Abhishek's survival tips for Sonam

Six films-old actress Sonam Kapoor has been recieving useful professional tips to survive in Bollywood, thanks to her 'Players' co-star, Abhishek Bachchan, who has spent over a decade in showbiz.

'He thinks I am a little bit too naive for this industry and he said - 'You need to become smarter, Sonam. This industry will spare nobody. You have to be smart and not say or do whatever you feel like,' Sonam said while promoting her latest film at a radio station here.

The pampered and sensitive 26-year-old daughter of film star Anil Kapoor added: 'Generally, whenever somebody hurts me, you can see it on my face. I cannot hide anything. So he (Abhishek) kept telling me to be smart.'

Sonam and Abhishek were earlier paired together in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's 'Delhi 6'.

Their next, her seventh film 'Players', the official Hindi remake of Hollywood film 'The Italian Job', will release Jan 6 next year. It also features Bobby Deol, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Bipasha Basu.
