Sonam Kapoor credits AR Rahman with making her a household name through his song Masakali

Highlights

  • Actress Sonam Kapoor feels lucky that maestro A R Rahman has composed music for two of her films - Delhi 6 and Raanjhanaa.
  • It was in Rakesh Omprakash Mehra's directorial venture Delhi 6 that Rahman churned out a song Masakali which was featured on Sonam. The song became so famous that people started calling Sonam as the Masakali girl.
  • "It was because of Rahman that people started calling me Masakali. That is the impact that the song had. He adds life to everything. He is a genius and a very modest person. I feel privileged and blessed that he has given music to two of my films," Sonam told reporters at the promotional event of Raanjhanaa.
  • Her on screen, Raanjhanaa south actor Dhanush, too couldn't stop talking about Rahman. "How can one forget the pigeon song of Sonam (Masakali)? He gives melodious music which people can never forget," he said.
  • Sonam is quite happy to share screen space with Dhanush in the film which marks his debut in Bollywood. "For me Dhanush is the Raanjhanaa. No one can be like him. He is innocent and sweet," she said.
  • Even Sonam's actor father Anil Kapoor was all praise for Dhanush, after looking at the promo of Raanjhanaa, she said. "My dad was just talking about Dhanush, how good he is in the film, how he has acted and etc. When I asked him about me, he said you are also good and again started talking about Dhanush," she said.
  • Sonam even went on to say that in real life too, she would love to have someone like Dhanush in her life. "I think there are no good boys in Bombay...I think I will have to go to Tamil Nadu to find a guy for me," she chuckled.
  • "Anytime I fall in love I feel it's a first time. I have had no successful love story yet. I hope I will succeed next time when I fall in love," she said.
