Prior work commitments will keep actress Sonam Kapoor away from the
promotions of her forthcoming film "Khoobsurat" in Pakistan, the home
country of her film's co-star Fawad Khan. She says she would love to
visit the country sometime in future.
Despite her absence from the film's promotions, Sonam plans to make her presence felt.
"I
was going to Pakistan (earlier). But (now) I am recording a message and
I am doing as much (interviews with) Pakistani media as I can to
promote the film," she said.
However, Sonam is very eager to visit Pakistan.
"I
really, really want to go. My forefathers are from Peshawar and my
mom's side of the family comes from Karachi. So there is so much of a
connection...I am just a second generation Indian," Sonam said.
"Khoobsurat"
will release across the border the same day as it releases in India Sep
19. Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, the film also stars Kirron Kher and
Ratna Pathak Shah.
Post the packed promotional schedules in India, Sonam will soon be caught up with a shooting schedule of "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo".
"The
film ('Khoobsurat') releases Sep 19 and we are in Delhi till then. Our
promotion schedule is such that we are going somewhere everyday till 19
and on 20th, I start shooting for 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'," the
28-year-old said Friday.
"Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" is Sooraj Barjatya's film starring superstar Salman Khan in the lead.
