Sonam Kapoor, who has taken Aishwarya Rai Bachchan head on, has now added one more feather to her cap to further strengthen her stand that she is anytime a better bet than the other as a face of, if not the world, but Asia.
Well, in glam world, nothing happens without contacts and pulling right things at right time. Thus, the girl who was ridiculed at Cannes by Aishwarya and could not get the support from the authorities who promised her the walk on red carpet, Sonam got a gift in the form of an invite by Hollywood Reporter. Right strings at right place ensured the birthday girl who turned 24 yesterday, getting named in an article about “the next generation of leaders in the rapidly evolving Asian entertainment sector”.
What else will one think about a person who has so far not made a valuable contribution in both the films she figured? There is no qualification apart from being daughter of a famous film personality who also does not have a market now.
Without any acting capability and without any great achievements apart from being a deputy to Sanjay Bhansali in directing ‘Black’, what is there to her credit today? A spat with Aishwarya so that she gets noticed?
A face in L’Oreal does not merely mean a leader of next generation. One has to spend time to read her interview to realise something that may probably lie hidden from public eyes as her achievement.
Her comments that she would be choosy when an offer arrives from Hollywood speak volumes of her overconfidence on her talents as well as the dearth of heroines in Hollywood.
Who knows, she may turn out to be yet another Freida Pinto who made it big after her stint in Slumdog Millionaire without figuring actually in any Bollywood movies.
Anything may happen if your father has some influence and when you are representing an International brand.
