Fashion diva Sonam Kapoor tells she turned down a modelling offer
by ace photographer-producer Atul Kasbekar to follow a career in acting.
Sonam, daughter of actor Anil Kapoor, entered into Bollywood
with Ranbir Kapoor in 2007 with "Saawariya".
During an episode of "Vogue BFFs", she told,
"I remember it was at a party which was for a cosmetic company, in 2006, I
think. This tall person walks up to me -- which is Atul -- and he's like, 'Oh
my God, do you want to model?' I had just started acting in 'Saawariya'. And I
wasn't out at all, publicly, because my parents had kept me away from the press
and the paps (paparazzi) and everything."
"So nobody knew what I looked like or anything," Sonam
added. "One of my friends was a make-up artist, so I just went for her
party, just for fun! Nobody took pictures of me at that point. And I have Atul
walking up to me and saying, 'Do you want to model?' So I said him, 'I am
already acting in a movie!'."
To that, Kasbekar told her: "Ok, good...good."
