'They had class and dignity': Sonam Khan on how Yash Chopra, Rishi Kapoor made her feel comfortable during bikini scene

Veteran actress Sonam Khan recently took to her Instagram handle to share a bikini scene from the movie, Vijay and recalled how Yash Chopra and Rishi Kapoor made her feel comfortable during the shoot.

Check out the post here:


She wrote, 'Boo hoo #gafoor And just like that I started my journey with a bikini and a chocolate…Unabashedly. Lights, camera, sound, and action!” It was my first day ever facing the camera for the silver screen. Yash ji was inspired by the legendary beach run of Bo Derek in the movie 10, and that’s how he chose my introduction scene in ‘Vijay. I was surprisingly at ease during the shoot and kept eating Five Star chocolate bars throughout the day. That’s how I started my love affair with Five Star chocolate. I used to eat a couple of them during every shoot from then on, as I thought they were lucky for me. (a teenager’s mind is tricky thingy at times). To this day, it’s my favorite chocolate. Coming back to the scene, whenever Yash ji said’cut’ after a take, my hairstylist would come running towards me with my dressing gown.'





Elaborating further, she added, 'They had so much class and dignity. And so, with this exact scene, my journey in the Indian movie industry began. Ironically, two years later, Yash ji asked me to work in Aaina, which I unfortunately couldn’t do as I was getting married at 18 and had stopped signing new projects. (There were a lot of other superlative movies offered to me during my pre-retirement period that I didn’t do.) Nonetheless, my dear friend Amrita Singh did a fabulous job in Aaina.
