Sonam Kapoor is one of the most popular actresses. She is often called the fashionista of Bollywood. But you will be surprised to know that Anil Kapoor did not know the name of Sonam when he kept her. Yes, you are reading right. The actor revealed this during one of the episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Amitabh Bachchan was also shocked when he learned about it.
During the quiz, a question was asked ‘Which of the following names means ‘gold-like’ and one of the options was Sonam. To this, Anil revealed that he didn’t know his daughter’s name also meant gold at the time of naming her. “Kya soch ke naam rakha tha (So, what did you think before naming her?)” Amitabh asked the story behind Sonam Kapoor’s name and Anil said, “Maine zyada socha nahi tha. (I didn’t think much)”.
Anil Kapoor then revealed the story behind Sonam. “I was in Ladakh shooting for Joshile. Waha ek ladki thi Sonam. She was a very nice girl, very sweet girl and she was differently abled. To mujhko wo ladki bohot achi lagi, bohot innocent lagi. To maine kaha ki agar meri beti hui to main uska naam Sonam rakhunga. Ladakhi mein Sonam ka matlab hota hai lucky (There was a nice. I really liked that girl and I decided that if I have a daughter, I will name her Sonam).”
On the work front, Anil Kapoor is seen in Fighter which is released recently. The film also stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. According to reports, the movie has successfully crossed the Rs 170-crore mark in India. As it gears up to face competition from the Valentine’s Week release, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, featuring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, the film still has a chance to cross Rs 200-crore net mark.
On the other hand, Amitabh has a series of projects in the pipeline. These include Kalki 2898 AD with Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, and Vettaiyan with Rajinikanth. Vettaiyan marks Amitabh’s Tamil film debut.
