Bollywood star Anil Kapoor’s daughter Sonam is making her Bollywood debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited Saawariya, and the proud father can’t stop raving about her.
“I was shocked when I saw her finesse on screen,” said Kapoor, who feels Sonam is lucky to have Saawariya as her launch pad with a big banner and an acclaimed filmmaker backing her.
Excerpts from the interview:
How does it feel to share camera space with your daughter?
I’m shocked to see Sonam’s finesse on screen. I’m just so anxious about Saawariya. I know she has done her best. And now we can only wait for reactions. You know, when I saw her in the rushes I wasn’t just looking at her.
I was also looking at the entire film. There’s a father and a film person looking proudly at Saawariya. As someone who understands cinema, I can recognize the excellence of Saawariya. Everything works in it. Sonam is in a win-win situation.
Unlike you when you started out.
That’s right. I started with bit roles in Ek Baar Kaho and Hamare Tumhare, and then made my way up. Sonam has Sony Pictures and Sanjay Bhansali backing her ambitions. How much higher could she have gone? There’s so much sincerity in the project. As a matter of fact, my responsibilities towards Sonam were taken over by Sanjay. I don’t think I could’ve done a better job.
