is
very
concerned
about
her
father's
work
and
doesn't
want
to
disappoint
him.
"And
also,
I
don't
want
to
take
away
his
hard
work.
If
I
don't
do
well
and
he
has
put
in
his
money
or
name
on
me,
then
40
years
of
his
hard
work
goes
down
the
drain
because
his
daughter
is
a
disappointment.
So,
I
would
rather
fall
down
on
my
own
and
I
don't
want
to
take
my
dad
with
me,"
she
added.
Sonam
Kapoor
has
had
quite
a
few
flop
movies
in
her
list,
but
she
says
she
was
too
young
to
understand
a
few
things
in
the
past.
"I
realised
that
because
of
my
glamorous
image
and
being
a
fashion
icon,
I
don't
need
to
do
films
to
add
star
value
to
myself.
I
was
too
young
to
understand
that
back
then,
but
I
am
old
enough
and
now
understand
that
because
of
my
image
I
can
get
away
with
doing
more
real
films.
But
that
doesn't
mean
I
am
only
doing
Raanjhanaa
or
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag,
in
which
I
am
playing
a
quintessential
rooted
Indian
girl".
The
actress
has
a
movie
coming
up
under
the
banner
of
Yash
Raj
Films.
"There
is
this
film
with
Yash
Raj,
in
which
I
am
playing
a
modern
girl
from
Gurgaon.
She
is
a
banker.
So,
I
really
want
to
pick
characters
like
young
girls,
cool,
not-so-cool
girls
--
as
long
as
they
are
real
girls,"
she
added.
