When Sonam Kapoor reacted to her comparison with Deepika Padukone: 'I am Anil Kapoor's daughter, born with...'

Bollywood actress and fashionista Sonam Kapoor, who has been away from the big screen for quite some time, was compared to Deepika Padukone as the duo debuts clashed at the box office with Saawariya and Om Shanti Om.

While Ranbir Kapoor starrer failed at the box office, Shah Rukh Khan’s movie turned out to be a huge success. At a press conference for the 54th Idea Filmfare Awards, Sonam Kapoor, who was 23 at that time, made it clear that she didn’t see herself as an ‘underdog’ despite her first film flopped.

“I did my first film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and my second film with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. These are big names and I am on top of the world,” adding, “I am not at all an underdog. I am Anil Kapoor’s daughter. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.”

She also reacted to Deepika bagging the Filmfare Best Debut award instead of her and said, “Awards are important and it was important for me to win one for ‘Saawariya’. I was quite upset that I didn’t get the award.”

Talking about the comparison, she said, “I can’t compare myself with Deepika. She is doing mostly commercial roles and I am not. She is signing more films, but I want to do one film at a time. It takes nearly a year for a film to be made and that’s why I am being seen lesser than her.”
