Mumbai, June 16: Yes, there’s tremendous speculation on that one. But Anil Kapoor has refrained from making any statement on his daughter Sonam’s decision to join films.
“Sonam did assist Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the making of Black. She’s inclined towards movies and as parents, Sunita and I’ve always believed in giving our children the freedom to choose the path they intend treading in their lives,” Anil tells me.
It’s said that Bhansali has signed Sonam for the teenage love story that he is planning currently. “No, that’s not true. Sonam hasn’t signed any film yet,” the doting father divulges. He continues in the same breath, “It’s so important to explore the field thoroughly before you embark on the journey. Learning the ropes of film-making always helps.”
Anil knows that better, since he too started his career as a production helper in his father’s home-productions.
