Entertainment Desk: Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor on Tuesday said filmmakers have preferred to cast her in girl-next-door parts rather than giving her the chance to star in a movie that will need her to wear heavy costumes and jewellery.
At the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival panel discussion on ‘The Art of Costume Design – Celebrating the book and the legacy of Bhanu Athaiya’, the actor, known for sartorial fashion choices off the screen, said she feels boxed in the image of a simpleton in films.
“I’ve done period dramas but for some reason, every director, even though I’m known for my clothes, every director likes me in simple clothes and no make-up. I’m always (playing) the girl-next-door. I’ve never done a period film with jewellery and Indian clothes.
