‘Celebrities don't impress me’
Sonam Kapoor, who is gearing up for the 69th Cannes Film Festival, says she doesn't get “starstruck” by other celebrities at the red carpet.
“It doesn't matter which part of the world you are from whether you are white, brown or black everybody is the same so I don't get starstruck unless I really respect the person. If I meet Barbra Streisand or someone like that then I will be star struck or else just celebrities don't impress me,” she said.
Asked if she gets intimidated by western stars walking the red carpet, Sonam said, “I am so tall so when I walk, it's completely different because I wear really high platform heels. So, I think it's very difficult for anyone to intimidate me because they are like so small but I don't get intimidated by people because people are just people.”
I don't think so there is anybody who can play my part (character of Badman). Nobody. That character had a lot of looks, a lot of certain kind of delivery. Only one person can play ‘Badman'. That is me | GUlSHAN GROVER
Akshay Kumar, whose bodyguard recently punched a fan, said that while it was wrong to raise hand on someone, it was important to pay attention to the fans' strange behaviour sometimes.
“I agree that raising hand on someone is wrong, but you have to pay attention to them (fans), and they (bodyguards) have been seeing those things,” said Akshay when asked about the incident at the launch of song Taang Uthaake from film Housefull 3.
