B -Town babes Sonam Kapoor and Deepika
Padukone were best friends at one point
(Remember how they bitched about Ranbir
Kapoor during Koffee with Karan), but
unfortunately their equation has changed now.
And the reason for this is Sonam's blunt
statements about the Bajirao Mastani actress.
Surprisingly during a recent interaction, Ms
Kapoor was all praises for Deepika .The Neerja
actress praised Ms Padukone for her outstanding
performance in Piku, but thinks that Kangana
Ranaut deserved all the awards.
During an interaction with the actress,
Bollywoodlife asked Sonam about expecting
awards for her upcoming film Neerja, she said, "It
doesn't work for me that way. I have been
nominated for last three years for everything that
I have done, but I have never made a hoo haa
about it, I think it's really amazing when you get
award but at the same time I don't think it's
important."
The actress says she was heartbroken when she
wasn't even nominated for her second film Delhi
6, "I figured this out when I was not nominated
for Delhi 6, and that was a second film that I had
did. I don't remember who got the award that
year or what happened, I didn't get nominated
for Delhi 6, because I didn't lobby for anything. I
know the kind of impact that role had, I was really
proud of that role, I was 22 years old and I was
really disappointed, I remember whichever
international festival Delhi 6 went on I got the
awards for the role. The film got mixed reviews,
but I got 6 awards from the international film
festivals for that film, Asian film awards and many
others but in India I was not even nominated. I
will be very happy if I get nominated and get
award but it is not much important for me after I
realised".
When further asked the Neerja actress, if she will
stop attending awards shows like Ms Ranaut,
Sonam refuted and said, "No. The two of best
performers this year was Kangana Ranaut for
Tanu Weds Manu Returns and Deepika Padukone
for Piku. For me the most commercially amazing
performance was Tanu Manu 2 because she was
amazing and she should have got all the most
popular awards everywhere. Also for me critically
Piku was the best performance of the year and so
was Richa Chadda in Masaan. But I feel Kangana
should own it and by attending award shows as
she would have received the awards.
The actress goes on to add, "She deserves those
awards, because she is not attending the award
shows, she is not getting it and she is kind of
damaging herself. I understand the principles for
what she is standing for and I completely agree
with her. However for me Tanu Weds Manu
Returns and Bajrangi Bhaijaan are the best films
this year and they should be receiving the awards
everywhere."
