You may think that Sonam Kapoor lost an excellent by turning down an offer to play the female lead role opposite Hrithik Roshan in a movie named Kites. The movie would be produced by Hrithik’s father Rakesh Roshan and directed by Anurag Basu. The role she denied was later described as of a bold one by Anurag Basu as the character required an actress to be seriously sexy. Later, Rakesh Roshan decided cast top Latin actress Barbara Mori in the film.

Apunka Choice reported:

“The girl’s role is extremely bold,” Anurag Basu , who will direct the film, was quoted as saying.
Sonam, who is very conscious of her conservative image, excused herself because the role requires the girl to get “seriously sexy” with Hrithik in the scenic locales of New Mexico, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

It would be unfair to make any comment over the matter as the truth of the incident is not yet confirmed. However, if Sonam has really offered the role and she has denied it, then it is almost clear that Sonam Kapoor is not interested to follow the feat of many other Bollywood actresses who are exuberantly acting wearing sexy outfits. It is definitely a bold decision taken by someone who has just a movie to her credit. Let us see if Sonam Kapoor continues with her Saawariya-like role which was gorgeous and attractive.

You already know that the upcoming Bollywood movie Saawariya is going to hit the screens across the world within few hours. The movie has already attracted much media attention because of its two lead actors- Sonam Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor, who are going to get into Bollywood with this movie. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the movie has everything to rock the box office. Today while searching in the net, I got a good review article on the movie where writer talks about various aspects of the movie including some information about Sonam Kapoor.

The article is well organized and full of information regarding the movie. I think, before going to watch the movie, one can go through this article to get an overview of the movie. Some exclusive video interviews of Sonam Kapoor are also given in the article. However, what makes me more impressed is the music review of the article where writer talked about every track of the movie. You can go and visit the article following the link given below:

Saawariya: Sonam Kapoor the new face of Bollywood

Sonam Kapoor, the new craze of Bollywood, is coming with her debut film Saawariya. This 22 year old beauty queen has already earned experience in movie direction as she worked as assistant director of Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the movie Black. Sonam Kapoor now seems to win the hearts of the moviegoers with her stunning beauty innocent look. It is expected that Sonam Kapoor possesses sheer talent of acting which would be her main advantage in this profession. With her open eyed, expressive appearance, Sonam Kapoor also has the ability to win her a place in the hearts of her fans. Her innocent look will make you feel to be a fan of this future star of Bollywood. It is true that she does not have any movie to her credit yet, however, Sonam Kapoor has already created much hype in the media because of being a child of a Bollywood star.

Born in a filmy family, Sonam Kapoor had all in her house to take inspiration to become a movie star. Sonam’s father Anil Kapoor is still one of the popular actors in Bollywood. Her two uncles Boney Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor are also involved in Bollywood successfully. Boney Kapoor is a producer whereas Sanjay Kapoor is an actor in Bollywood. Moreover, Bollywood’s legendary actress Sridevi is married to her uncle Boney Kapoor. Having such background, it would have been natural for Sonam Kapoor to have a desire to become a star in Bollywood. However, interestingly Sonam Kapoor never had it in her mind that she has the potential to become an actress. It was Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the popular director of Bollywood, who reminded her that she had talent to become an actress in Bollywood.

Sonam Kapoor could not even think of becoming a Bollywood actress despite having her killing smile, innocent appearance and gifted talent. What is more surprising is that Sonam Kapoor does not even have any institutional education in acting. She has recently said that whatever she knows about acting she has learnt it from Sanjay Leela Bhansali. While working for Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the movie Black, she learnt the insight of acting for the first time and it helped her while working in Saawariya. So, she has learnt acting in a natural way without attending any school.

Sonam Kapoor has a younger sister, Reha and a brother whom Sonam has recently said to be a brutally honest while giving his opinion. That is why, Sonam Kapoor is eagerly waiting for his opinion regarding the movie Saawariya. Saawariya will hit the screens world wide on 9 November, the same day another much awaiting movie Om Shanti Om of Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan will get released. It has been reported that Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have a hidden competition as both of them are debutant and their first movie is releasing under big banners though Sonam Kapoor has refused having any competition between them.

Childhood of Sonam Kapoor

Actually, I could not find enough information regarding the childhood of Sonam Kapoor. She was born in 9 June, 1985. She brought up with her parents but she studied abroad. Anil Kapoor has said that Sonam Kapoor was very lean in her childhood. However, she got the extra weight while studying in abroad. Reports have it that Sonam Kapoor has a great appetite for food.

In her childhood she had several wishes. Though she was a daughter of a popular Bollywood actor she does not have any desire to become an actress. There were several wishes in her mind. Initially, she wanted to become a teacher. However, after some days, Sonam Kapoor changed her wish and wanted to become a detective like Nancy Drew. Becoming a writer-director was also in her mind. Becoming an actress was something that she could not even dream off in her childhood. However, the reality is that Sonam Kapoor is now in the queue to become the next super star in Bollywood.

Sonam Kapoor’s Coming into Bollywood and Signing in Saawariya

Earlier I have mentioned earlier that Sonam Kapoor started as an assistant director of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It was for the movie ‘Black’ which was well-received by the critics. Ahead of the movie, one day Sonam Kapoor came to Sanjay Leela Bhansali with the request to give her the permission to work with him in the movie to get the basics of movie direction. I do not know if Sanjay could instantly realize the talent of Sonam Kapoor. However, he gave her the permission to work with him in the move Black. During the shooting of Black, one day Sanjay Leela Bhansali came up with the proposal to Sonam Kapoor to act in Saawariya. However, it came as a big surprise for Sonam Kapoor as she was about 90 kilos then. Immediately, Sonam Kapoor stared working hard to knock down her extra fats. With the help of her fitness freak mother Sunita kapoor, Sonam struggle hard and lost 30 kilos within few months.

When asked why he has taken two newcomers in the same movie, Sanjay Leela Bhansali said that he was feeling to take a challenge for himself working with the newcomers as he had earlier worked with some stars of the industry including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Salman Khan etc. Regarding Sonam Kapoor, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has said that Sonam Kapoor is a combination of Waheeda Rehmanji and Rekha. It seems that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has realized the potential of Sonam Kapoor as an actress. However, Anil Kapoor is not not overexcited with her daughter and has recently said in an interview that Sonam has to go a long way still now.

Saawariya is a film said to be timeless as one can not make it relate to any point of time in the history. Viewers will get to experience the touch of art in each and every sides of the movie. The lavish sets, unique music number are enough to impress the moviegoers. The story of Saawariya is based on a short story of Fyodor Dostoevsky titled ‘White Nights.’ What is more siognificant is that Saawariya is the first Bollywood movie till date which has been produced by a Hollywood production house. The movie will be released under the banner of Sony Pictures. So, it seems that Saawariya and its actors have achieved much media attention over the last few months. The movie has been a hit even before its release. Sonam Kapoor is really very lucky that she is getting into Bollywood with such a movie like Saawariya.

As far as the promo of Saawariya is concerned, Sonam Kapoor showed brilliant performance in her debut movie. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Saawariya is a love story where a boy named Raj and a girl named Sakina found eternal love for each other. With a budget of about RS 30 crore, Sanjay Leela Bhansali took the lavish project of Saawariya where almost all of the scenes of the movie have been shot in misty night light. With lots of lights the environment was artificially created in the movie studio and you must be surprised to see the sets of the movie. The male lead role, Raj came from a Hindu family whereas Sakina is Muslim by religion. However, the directors and actors of the movie have confirmed it that the movie will not be a typical Hindu-Muslim movie.

Raj reaches at a picture like town where he meets Sakina. The town is really like a picture where you can see mountains three and many other things which will make you realize that it is a fantasy world where two souls have found their love for each other. You will find all ingredients to feel that Saawariya is a unique love story compared to other love stories of Bollywood. Lotuses, lake, boat, lights, stars in the sky- above all a mystic nightly environment are portrayed in the movie.

Monty Sharma as a composer in his debut film has stunned the Bollywood fans with his exceptionally composed songs. Recently, Sanjay Leela Bhansali said that Monty is now raked just after A.R. Rahman in the Bollywood industry as a composer. The music tracks of the movie suit the themes of the film very well.

It was earlier reported that Cricketer Yuvraj Singh and designer Nandita Mahtani are dating each other. However, recently Yuvraj Singh was seen comfortable with Sonam Kapoor, the leading actress of Saawariya. So, the media has created many interesting stories over the matter. The movie has a lot to do in Sonam Kapoor’s career as it is her first Bollywood movie. On the other hand, Yuvraj Singh is now one of the popular cricketers in India. Recently in a party where Saawariya stars and Cricket stars joined together, Yuvraj Singh and Sonam Kapoor were seen together talking and laughing each other.

Everything is still a rumor in the media. Nothing has enough evident to make it true. So, you have to wait a bit to know that if there is anything between Yuvraj Singh and Sonam Kapoor. Now, let us see if the movie Saawariya can good really make it big for Sonam Kapoor.

Saawariya and Om Shanti Om, two big banner Diwali movies are now facing strong challenge from each other ahead of their release on the same day. Both the movies will hit the screens on 9 November 2007. Sonam Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor will make their Bollywood debut with the movie Saawariya. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the movie is based on an eternal love story placed in a fantasy world. Om Shanti Om will also come up with a model turned actress Deepika Padukone who will make her debut with this movie. Deepika Padukone plays the female lead role of the movie whereas Shah Rukh Khan plays the male lead character of Om Shanti Om.

Moreover, there are some other things that will make you realize that how much competition is there between the two movies. Both the movies have been produced by two big production houses. Om Shanti Om is being produced by Red Chillies Entertainment owned by Shah Rukh Khan who has fame for his promotional skill. On the other hand, Saawariya is making from a Hollywood production house Sony Pictures. This is the first time, a Bollywood movie is going to be released from a Hollywood production house. So, you can understand that both the movies are strong enough to make it big in the box office.

To many, Saawariya and Om Shanti Om are going to be the most successful movies of this year. However, besides the competition between Saawariya and Om Shanti Om, there are some other competitions available around Saawariya and Om Shanti Om. Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor will be seen in the female lead roles of the two movies. Both the actresses are new in the industry. So, Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone will have to face some challenges from each other as both of them are considered to be the next star of Bollywood. So naturally there is a hidden competition between Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone though they are reluctant to admit it.

Deepika Padukone has already been a popular face as a super model in India. Moreover, she has earlier acted in a Kannada movie titled Aishwarya. So, the proposal of Om Shanti Om could not come as a surprise to her. However, for Sonam Kapoor, it was a surprise when Sanjay Leela Bhansali asked Sonam Kapoor to play the female lead role of Saawariya. If the fame of Deepika Padukone as a super model is an advantage for her ahead of the release of Om Shanti Om then Sonam Kapoor also has some advantages to her credit. Sonam Kapoor was the assistant director of Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the movie Black. So, she must have acquired a good knowledge of acting from Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee. Moreover, she is from a illustrious Kapoor family. Sonam Kapoor has also earned much attention as a daughter of Anil Kapoor. So, you can understand that how much competition the two newcomer have in them ahead of their debut movie.

So far, I have talked about the professional competition between Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. Now, let us come to the personal life competition between between them though much of them are rumor yet. The competition is reportedly for Ranbir Kapoor, the fourth generation of Kapoor family (no relation with Sonam Kapoor), who played the lead male character in Saawariya. It is almost known to all that Deepika Padukone has a romantic relationship with Ranbir Kapoor. Deepika Padukone even once talked about their relationship in the media. However, Ranbir’s parents did not want to make the relationship public thinking that it would have negative impact on the Ranbir’s career. Now, there is speculation in the media that Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor have been romantically involved to each other. That is why, it has been reported that Ranbir Kapoor has given up his relationship with Deepika Padukone.

Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor are childhood friends. So, if the rumors are considered to be true then the competition between Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor in professional life now will come to personal life as well. Anyway, everything is rumor still now. However, it is also true that many more rumors came true in the past in Bollywood. So, you should not become surprised if there is really something between Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor.

Now, ahead of the two aspiring movies of Bollywood, all are eagerly waiting to enjoy the battle. If the battle between Saawariya and Om Shanti Om is of outside then no doubt, the inside battle is now between Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor. Now, the question comes in is that if battle is for Ranbir Kapoor or for profession?
