Honesty not appreciated in film industry: Sonam Kapoor

Mumbai: Carefree actress Sonam Kapoor has come to learn that she needs to be "careful" with her words in an industry where statements can be "twisted and distorted"

Sonam`s father Anil Kapoor had recently said that Sonam`s bikini shot would get `Bewakoofiyan` a good opening. Refuting this, the actress said: "My father never said that. All that I said at a press meet was that my father feels the film would get a good opening. That statement found itself bonding with the bikini in the newspaper headlines. "I`ve realized I have to be very careful in what I say. I speak my heart out. Such honesty is not appreciated in the film industry. Instead, it is twisted and distorted. A lot of what I say is lost in translation." Actresses often credit the decision of wearing a bikini on screen to the "demand of the script" or the director, but Sonam Kapoor says it was her own decision to flaunt the two-piece garment in her film `Bewakoofiyaan`. And she wasn`t tense about it. "It wasn`t the producer Aditya Chopra or the director Nupur Asthana`s idea that I wear a bikini. In fact, the director suggested a one-piece bathing costume. But I thought a bikini was fine," said the saucy actress. It`s no big deal, she feels. "If you see the trailer, there are two young people going for swim. It`s perfectly natural for the girl to be in a bikini. It`s not Halle Berry in a James Bond film or Bipasha Basu in `Dhoom` making a splash. "The bikini blends naturally into the scene. And I am very happy to be wearing one. Having a female director around helped. But I wasn`t really tense about wearing a bikini," she said.
