I compete with myself: Sonam Kapoor

Actress talks about her upcoming movie, the Bollywood numbers game and more...

You look awesome in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. How do you feel

My debut film released on Diwali; this movie too will release on Diwali. Working with Rajshri films opposite Salman Khan in a Sooraj Barjatya movie.... It’s amazing! I play a princess and I am all dressed up, unlike most of my earlier movies.

You always choose different roles. Is it a conscious decision From Delhi 6 to PRDP and the upcoming movie on Neerja Bhanot, I don’t want people to say, ‘we have seen Sonam in this before.’

Do you believe in the numbers game The numbers game or all this talk about my remuneration is dirty to me. I like to be myself. I like to do films in my space; I am not running for any place. I try to compete with myself. What do you do when you are not doing films I have a fashion line and have been producing films. I need time for travelling and to have a personal life. If I don’t grow as a person, how will I grow as an actor

How do you manage to look good My dad’s genes are very good, they don’t let me age. I played a 15-year-old in Raanjhanaa and I thought people won’t accept it, but they did. Now I am being offered two films where I am asked to play a 17-year-old. When you don’t think of unnecessary things, there is no baggage or cynicism.

Would you like to do television Television is a huge commitment. I don’t know if I can do reality or game shows; I don’t think I can judge anyone. I want all of them to win. Maybe I can do fiction. Are you open to Hollywood ventures Definitely. If I get the opportunity, why wouldn’t I What’s up on the love front I never talk about my personal life. I can’t answer questions about whether I am single or in a relationship.
