I like the Bindis the girls wear here: Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor talks about Ambikapathy and fashion in an interview to Chennai Times
I like the Bindis the girls wear here: Sonam Kapoor
Looking resplendent, draped in a traditional sari for the promotion of Raanjhanaa (Ambikapathy in Tamil) in the city, actress Sonam Kapoor turned many heads
as much with her sweet nature as with her stunning looks.
���When I decided to try out a typical south Indian look, I chose to wear a Kanchipuram sari. My mother used to collect a lot of saris for me and this is from her collection.

The jewellery pieces I���m wearing are also all hers. Nothing makes you feel as good as wearing your mom���s jewellery. And I think I matched it well with the jasmine flowers,��� says Sonam. Chennai Times catches up with the actress���
Apart from film promotions, how often do you visit Chennai?
My aunt Sridevi���s home is in Chennai. Sridevi has been my biggest inspiration. I think she has influenced a lot of young girls like me. I have seen all her work and she made the south industry proud with her remarkable roles in Bollywood. So, I used to visit the city quite often. The one thing I like about Chennai girls is their bindis. I have noticed a lot of
colourful and many different types of bindis. I hardly find girls here without the bindi.

Being a fashionista yourself, any fashion suggestions for the girls here?
As Chennai is really hot, girls here should go for natural fabrics. A simple and elegant style will work out well here.
When the media thronged you, you politely requested them to not push the girls. Are you more considerate towards girls?
I am a feminist myself, and I respect other women. So, being caring towards them comes naturally to me. I believe in girl power. I like to work with girls, and that���s why all my staffs are girls. I feel the positive energy when I am with girls. I have great equation with women as well. I am planning to work with more women directors in my future films.
Are you planning to take up any Tamil films?
Language is definitely not a barrier for me. I would like to work on characters that really matter to me. I would like to set a good example to other girls with my roles, and choose characters that would convey valuable messages to the ladies. I want to inspire at least one girl with my on-screen character through my every film of mine. Only that will give me satisfaction. I think I can do it.
While Dhanush dubbed in Hindi, you could have tried dubbing in Tamil for Ambikapathy���
I wanted to dub myself for Ambikapathy but I had no time. I know an actress
could do justice to her role only with her voice.When I work on a Tamil film next time, I will give my 100 percent effort to speak in Tamil and will try to dub for the film.
One Tamil word that you learnt from Dhanush during the shoot?
Vanakkam!
