Sonam Kapoor Thrilled To See ‘Prem Ratan’ Styles Imitated

MUMBAI, (IANS) – Actress Sonam Kapoor, who is known for her fashion sense, recently noted, “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was a film which reached the length and breadth of India. It was one of my films which worked very, very well and Anamika had done all the clothes that I had worn. I had styled myself in the film; the western wear was what I had picked up, but all my Indian wear was designed by Anamika Khanna.”

Sonam added: “I remember going to a couple of weddings and I saw a lot of girls wearing the same clothes, and I thought that was wonderful.”

“I realized that is the power of cinema. I didn’t understand it initially and Sooraj ji (Barjatya) told me that there was this green sari that Madhuri (Dixit) had worn in one of his films and the lilac and yellow sari which Amrita (Rao) had worn, and these outfits had worked.”

She further added: “Sooraj ji was like, ‘These are the colors that I want, and you will see that it will work’. In my late 20s, a lot of my friends were getting married at that time, and I was going to these weddings, I saw a lot of them wearing the same Anamika outfits that I wore in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, and I found that so amazing and felt so happy and proud!”

Sonam said that she has never followed any handbook on fashion.

“I am a Gemini, so every time I wake up in the morning, I feel I have a different mood every day and I am a different person every day. And I think the one way we can express ourselves is through what we wear. I feel like anybody you see with whatever they wear, we can tell who they are, as people. It is one form of expression,” she concluded.
