I’m not in awe of Hollywood: Sonam Kapoor

Actress Sonam Kapoor may be only a few years old in Bollywood, but she’s already getting several offers from Hollywood. The last one was to play a cameo in the recently released Julia Roberts starrer Eat, Pray, Love, that she’d turned down, apart from another Ben Stiller film.

However, it seems like the actor is in no rush to give in to international temptations and has been politely declining the offers. Not many are aware that Kapoor's also turned down an offer to audition for the lead in a major Hollywood production.

Surprisingly, Kapoor herself chooses not to talk about it. “It’s okay if I talk about films that I sign up for. What’s the point in talking about films that I’ve turned down?” she questions. However, she clarifies that it’s not like she wouldn’t want to work in Hollywood at all. “I’d love to do a film there someday, but I’m not in awe of Hollywood,” she asserts. “What’s more important for me is that I first build a strong identity as an actor in Bollywood. I want to reach the level of respectability that my dad’s (Anil Kapoor) got as an actor, before I take on any roles out there,” adds Kapoor, who’s currently shooting for Pankaj Kapur’s Mausam with Shahid Kapur.
