sites, Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor is
very active and feels that as a public figure
it is her responsibility to comment on
important issues.
Also, she insists that issues command an
honest opinion.
"It is very irresponsible to be diplomatic on
certain things. Just because you are an
actress does not mean you can't have an
opinion," said the 28-year-old who is
active on Twitter.
"You can't be diplomatic on certain things.
I will never talk ill about an actress on a
personal front. But if it comes to important
things, then I should have an opinion,"
added the actress who struck gold with her
performance in Raanjhanaa.
Having an opinion isn't risky either.
"It is not risky if I have an opinion about
something important. If someone is being
sexist, homophobic or if the government is
wrong... I will say something. If I think I
have said something wrong, then I will
apologise for it," she said.
Daughter of Sunita and actor Anil Kapoor,
she feels her forthrightness sets an
example for other girls.
"If I am someone who is a public figure
and cannot have an opinion, the other girls
will get scared. I am not as popular as
other actresses, but I have a little bit of
popularity and I must use that to see how
girls are projected," she said.
In Raanjhanaa too, the actress played a public figure involved in
college politics,
but dismissed any similarity between her
and her character.
"Zoya is different from me. She is involved
in the politics of JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru
University). Sometimes when other public
figures like politicians and spiritual gurus
make some stupid remark, I react to it like
other young people on a social platform. I don't think there is
anything wrong in it as
it encourages other young girls to come
forward," she said.
