Mumbai: Stylish actress Sonam Kapoor is fearful of being called a fashion icon for the youth as she feels the tag comes with a lot of responsibilities.
“It’s only been four years since I have been in the industry, and if in such a short time someone calls you iconic, it is scary and overwhelming,” the 26-year-old actress said at a derby event here.
However, she feels it is more important to prove herself as a good citizen first.
“As long as I am a responsible adult and I am responsible as a youth or a style icon, and I don’t take myself very seriously that ‘Oh! I am so amazing’, but be a responsible citizen and a good Indian, that is the most important thing,” said Sonam.
Sonam turned up at the derby event clad in a coral red sari and donning silver jewellery. While most women doll up in dresses and a hat at a derby, Sonam decided to go unconventional.
“Everyone wears a predictable dress and hat and comes to the derby. I said why don’t I do it the old Indian style where they used to wear cotton and chiffon saris. That’s why I wore silver and coral,” said the actress, who was recently seen in Players.
Sonam is currently busy shooting for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Rajkumar Santoshi’s untitled film. (IANS)
