Newcomer Sonam Kapoor plays the female lead of Sakeena in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya. In a recent interview, Sonam described the steps in the transformation of her character to Sakeena.
Says Sonam, “Sir trained me not as Sakeena, but as an actor. He asked me to learn diction from Roshan Taneja. I was into kathak. Then Sanjay sir asked me to learn dance from Shiamak Davar.”
Adds Sonam, “I also watched the way Aroona Iraniji danced to the number Dilbar dil se pyare in Caravan and Laxmi Chhayaji danced to Maar diya jaaye in Mera Gaon Mera Desh.”
