Sonam Kapoor: I had styled myself in ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’
Mumbai– Actress Sonam Kapoor, who is known for her fashion sense, spoke about when she styled herself in her film ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’.
Sonam said: “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was a film which reached the length and breadth of India. It was one of my films which worked very, very well and Anamika had done all the clothes that I had worn. I had styled myself in the film; the western wear was what I had picked up, but all my Indian wear was designed by Anamika Khanna.”
Sonam added: “I remember going to a couple of weddings and I saw a lot of girls wearing the same clothes, and I thought that was wonderful.”
“I realised that is the power of cinema. I didn’t understand it initially and Sooraj ji (Barjatya) told me that there was this green sari that Madhuri (Dixit) had worn in one of his films and the lilac and yellow sari which Amrita (Rao) had worn and these outfits had really worked.”
She further added: “Sooraj ji was like, ‘these are the colours that I want, and you will see that it will work’. In my late 20’s, a lot of my friends were getting married at that time and I was going for these weddings and I saw a lot of them wearing these same Anamika outfits that I wore in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and I found that so amazing and felt so happy and proud!”
Sonam said that she has never followed any handbook on fashion.
“I am a Gemini, so every time I wake up in the morning, I feel I have a different mood everyday and I am a different person everyday. And I think the one way we can express ourselves is through what we wear. I feel, like anybody you see with whatever they wear, we can tell who they are, as people. It is one form of expression,” she concluded.
Sushmita Sen reveals she shot action sequence for ‘Aarya 3’ after heart attack
Mumbai– Actress Sushmita Sen, who had suffered a heart attack during the filming of the third season of her hit streaming show ‘Aarya’, elaborated on how the environment and set-up on shoot helped her ease into the process.
‘Aarya’ is synonymous with strength, someone who can command a storm and be one too. However, Sushmita Sen, who plays this character is no less fierce. After a deadly health scare, Sushmita jumped right back into the shoes of Aarya Sareen.
Opening up about returning to the sets of the show, Sushmita said: “I was itching to get back to work and I believe the longer you sit and ponder about a situation, you give it the chance to engulf you. The only way to move past any life challenge is to keep forging ahead and all I needed was the green light from my doctor to proceed.”
“Earlier on, I didn’t think shooting action sequences just one month after my heart attack was possible but the trust I had in my team was enough,” said the former Miss Universe.
Sushmita added: “My confidence in returning to the set stemmed from knowing I had the necessary support anytime I needed it – whether it was people or even medical support – we had a complete hospital setup, doctors, an ambulance, and everything ready as we resumed shooting.”
In the third season, Aarya has her eyes set on the supply and transportation of the narcotic drug but is intercepted by Ila Arun, who herself is the undisputed queen on the supply side.
Created and co-directed by the visionary Ram Madhvani and co-produced by Amita Madhavni, Ram Madhvani Films and Endemol Shine India, ‘Aarya 3’ will air on Disney+ Hotstar from November 3.
Meanwhile, Sushmita was also seen in the web series ‘Taali’. The show brings to life the inspiring journey of transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant, portrayed by Sushmita. It is created by Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartk D. Nishandar, and directed by Ravi Jadhav.
