“I had styled myself in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo,” says Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor’s influence on the fashion landscape in India is undisputed. She realised that when she styled herself in her blockbuster Prem Ratan Dhan Payo! Sonam reveals, “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 adds, “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 says, “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 is also an entrepreneur who is heavily invested in fashion through her business ventures like Rheason and Bhaane. She says she has never followed any handbook on fashion to become the style icon that she is today. The actor says, “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.”

On the work front, Sonam Kapoor will be seen in two tentpole projects starting next year, one being Battle For Bittora and the other has been kept under wraps.

Priyanka Chopra says people cautioned her for Fashion: “Ladkiyan female-oriented films career ke end mein karti hai”

Priyanka Chopra arrived in India over the weekend for the opening ceremony of the Jio MAMI Film Festival 2023. On Sunday, she was a part of a masterclass alongside Bhumi Pednekar where she talked about her film Fashion which gave her a huge boost in her career. However, she was told not to do female female-oriented projects at the time.

Priyanka Chopra said, “Before Krrish and Aitraaz, it was always there, ‘Oh my God, what’s the next (movie) one I’m going to do? What is the opportunity that is going to come to me?’ I picked from what came to me. After Aitraaz and Krrish, I had done work which gave me a solid foundation. I got critical acclaim. I had people telling me ‘I know my job’, even though I didn’t know I knew my job. That is when I started seeking work that would challenge me.”

She added, “I took the decision of signing Fashion right after Krrish, and at that time I was told, ‘Ladkiyan (leading actress) female-oriented films career ke end mein karti hai, National Award ke liye. You have just done Krrish, Aitraaz, female-oriented films kyun kar rahe ho?’ Uss zamane mein itna hota bhi nahi tha (Girls do female-oriented films at the end of their career, for National Award. You have just done Krrish, Aitraaz, female-oriented films, why are you doing this?’ This did not even happen in those times).”

She said that she had loved Madhur Bhandarkar’s vision and the script. She called it a ‘passion project’ which went on to become a huge part of her career and won her a National Award.

On the work front, Priyanka Chopra was last seen in Citadel season 1 on Prime Video, which has been renewed for season 2 and Love Again movie. She has signed an action thriller Heads of State starring John Cena and Idris Elba.
