The idols who have influenced Sonam's life

Chirpy Sonam names the idols who have influenced her life and acting style apart from her papa, who’s her “mentor, philosopher and guide” and manages her contracts and deals:

Waheeda Rehman:
Gorgeous dancer, stunning looker and a whammy performer, she really had the goods. Her snake dance in Guide is Sonam’s all-time favourite and she “envies” her for being Guru Dutt’s heroine.

Rekha:
Her enduring “aura” and magnificent screen presence fascinates Sonam.

Sridevi:
She’s impressed with Sri’s “sheer range” which is amply displayed in Sadma and Chaalbaaz.

Salman Khan:
When her childhood star turned her hero, she knew that Lady Luck was beaming upon her. Sonam is awed by his “complete dedication” to cinema.

Shaan:
Believe it or not, during her college days Sonam “simply worshipped” singer Shaan and doted on his Lovology album.

Rekha talks about playing a contemporary courtesan in ‘Yatra’

Director Goutam Ghose’s ‘Yatra’, starring Rekha in a pivotal role, has just won accolades at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa. It will also be the opening film at the Trivandrum Film Festival on December 9. The songs composed by veteran Khayyam are climbing up the popularity charts.

Incidentally, Rekha plays Lajwanti a modern day courtesan in the film opposite Nana Patekar. Rekha says, “Lajwanti has no similarities to ‘Umrao Jaan’. It is a contemporary character whilst the latter belonged to the medieval era. I have a role that perfectly suits my age and acting abilities. Goutamda worked on me and drew out a subtle performance, the kind I have not done in recent years.”

What about her chemistry with Nana Patekar? Rekha smiles and says, “We are starring together for the first time. Nana as an actor needs control. Then he performs well. His acting style is very different from that of Amitabh Bachchan or Naseeruddin Shah. We shared good vibes on the sets.”

A highlight of ‘Yatra’ is the dance number choreographed by Saswati Sen. What does the diva have to say? Rekha answers, “There are two kathak numbers. I rehearsed many times before giving the final shots. Saswati took great care in training me for my mudras and steps. She has true mastery over kathak.”

Were there any conflicts with her and Ghose ? Rekha rubbishes the rumours saying, “If there were any conflicts would the film have been completed smoothly and within time? I felt very comfortable working with Goutamda. You will notice how he has made me underplay my emotions. He and producer Bipin Kumar Vohra have even incorporated some of my suggestions in the film.”

Exclusive Interview with Bollywood Queen: Rekha

Mumbai: Rekha, one of the most versatile actresses in Bollywood, turns 51 on Tuesday and says she has reached a stage where she can do justice to any role offered to her.


"For the past 10 years I've reached a stage where I could do justice to any role that came my way. It could be the role of a mother, sister-in-law, a negative or positive role. I've done it all with equal sincerity and passion," Rekha said.


The evergreen actress said she is fortunate as people notice her in the minutest of roles.


"I'm blessed because people notice me even if I appear at a function for two minutes. My appearance in Krrish too is rather brief. Today I think I'm at the best stage of my life and career. No matter what I do, people are responsive and, to my good fortune, appreciative,” Rekha said.



Excerpts from an interview:


Subhash K Jha: Javed Akhtar thinks you've touched new chords in your performing prowess in Krrish?



Rekha: What can I say? I'm really honoured and touched. He had felt the same way about me in Lajja. These days I'm lucky if I'm noticed for my roles. I just breeze in and breeze out on screen.


Subhash K Jha: Why do you say that?


Rekha: That's how brief my appearances are both on and off screen. I'm blessed because people notice me even if I appear at a function for two minutes. My appearance in Krrish too is rather brief. Simiji (Garewal) saw the film and said she can't bear to see me as a grandmother.


Subhash K Jha: That thought is unacceptable to me also.


Rekha: You forget that I'm an actor. For the past 10 years I've reached a stage where I could do justice to any role that came my way. It could be the role of a mother, sister-in-law or a negative or positive role. I've done it all with equal sincerity and passion.


I was asked why I did a negative role in Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi or soft porn like Basu Bhattacharya's Astha? After Astha people had a lot to say about my role of a wife who moonlights as a prostitute. I don't have problems playing anything.


Subhash K Jha: Why this democratic attitude for an actress known to be super-selective?


Rekha: I was never selective. Nor do I believe any longer that I'm the chosen one. Nowadays I believe I'm one of the chosen ones because there're so many others.


You know being a character actor isn't a blessing in India. Abroad even an actor like Al Pacino is treated like a character actor and given his rightful place.
