Important for me to play normal characters: Sonam

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Sonam Kapoor, who has clocked a year since her wedding to businessman Anand Ahuja, is in a happy space. The actress knows her heart lies in playing “normal” characters on-screen, in endorsing the fashion she believes in and in urging others to be themselves.

On the silver screen, Sonam will next be seen in “The Zoya Factor”, an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s book about a girl named Zoya Singh Solanki who ends up becoming a lucky charm for the cricket world cup team. What Sonam really loved about Zoya is the fact that she is a “huge mess”.

“A lot of girls tend to be like, ‘Listen, if I am such a mess, how am I ever going to succeed in life?’ But I want to say, it’s okay to be a mess. I think that’s what I said through Mili in ‘Khoobsurat’ and that’s what I liked about Zoya as well. I like to play girls who are regular and normal, who have regular problems because all of us have them,” Sonam told.
