Sonam Kapoor recently talked about love and relationship's with Filmfare. Here is the interview for you...
"So what are you going to ask me?” Sonam wants to know to interviewer.He tell her he will be quizzing her on love and other animals. “Nooo I’ll sound so dumb...” she wails. Right, let’s do a thesis on nuclear physics instead then. But I daren’t suggest it even in jest. This is the girl who is currently reading a book on the history of math. Part geek, part giggles, all girl. That’s Sonam Kapoor for you. Excerpts:
The craziest thing you’ve done in a relationship?
Taking off in the middle of the night and driving for ages to get to where I need to be to apologise.
What’s a deal breaker for you?
Cheating. No two ways about it. And interfering with my work.
Your last relationship taught you that…
There is no such thing as try, try again. A man will change for you as much as he intends to in the first flush of your relationship, in the first few months. But that’s about it. Don’t expect to get into a relationship thinking you can change a man. You can’t.
Best way to get over a breakup
Hang out with your girls. Party hard. Make that bonfire. Burn all the stuff he gave you. It actually helps. Do not, I repeat, do not hook up on the rebound.
Virginity — how soon how late?
Sex is a different ballgame for men and women. For men, to quote Frieda Kahlo ‘Sex is like taking a piss.’ It’s just another bodily function. Women are far more emotional about it. I know I’m generalising but it’s mostly true. You should surrender your virginity only to someone you really trust and care about. It shouldn’t lead to regret.
What’s a fantasy proposal for you?
Okay I really love the smell of old books. And I love libraries. Oh god I sound so geeky. But I really would like to be proposed to in one of those ancient European style libraries with bookshelves that reach the ceiling. I want us to be seated on those antique super heavy tables and I want him to hand me the first edition of my favourite book. The inscription inside should read, “Will you marry me?” And there has to be champagne of course. Even if it’s a library and they may not allow it in.
Three things women should never be apologetic about?
Their bust size, their job and their intelligence.
The last time you were in love…
I was clueless. And I drove around like a lunatic in the rains because I thought it was a romantic thing to do.
Would you go on a blind date?
It’s usually a bad idea but I just might because I am a little reckless. And sometimes fate can play funny games with you. And sometimes your friends can actually know what kind of guy you want.
Ever been a victim of bad matchmaking?
Honestly speaking whenever I have been set up its gone horribly wrong. It’s been embarrassing or controversial. But whenever I have match made it’s gone really well. I am Aisha in real life.
You think a couple can remain friends after a breakup?
Yes. I am friends with my ex boyfriends. It’s possible.
You know what they say, if ex lovers are friends it means they are still in love or were never in love…
Well in that case, I guess I was never in love.
Have you ever had to use a fake exit strategy for a date that’s going really badly?
Unfortunately yes. I always use the mom card. ‘Mom’s calling and I have to go…” and I have this number on my phone listed as Mom. Only, it’s not her. That’s the ploy I used on the last date that was nightmarish.
So tell us about this date…
Hmmm… okay, I was out for dinner with this guy. And it was going really well until he burped. Like really loudly. I don’t know if it was the food or what. We shall not analyse the reasons for his flatulence but it was so embarrassing. I don’t know who was more embarrassed, me or him. And as much I felt really sorry for him and I knew it wasn’t his fault, I just couldn’t sit there anymore. So I used my exit strategy and bolted the hell out of there.
Do you find any of your heroes desirable?
Salman (Khan) is so hot. And he smells so good.
Do you believe in happily ever after?
I do. I have seen a lot of happy marriages around me — my parents my grandparents… And I read too many romantic novels to not believe in it.
