Sonam Kapoor: 'I'm not in the numbers game!'



After Sonam Kapoor's Saawariya was not so cool at the box office, the actor is banking on Mehra's Dilli 6 for some 'cool collections'! While she and Deepika Padukone made an entry into Bollywood at the same time, Deepika has to her credit two films – Om Shanti Om and Bachna Ae Haseeno – and her third movie – Chandni Chowk to China - will hit the theatre screens soon.

About why Sonam hasn't done a film so far, well she didn't want to sign any film just for the heck of it. "I wasn't getting the kind of offers I'd like. The scripts were more woman-oriented, and I didn't want to give in to anything for the sake of just doing something. I've taken my time and was happy when Rakeysh Mehra offered me to be a part of Dilli 6 ," said Sonam Kapoor from Dubai where she attended the Dubai Film Festival.

"It was a great experience," she said, "Everyone is excited about the film, but no one can be more excited about it than me," she giggles. She claims Dilli 6 to be a 'learning experience'. "What else can it be when you are sharing the frame with the likes of Waheeda Rehman, Rishi Kapoor and Om Puri. They're all stalwarts in their own right. And then of course there was Abhishek Bachchan, whom I learnt enough and more from. He is fun to work with!"

While a major part of Dilli 6 has been shot in Rajasthan, the team had their fair share of fun and bonded tremendously well on the sands of the desert. They're known to have gorged on Rajasthani speciality like the mawa kachoris ... Dilli 6 will release on February 20, 2009, and will hopefully put Sonam Kapoor back in the race. "I'm not in the number game at all. I'll take each film as it comes, and will draw my own chart at my own pace!" she says.

"I'm not in the number game at all"

Personally I believe, use of this line by actors should be banned!!!!!

^It is a cliche. But maybe asking them to cultivate a statement about the love of their art is too much to ask. In all seriousness, this line is stated so much that it is not even useful to say. Then again you go the other route by stating box office returns to how successful the film is seems to be the mantra of other stars no matter how horrible the film is.

Add to that:
We're just friends.
I've always wanted to be an actor.
I don't know what I'd be if I was not an actor.
I have never been in a relationship.
I do my job and go home.
This movie is very different from the others.
I enjoy my work, I don't worry about competition.

😆😆 The Khans are chill with each other I am sure. They are just giving lines to the media so that they can go make headlines and in turn they get some publicty out of it. I love the Khan banters...even if it's silly!!! 😆

"I don't believe in the number game"

Even if this is the most cliched line (and not even really true) it always makes the headline!! WHY??!!! I like her next statement "I will draw my own chart at my own pace" Now that's a more interesting headline!! 😕
