Dimple Kapadia: ‘Roles Are Written For The New Generation’
March 23, 08 by Ballz Bollywood!
In an extremely rare interview, silver screen beauty Dimple Kapadia talks about her life today and also about her beloved son-in-law – even though interviews don’t seem to be one of her favourite things.
Dimple on upcoming projects: “There’s Phir Kabhi with Mithun Chakraborty which is complete. I’m also doing Milo Toh Sahi by Kabir Sadanand, the casting for which is still on. Then there’s Zoya Akhtar’s directorial venture, in which her brother Farhan Akhtar’s playing the male lead. It’s a funny take on the Bombay film industry.”
Dimple on there not being enough movie roles for her: “I’m doing one or two films a year. But I’m quite happy with my pace of work. At this age, one doesn’t really get good offers. Roles are mostly written for the new generation. But I consider myself lucky to have got roles in films like Being Cyrus and Dil Chahta Hai . Doing only a few films leaves me time to do a lot of other things.”
Dimple on Akshay Kumar’s success: “My chest swells with pride whenever his name is mentioned. I feel very happy for him and am extremely proud of him. But it’s not just because he’s my son-in-law. I have always believed in him and God has been kind to him. He’s very hard-working and disciplined.”
Dimple on being called beautiful at 50: “People say I’m stunning, and it becomes true. But I don’t do anything.”
