My booty is sexy: Sonam Kapoor

Ever since actress Sonam Kapoor stepped into the industry she’s always been known for her sweet-girl-next-door kind of image. But her forthcoming film sees her ditch her cute self for a hot new glam avatar. Her sexy make-over may have surprised many, but Sonam says that in fact, it’s much closer to the real her. As After Hrs catches up with the pretty actor, she gives us a glimpse of the wild child that she really is:

From sweet to sexy, it’s been quite an image make-over for you in Players. So who is the real Sonam?
I don’t think there’s been any image makeover as such. As an actor I only do what my role requires. But people tend to make their own assumptions about how I am in real life too, based on the characters they’ve seen me play on screen. The fact is that I am nothing like anything I’ve played on screen yet.

So are you more sexy than sweet in real life?
Yes, I think so!

What do you think is the sexiest thing about you?
Apart from my attitude, I think my butt is sexy (laughs)! It got me more compliments than my dresses did at Cannes definitely.

You are also known to be quite an adrenaline junkie among your friends. What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever done?
Sky diving apart, I think the wildest thing I’d done was to get my tongue pierced. But then I got rid of the ring when I entered Bollywood.

So, how was it getting to do all that action on screen?
I’ve enjoyed it so much, I would definitely want to do more of it. Something like a Kill Bill. But I would change her (actor Uma Thurman) jumpsuit and the colour too (laughs).

Your dad (actor Anil Kapoor) is making a foray into TV production. Is TV on your list too?
I haven’t given TV any thought yet. So, nothing’s on the cards for now.
