Sonam targets literature lovers with her Aisha-avatar
Spicezee Bureau
New Delhi: Sonam Kapoor has changed her Bittu's prances to uber-fashionable Aisha's gait. An Indian adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Emma', 'Aisha' is a completely different role for the fresh-looking beauty Sonam Kapoor.
The budding star is very serious about her new role, and has done her homework well.
Sonam said to a new daily, "I read quite a bit of Jane Austen and I feel that every young girl at one point or another would've had a favourite Austen novel. 'Aisha' is based a lot on the book. Here in Delhi high society, it's all about who you marry, how your wedding should be the best and how you should find the perfect man," she adds.
"Every girl wants a perfect wedding. We want the perfect man. But the perfect man is not necessarily the perfect man for you on paper; maybe, a girl and boy may not be so amazing together. Aisha doesn't know that. Emma as a character didn't know that and she tried to control everything and everybody, she thought that a puzzle should always fit perfectly. But she didn't know that life's not a puzzle; it's a series of mish-mashes that makes it so beautiful," she said.
Comparing her character from 'Delhi 6' to this glamorous one, she said, "Bittu was a girl and Aisha is a child-woman. Bittu was from Old Delhi and the lower middle class. Aisha's from New Delhi, she lives near Aurangzeb Road, she might have a farmhouse in Chattarpur. Her dad will have an old Mercedes, and she likes to wear her mom's old pearls and carry her vintage bags. She's very classy, sophisticated and intelligent. She's slightly spoilt. It's fun playing this character."
Sonam's portrayal is going to bring her under the scanner of literature lovers. At this point, she gushes excitedly, "That was my main aim because I'm a literature aficionado too. But people should know that we're not setting the film in Victorian England. We're adapting it as beautifully as we can to New Delhi and we're trying to make Mr Knightley and Emma as contemporary as we can."
