I make sure that Sundays are fun days: Sonam Kapoor

It’s been a while since actress Sonam Kapoor's been able to “enjoy the luxury of a Sunday” thanks to her gruelling promotional activities prior to her recent release and equally hectic shooting schedules before that. But the young star reveals that whenever she does have her Sundays, she makes sure that they are extra special days.

“I make sure that Sundays are fun days,” she exclaims. “I just do everything that I don't get the time to do on a regular basis, and that includes going out with friends, curling up with books in bed, watching movies or simply going to some weekend getaway," says Sonam.

“You know as actors we hardly get our Sundays off, so these days that are usually so taken for granted become that much more special for us. All through the week, we hardly get time to spend on your self or pursue any hobby. So, in that one day, there’s so much catching up to do,” shares Sonam.

“In between all that there's also family time that I try to squeeze out. This is also something that I look forward to. Even as kids, mum would make sure that Sundays are our crazy days, when we'd go out for picnics and catch up with cousins and all.”

Sonam says that even if it’s not going out with friends or family, she enjoys time with herself. “Getting up late, a lazy brunch, then staying in bed curled up with an interesting book, and then in the evening stepping out for a long drive or movie is fun too. But nowadays, I think we spent half our lives in traveling alone, considering we are stuck in traffic forever, so long drives are not something that excite too much unless it’s driving out of town ofcourse,” she laughs. “I am not too much of a party animal, but I like friendly get-togethers with my friends, so if need be, I try to pack that in too.”

But the actress says that there are days when she doesn’t like to do anything at all. “I won’t mind spending the entire day in bed sleeping, if I’d had a rather hectic week too,” says Sonam.

A little known fact that Sonam also reveals about herself is that she bakes and thinks that it’s a great way to unwind. “Yes I love baking and am pretty good at it too," she smiles.

“For me, it’s something that helps me de-stress and it’s something that I enjoy a lot,”she says, adding, “Cakes are a specialty and I also experiment a lot with cupcakes and the other goodies.” Among other things, Sonam’s also a good cook. “Oh I can put together things, but I’m more of a baker than a cook,” she smiles.
