Sonam Kapoor, who is riding high with the success of ‘Neerja’, says that she doesn’t want to be just a hot Indian girl in West.
When the actress was asked if she would like to follow the foot-steps of her colleagues by going to Hollywood, she said, "I would like to take my projects to the West. I do not want to be the hot Indian girl there. I have worked very hard not to be this exotic Indian girl in India. I have worked very hard to the point where I could get to do a film like ‘Neerja’ and be taken seriously. I do not want to start all over again!"
"If I can get something with a lot of gravitas, I would definitely want to do it. I would approach them myself. If it’s a great role, why not? But if it has something right and which attracts me. For me, conquering the world is not important. For me conquering and honing my craft is more important. It doesn’t matter what language I get to work in, as long as I get to explore something about myself and explore a character that I want to do. I will make a decision based on the fact that there’s something that I can do in it,” she added.
The actress further said, “There has to be something much more… There are so many roles being written, so why not? I want a strong, amazing character. Films like ‘Neerja’ have a lot of potential of crossing over. Look at how well The Lunchbox and Masaan were received. They crossed international barriers."
