On Sonam’s wish-list...

From the time she entered Bollywood in 2007 with Saawariya, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja mostly courted the limelight as a fashionista and a highly-opinionated person rather than with her acting skills — till Neerja in 2016 changed that opinion for many. While the actress is happy with her career graph, she now wishes to be part of horror and action films.

“I haven’t done any action and horror films, so these are the two genres I would love to explore. It would be so different and exciting for me because I haven’t done anything on action. So, one of these two genres would be interesting to try out,” Sonam, who looks forward to working with filmmakers Vishal Bhardwaj and Shoojit Sircar says.

Starting her career as an assistant director in the film Black under the mentorship of filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Sonam is philosophical recalling her initial days when Saawariya turned out to be a critical and commercial failure. “The fate of any film is not in the hand of actors, so I do not think we could have done anything differently then. But people liked us — Ranbir and me,” she said. — IANS
