Won’t date anyone from film industry: Sonam

Actor says all the “good ones” are already taken.

MUMBAI:

Apart from movies and entertainment, the Indian film industry seems to be filled with flings, love affairs and happily married couples. Be it Ajay Devgn and Kajol, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor or recently united Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor, everyone seems to find that perfect someone for themselves.

Young and bubbly Sonam Kapoor, however — who was romantically linked with her I Hate Luv Storys director Punit Malhotra in the past — says she is not interested in dating anyone from the industry because she feels the good ones are already taken.

“I won’t date anyone from the industry, honestly. Industry guys are amazing, but the good ones are taken,” said Sonam. “I have learnt that work and pleasure should be separate,” added the actor, who was present at the cover launch of Stardust magazine, featuring her and her I Hate Luv Storys co-star Imran Khan.

Sonam was all praise for Imran, who, according to her, is “the best looking guy in the industry”. Recalling an incident when she felt overshadowed by the actor’s good looks and glow, Sonam said: “We were shooting for I Hate Luv Storys, and I kept on telling him, ‘If you [Imran] look more beautiful than me, then I will get really upset with you’.”

“I was really upset at that time as his skin was really glowing and I was like, ‘Oh my god! I will look awkward next to him [in the film] now’,” she added.

While Sonam’s off screen love life is rather unknown to the world, her on screen love life has been quite exciting as depicted by the roles she played in Saawariya and the recently released film Raanjhanaa.

The actor will soon be seen in the re-make of the 1980 hit film Khoobsoorat.
