Sonam Kapoor has always been very straight forward. She doesn’t mince her words before speaking her mind out in public. In a recent interview with a popular magazine, the actress was asked if she would want to work with Shah Rukh Khan any time soon. To this, she had answered:
"I don't think Shah Rukh Khan wants to work with me. There have been so many opportunities where I could have worked with him but he... I wanted to work with him and I reached out to him as well. But I never got the opportunity. I guess it'll happen whenever he feels like working with me."
Soon after, a popular daily asked her about this statement of her, to which she said that she didn’t say it the way it came out. Clearing the air, she said:
"Somebody asked me if I would like to work with SRK, and I said, 'Of course, I would love to work with him when he wants to.' I have just not had the opportunity. He is in a unique position, where he takes the calls (about picking the leading ladies of his films).
Yes, a lot of calls are taken by directors and I only work with those directors who take that call. So, all I said was that I will work with him when he wants to, and whenever there is a role and an opportunity. But whatever I said was misinterpreted."
Shah Rukh Khan even called Sonam up to check with her if the statement was true. Elaborating on this incident, Sonam said:
"Even Mr Khan called me up and asked if the statement was true. And I said, 'No, it's not. I didn’t say it like that. You have known me for many years and it is not what it is.' Since film-making is a collaborative effort, I will work with him when the director, actor, the rest of the cast and everyone else is in consensus about working with me. Till now, I have not had that chance. That’s all I said."
