Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor says her father and actor Anil Kapoor had cut her off when she turned 18, compelling her to make decisions in her personal as well professional lives.
“He said ‘you want to become an adult, become an adult’. I had to take responsibility and I did... and it is one of the best things anybody has ever done for me,” Kapoor said. “He said that ‘I never want to make a decision for you. I can tell you what is right or what is wrong but at the end you have to make your own decision’.”
And so, she said, “every misstep and every triumph” in her journey in the world of showbiz has been her own.
The actress, who has had her share of setbacks in the industry — be it with Saawariya or Mausam — also shared that she loves her father for taking this firm decision.
Kapoor, who earned praise for films such as Raanjhanaa and Neerja, told actress Tara Sharma in The Tara Sharma Show what it is like being a star kid. (The episode will air on Star World and Star World HD on Sunday.)
The Khoobsurat also says that even though she aspired to be like her father, initially she did not really want to become an actor.
She also mentions how she would like to start a family some day, but isn’t looking to settle down any time soon.
