Sonam Kapoor Is Not Looking For Any 'Exotic' Indian Girl Roles Abroad!

February 23, 2016 Bolly-Freak44034 reads75 comments

We are all excited about some of our Bollywood ladies trying thier luck in the ultra-competitive world of Hollywood. While Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are busy with their new and exciting projects, B-town fashionista has stumbled upon a gold mine back home in Bollywood with her super successful movie Neerja. When asked though, if she would like to follow in the footsteps of her colleagues, Sonam said, "I would like to take my projects to the West. I do not want to be the hot Indian girl there. I have worked very hard not to be this exotic Indian girl in India. I have worked very hard to the point where I could get to do a film like Neerja and be taken seriously. I do not want to start all over again.!"

She added, "If I can get something with a lot of gravitas, I would definitely want to do it. I would approach them myself. If it's a great role, why not? But if it has something right and which attracts me. For me, conquering the world is not important. For me conquering and honing my craft is more important. It doesn't matter what language I get to work in, as long as I get to explore something about myself and explore a character that I want to do. I will make a decision based on the fact that there's something that I can do in it."

She further said, "There has to be something much more... There are so many roles being written, so why not? I want a strong, amazing character. Films like Neerja have a lot of potential of crossing over. Look at how well The Lunchbox and Masaan were received. They crossed international barriers."

Well, what do you think of that?

I think she said somewhere that's she a coldplay or the lead singer's fan, so it didn't matter how small her part was, she would jump at the chance to be a part of it.

Doesn't change the fact that she was playing an "exotic" typecast Indian. Maybe deepika is a fan of Van Diesel or Priyanka is a fan of Baywatch. If she wants the benefit of the doubt, she has to give it to others as well.

Just when I think I have started liking Sonam!! I'm not saying she has to watch every word she says or that she cannot whinge or complain, we all do at times, but she comes across as either entitled or unthinking, and neither is appealing.
