Sonam Kapoor: ‘Being Anil Kapoor’s daughter, I have opportunities that others don’t get’

Bollywood’s leading lady Sonam Kapoor has risen to the top of her career and garnered ample success but the diva terms her risk-taking abilities to be one of the determining factors.

Speaking to an entertainment portal, ‘The Zoya Factor’ actor opened up about the privileges that she received in her career owing to her father Anil Kapoor’s star status, but still puts emphasis on the hard work that is required to reach the top.

“After you come to a certain position, you should be able to take risks. Like I am Anil Kapoor’s daughter and I have a lot of opportunities that other girls don’t have, but nobody goes anywhere without hard work and talent,” she said.

“But at the end of the day, it’s up to people who are born into privilege to make the harder choices. I like to take risks,” she added.

“I don’t even remember the last time I ever had self-doubt, because my last unsuccessful film was eight to nine years ago. I don’t remember that, but even though when I wasn’t doing well, I don’t think I ever felt like that. I was 25 when I did such films, so the impact is not much when you are younger. But when you are older and things don’t work, that affects you way more than when you were younger. I don’t think I have self-doubts. Obviously it hurts, but you have to move on,” she continued.
