Sonam struggles to make her own mark

NEW DELHI: Being a star children comes with its own advantages but actress Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor says it is a constant struggle to make her own mark while living up to the legacy of her father Anil Kapoor.

Sonam stars in an upcoming biopic Neerja, the story of a young flight attendant, who was shot dead by terrorists while trying to save the lives of passengers on a hijacked flight.

The movie aims to inspire youth to be fearless and when asked what’s her biggest fear, Sonam said, “I have a lot of fears but the biggest is not to live up to my father’s name.

Everybody reminds me of this every day. I face this fear every day. People say, ‘Oh she is Anil Kapoor’s daughter. Is she?’

“It is heartbreaking but at the same time it gives me strength because I love being my father’s daughter and I don’t want anyone to make me feel like it is a burden. He has worked very hard to give me everything that I want. My father has always worked for the family. That’s my fear,” she said.
