Sonam Kapoor recently was asked by a popular magazine, whether she would like to work with Shah Rukh Khan in the near future. To this, she said, "I don't think Shah Rukh Khan wants to work with me. There have been so many opportunities where I could have worked with him but he... I wanted to work with him and I reached out to him as well. But I never got the opportunity. I guess it'll happen whenever he feels like working with me."
Now, during an interaction with a popular daily, she was asked about the quote which she gave and she stated that she didn't say it like that. Sonam even went on to further say that the leading hero takes the call in the casting of the film and when Shraddha Kapoor was asked about the same, she refused it. Talking about it, the Neerja actor added, "I have known Shraddha since we were kids. She is my age and we have grown up together. So I think she is reacting to a statement that has been misquoted."
Moreover, when the popular daily asked her the truth behind her statement, she replied, "Somebody asked me if I would like to work with SRK, and I said, 'Of course, I would love to work with him when he wants to.' I have just not had the opportunity. He is in a unique position, where he takes the calls (about the female leads he wants to work with)."
She further stated, "Yes, a lot of calls are taken by directors and I only work with those directors who take that call. So, all I said was that I will work with him when he wants to, and whenever there is a role and an opportunity. But whatever I said was misinterpreted."
Sonam went on to say that she had a talk with SRK regarding her statement. "Even Mr Khan called me up and asked if the statement was true. And I said, 'No, it's not. I didn't say it like that. You have known me for many years and it is not what it is.' Since film-making is a collaborative effort, I will work with him when the director, actor, the rest of the cast and everyone else is in consensus about working with me. Till now, I have not had that chance. That's all I said," she concluded.
