The New Man in Sonam Kapoor's Life

The New Man in Sonam Kapoor's Life

Sonam and Fawad at the launch of the trailer of Khubsoorat

Highlights

  • Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor has found herself in some pretty Khoobsurat company for her next film. Sonam's Prince Charming is Pakistani heartthrob actor Fawad Khan, who already seems to have a fan base in India judging from the reactions on Twitter.
  • The only reason I'm gonna watch #Khoobsurat is for Fawad Khan

  • Saw the Khoobsurat's teaser on facebook. Color me impressed, and I sort of have a crush on Fawad Khan.

  • So, just who is Fawad Khan? Well, he started out as a singer in Pakistan in the group Entity Paradigm and then went on to become a highly successful actor in television serials Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai. It seems that Fawad has made the cross-border transition to Bollywood rather smoothly, though playing the brooding foil to madcap Sonam couldn't have been easy.
  • Apart from Fawad, Khubsoorat also features heavyweight actors such as Ratna Pathak Shah, who seems to be in stellar form as a regal matriarch - a role she inherits from her mother Dina Pathak who played the stern disciplinarian in the original Hrishikesh Mukherjee hit. Kirron Kher, who plays Sonam's outspoken mother in the film, is also in fine fettle. Theatre star Aamir Raza Husain is also part of the supporting cast and plays a member of the royal family Sonam is thrown together with.
  • We're certainly getting a Princess Diaries feel from the movie and it seems that the Kapoors, including Sonam's sister Rhea and her father Anil, who have co-produced the film, have managed to court not just Prince Charming, but a very royal cast as well. Watch
