Sonam Kapoor started off with a big film and is continuing in the same stream. After sharing screen space with Ranbir, for her next film it is Abhishek Bachchan for her company in ‘Dilli 6’.

Excerpts from an Interview:

How was the experience working with Abhishek?

Abhishek and I are very well-matched, height-wise. And though he's very mischievous I find him very mature. While Ranbir is someone I've grown up with, Abhishek is someone I can look up to as a co-star. He's really cool.

How has been shooting the film?

I'm learning so much from all my co-stars in Dilli 6. Abhishek and I, and our director Rakeysh Mehra are so much in awe of Waheeda Rehmanji. During rehearsals every time she reads a scene there's pindrop silence for a few minutes. We're all busy staring at her. When people, including Waheedaji herself, said I look like her I feel I'll just faint with pride. They schedule in Jaipur has been quite exhausting. I have been getting just about five hours of sleep per day to make up for lost time.

Is it because Abhishek reported for the shoot late?

Abhishek lost his grandmom and I lost my grandfather. I was very very close to him. And my one regret is I couldn't meet him before he passed away. The last I saw him was about a fortnight before his death. My Nanaji was loads of fun.

You have just rejected a film with one of the big banner production. Why?

I have said no to a very big project. The role was extremely sensuous. That's fine. But it also required a lot of nudity and there was one major lovemaking scene. It was a smashing opportunity for me to go beyond what I've done in Saawariya and my second film Dilli 6. But I can't do anything that I'm not comfortable with.

Sanjay and Rakeysh your directors, comes from different school of filmmaking. What difference did you notice in both?

Sanjay Sir would cover me up even when I walked from the set to my van. And now Rakeysh is worse! He wants to see me in nothing but salwar-kameez in Dilli 6. Because of my dad everyone treats me like a child. I can't be doing any role which would make my father, mother and the rest of my family cringe at the premiere. Call me a prude, but that's that way I am. My father has a 40-year reputation in the industry. And I'm not going to tarnish it. Working on Saawariya was like being part of an extended family. I'll always look on Sanjay Bhansali as a parent beyond my parents. Whatever I know about acting and cinema is because I was associated with him as an assistant and then an actress. Here with Rakeysh Mehra it's different, though equally enjoyable. I've been pampered silly during Saawariya. Now I'm learning to be much more professional.
