I like everything about stardom: Sonam Kapoor

Being a celebrity comes with a price but Bollywood
actress Sonam Kapoor says she likes everything about
stardom, including the constant attention and the odd
hours.

"I like everything about stardom. I don't mind being in
the public eye. If anyone tells you that they want to be a
film actor but they don't want to be a star, that means
they are lying. I love acting and love the fact the people
like both my work and me. I am not pretentious enough
to say that I cannot stand the attention," Sonam told
IANS in an interview.

The 27-year-old, who was seen in "Aisha" and "I hate
Luv Stories", will be next seen in Aanand L. Rai's
"Raanjhanaa" as well as "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" and
YRF's untitled film. Sonam will also be seen in the
remake of 1980 film "Khubsoorat" that was directed by
Hrishikesh Mukherjee and starred Rekha and Rakesh
Roshan in the lead roles.

The fact that she gets to don so many different
characters is something which attracted her to the
industry.

"I love being in front of the camera and I love creating
new things. Can you imagine a girl from Juhu playing a
girl from Chandni Chowk or a girl from Banaras or a girl
from Defence Colony. It is amazing to be able to play
different people," said Sonam, who has also been the
part of films like "Delhi-6" and "Players".

Having said that, she does believe her job to be a
challenging one.

"People are not as bad as people think they are in the
industry. We work very hard with odd hours. It is not
only emotional, but has physical and mental work as
well," she said.

She is inspired by veterans like Rekha, Nutan and
Waheeda Rehman.

"I did meet Rekha and she was like 'it is amazing that
you are doing the remake'. There are three or four
heroines who I am obsessed with. They are Waheeda
Rehman, Nutan, Rekha, Jaya Bachchan and Sridevi. I
copy them all the time," she said.

The actress said she would love to be a part of "Guide",
"Saraswatichandra" and "Umrao Jaan".

"I would love to remake 'Guide' of Waheeda Ji,
'Saraswatichandra' of Nutan, I am the part of
'Khubsoorat' and I would love to do 'Umrao Jaan'...the
make up and thumris were just amazing. I have
completely copied Waheeda Ji's performance in 'Guide'
in my film 'Raanjhanaa'."

In Sonam's view, the trend of remakes is good.

"I think every generation re-looks at a story. I don't think
there is anything wrong with remakes," she said.

Oh I agree with her on this one when it comes to Bollywood. Everybody wants to be a star regardless to whether they can achieve it or not. Some just don't show it

I agree with Sonam too...but too bad that she is neither 😛
