Perhaps Sonam Kapoor wants to be known for being more than just a style diva! The stylish actress who has become very popular in a relatively short span of time, has come a long way since her Bollywood debut Saawariya, in which she was paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor. But, she seems discontent with her performance in her initial films Thank You and Players.

She has just returned from Cannes film festival, where she grabbed too many eyeballs! So busy is this fashionista that she started shooting for her next film with Ayushmann Khurrana, immediately after she returned to India. Speaking about her old film projects, she said, “Even before Thank You, and Players hit the theatres, I realised my life was not going the way I wanted. I was working on big projects, but I wasn’t comfortable. I realised I had not earned my right to be there. I needed to be a better actor. Was I being hard on myself? Maybe, but that’s the truth! “

Apparently, Sonam was very upset with her role and performance in Players and had decided to hang her boots for a while! But papa Anil prevailed upon her and pumped some confidence into sulking Sonam. Talking about it, Sonam Kapoor says, “There was no point no point trying to be something that I was not. I needed to switch off. I needed a break,” She now has a couple of big projects lined up, which might give her the much needed change in perception!

She has great expectations from her new film Raanjhanaa. Ask her about relationships and she says, “Who says I wasn’t always single? I think not being in a relationship is good for me, it’s easier working this way. I just want to be on sets now, nowhere else.” Will she get the tag of a fine actor, that she craves?

A special project to mark 100 years of Indian cinema, the anthology film “Bombay Talkies” brings on the screen four different stories put together by directors Zoya Akhtar, Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibaker Banerjee, respectively.

There was a special screening of the film Monday before its commercial release Friday and it seems to have appealed to the celebrity audience.

The celebs took to Twitter to praise the movie. Here is what they have to say:

Ayushmann Khurrana: Finally saw ‘Bombay Talkies’. (I) felt very big while being a very small part of Indian cinema.

Riteish Deshmukh: ‘Bombay Talkies’ will shock you, entertain you, enthrall you. Zoya, Anurag, Dibakar and Karan – thank you for this wonderful cinematic experience.

Konkona Sen Sharma: Laughed and cried while watching ‘Bombay Talkies’. Four fine, sensitive films and super performances.

Rahul Khanna: Just watched a screening of ‘Bombay Talkies’ and it was absolutely outstanding. Congratulations Karan, Dibaker, Zoya and Anurag. And a big congratulations to the cast of ‘Bombay Talkies’. Such fine, fearless performances in all four films.

Sidharth Malhotra: Four directors, four films, four brilliant cinema experiences. ‘Bombay Talkies’ a must watch people.

Genelia D’souza: Watched ‘Bombay Talkies’. Highly recommend, sensitive, sensible, sweet… Well done Karan, Zoya, Dibakar and Anurag.

Bombay Talkies will also have a gala screening at the prestigious Cannes International Film Festival, which begins May 15.

“Some people presumed I was just being myself in ‘Vicky Donor’, a Punjabi boy trying to find my bearings in life. I had to work much harder on this character in ‘Nautanki Saala’. I had to get into a different skin. And the bromance between me and Kunal Roy Kapoor is immensely liked.

“I was lucky to have him as my co-star. Just like Annu Kapoor, who was such a help in ‘Vicky Donor’, Kunal gave my character a perspective and a concentrated energy. Beyond that, I never have any expectation from life,” he added.

The one good thing that has come out of the “Nautanki Saala” experience is Ayushmann’s friendship with Kunal.

“He is a terrific guy, and an experienced actor. He has been doing theatre for 15 years, so he’s my senior. (He is) a very down-to-earth guy. It was fun working with him. You know, I’ve never experienced any viciousness in the industry, or in my life. That way, I’ve lived a sheltered life.

“During my growing-up years in Chandigarh, or even in Mumbai, I’ve never come across nasty people. I’ve only heard of it but never seen the bad side of the film industry. Of course I was rejected many times over in auditions. But I wouldn’t call that rude,” said the 28-year-old.

Today, Ayushmann has acquired the reputation of being picky about his roles.

“Every actor has to be careful about the work he does,” Ayushmann said in defence.

“I want to make sure the characters that I do give me a chance to broaden my horizon as an actor. But my first two films were quirky. I’d also like to do conventional parts. Every role can’t be out-of-the-box. I’d like to do something in the box now. In fact, the Yash Raj Films’ movie that I am doing with Sonam Kapoor is far more conventional than my first two films,” he said.

Ayushmann’s wife lives in Chandigarh with their one-year old son Virajer. In Mumbai, the actor misses them acutely even as his post-debut film fetches him a fresh crop of accolades.

“I do wish my wife Tahira and my son were here with me in Mumbai. But she is doing her Phd in our home town Chandigarh. I don’t get to see my son much. The past year has been the busiest time of my life,” sighs Ayushmann.

Ayushmann visited his wife and son in Chandigarh for three days recently.

“I’d love to have them with me permanently. But I’d like my son to grow up in Chandigarh,” he said.

Whatever the audience response may have been, Ayushmann was thrilled to get his wife’s approval for his performance in “Nautanki Saala”.

“She’s my most honest critic. I constantly try to get a compliment out of her when we’re together. I was thrilled when she saw ‘Nautanki Saala’ and said I’ve improved as an actor,” he said.

Sonam Kapoor walked the ramp for ace designer Manish Malhotra at the launch of ‘Colgate Visible White’. She may have gone de-glam in her new movie Raanjhanaa, but the fashionista looked every bit of diva on the runway.

She was later joined by the designer Manish himself. Both Sonam and Manish have been roped in as the brand ambassador for ‘Colgate Visible White toothpaste’. Manish Malhotra had organized entire summer line of clothing based on red and white keeping the brand in mind.

Flaunting her toned abs and curvy hot-bod, Sonam looked exquisite in a bright red lehenga-choli with silver embroidery.

Speaking about her new endorsement Sonam revealed, “I just don’t endorse brand like that, I myself use it and only then become a brand ambassador of the same.”

Ayushmann Khurrana, Hard Kaur, Shaina NC, Krishika Lulla were also spotted at the event.

Saddi Gali Aaja – Nautanki Saala

Ayushmann Khurrana made our hearts melt when he sang “Paani Da” in Vicky Donor. He did it again in his next movie Nautanki Saala with Saddi Gali Aaja song. Enjoy this soulful song .

Tum Hi Ho – Aashiqui 2

When Aashiqui released in 1994, the music created a huge madness among the public. Well the sequel seems to be going in the same direction. With the song Tum Hi Ho, the makers have ensured that the song is stuck in your head.

Badtameez Dil – Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani

With crazy lyrics combined with wacky style of Ranbir Kapoor acting, this song has turned out to be a ripper. All thanks to Pritam. This song has already hit the right chord with the audience.

Yaaram – Ek Thi Daayan

Given the super natural theme of Ek thi Daayan, Yaaram leaves with that eerie feeling in you. Gulzar lyrics are absolutely perfect for this song. I love the way the song escalates from slow song to a foot tapping fast song.

Slowly Slowly Song – Go Goa Gone

This song is so good that it is one of the few Bollywood songs that has caught the attention of DJ Avicii and he too has liked the song very much and is remixing the song in his concert. Listen to this song and get swooned by it .
