Q) A little over a week left to Aisha's release. How are you feeling? Have the butterflies come calling yet?
Sonam: Oh yes they have! This is a first time I'm getting butterflies for a film.
I've done four films till now, this being my fourth one and I'm usually so chilled out and calm. But with Aisha as the days have neared, I've been losing sleep.
I'm actually nervous because its my sister Rhea's first film and it's me in the title role playing the main protagonist, which is a huge responsibility. We've all
worked really hard on the film.
Q) Jane Austen said of Emma, "I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like," What was it that you liked about the character so much so that you had to become the Indianized Emma – Aisha?
Sonam: I like all Jane Austen heroines! They are either from an unprivileged background or are the 'goody-goody' life all sorted out type.
For Aisha, who is unlike any other Hindi film heroine or Jane Austen heroine for that matter, it's about an inner conflict. It's a coming of age story about a girl who wants to become a woman and growing up is a painful thing. At the very same time it's exciting, exhilarating and full of happiness; eventually you find yourself and your footing. And for Aisha, after all the growing pains, she finally becomes a woman.
There were so many layers and shades to her character. It was about her evolution and growth as a person which I loved. The inherent internal conflict was a great challenge for me as an actor.
