Khoobsurat star couple Sonam Kapoor and |Fawad Khan have been kept busy in recent |weeks promoting their movie – which opened at Suncoast Cinema on Friday. In this exclusive interview OneIndia.in’s Priyanka Prasad got to |chat with the actors…Sonam Kapoor
Commenting generally on the movie… There are very few films these days which a 6-year-old and a 60-year-old can watch together. This is a sweet love story which will be loved by all.
One quality of Fawad Khan that you like?
He is really respectful towards people and that’s a rare quality these days. People can be quite harsh and they are not nice to other people anymore. People seem nice but they are not and this is everywhere you know? From a corporate environment to media and movies… Fawad is just not like that, he can never be harsh to someone or say something to insult people.
How close are you to your on-screen character in Khoobsurat?
I am the royal misfit in the film, I am an extremely inappropriate person who wears weird clothes and behaves weirdly in the movie. I think very close, in a lot of ways we are similar. Like, I do believe in myself and I believe if someone loves you then they should love you for who are and should not try to change you. I believe there has to be a certain self-confidence in a person and a lot of values that Milli endorses in the film are the values I endorse as well.

Who is your inspiration or role model in acting?
Marlon Brando and so many actors from India. The actors whose work I really admire are Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui… That pretty much conveys my preferences in movies, but having said that, I like what Ranbir Kapoor has been doing as well.
Is there any other actress apart from Sonam Kapoor who you’d like work with?
Everyone is great, from Kareena Kapoor to Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt, the list keeps going on and on. Everyone has been giving such amazing performances but if there is one actress who has left me spellbound with her work, it’s Manisha Koirala. I have really enjoyed her performances.
What do you think you most need to work on as an actor?
Well, dancing is one of the major minus points for me. My memory is another one; my visual memory is not that good. Whatever I read, I remember for only a very short time.
What would you consider Sonam Kapoor’s best attributes?
She speaks her heart, and that is any person’s plus point. That’s what I look forward to in people I meet, that they should be honest and nice. Sonam is exactly that, she is very honest. – oneindia.in
