After the box office debacles that were Saawariya and Delhi-6, Sonam Kapoor is now looking forward to a change of fortunes in 2010. And with four extremely promising films on the floor, Sonam’s fortunes do seem to be looking up.
The actress has already finished shooting for Punit Malhotra’s I Hate Love Stories with Imran Khan, while filming for her home production Aisha, starring Abhay Deol, is still continuing. Next up for Sonam is Pankaj Kapur’s directorial debut Mausam, with Shahid Kapoor. She will shoot simultaneously for Anees Bazmee’s Thank You opposite Akshay Kumar.
Surprisingly, none of her forthcoming films will see the actress do a repeat act with any one of her leading men.
Director Anees is all praise for Sonam. “She is vibrant, natural and very attractive,” he says, adding, “When I cast her, I did not think about whether she could have carried off comedy well. I cast her because she fit the script. I am sure she will be able to carry off comedy just as well as her father did. She’s a talented girl.”
We hope Sonam’s listening to this little vote of confidence.

“It went too soon, too soon That age when cats fiddled And cows jumped over the moon...” From Tension Nahin Leneka by Bachchoo On the strength of a few series of situation comedy for TV and the fact that I have written material for stand-up comics and parodists, I am invited to participate in a seminar on comedy at a German university. The particular department of the university has post-graduate students who learn through the medium of English and in the case of this seminar have chosen the option of what universities call “post-colonial” studies.

The year is still new, and we are full of good intentions. This week we learnt that the government’s sporadic efforts — mostly weak and often mindless — to change anti-dowry laws for better implementation may include laying down rules on how much you can spend on weddings. The Planning Commission’s Working Group on Women’s Agency and Empowerment has recommended an income-linked ceiling on marriage expenditure, which would include gifts as well as celebratory feasts. In short, if you try to spend beyond your means on your daughter or son’s wedding, you’d better be ready for the dowry inspector.
