Sonam Kapoor Opens Up About How Much Effort It Took To Make ‘Khoobsurat’, When No Bollywood Actor Wanted To Work With Her

Sonam Kapoor has had one of a ride in Bollywood. She started off with Saanwariya which became the biggest flop of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The actress then went on to work in movies like Dilli 6, Aisha and many more but all of them turned out to be a dud on the box office. She made her mark in the industry with the movie Neerja and her career graph hasn’t seen a downward slope ever since. Well, during a recent interview with Filmfare, Sonam spoke about her whirlwind journey in Bollywood. She said, “Initially when I came in the industry, everyone said she’s born with a silver spoon. They didn’t know that I had auditioned for Saawariya (2007), Delhi 6 (2009), and every film I’ve worked in. I just was able to have the initial meeting. That was it!”

The Neerja actress further added, “I can’t explain how difficult it was to make Aisha (2010). Do you know how much effort it took to make Khoobsurat? No hero wanted to work with me because it was called Khoobsurat. I had to get Fawad Khan from Pakistan. And look what happened! Fawad became a huge star. He had the confidence.”
