Sonam Kapoor will be next seen in the romantic comedy, The Zoya Factor. It has been such a long time since we saw a nice rom-com in Bollywood. We hope The Zoya Factor ends the dry spell. The actress is going all out promoting the film, which also includes vlogging her daily promotional activities. She has certainly given this movie her all. In a recent interview, with Film Companion, she revealed she gained 10 kgs for the film, which she also had to shed. She said she came right out of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, in which she played a lean girl, to shoot for The Zoya Factor. Sonam Kapoor and Dulquer Salmaan Talk About Comparing Career Notes With Their Super Succesful Fathers (Watch Video).

"I don't know if you can tell but I have lost a lot of weight. Because I am a thing girl, with poker-straight hair. But Zoya Solanki is a regular girl with frizzy hair. Her brother calls her 'jhaadoo'," the actress added.

In the same interview, Sonam also talked about how her father's film choices gave her the courage to be the actress she is. "He was doing films like, Mashaal, Ishwar or Mr India. He was not afraid of doing two-hero films either. He was not afraid of playing grey characters. He was not afraid," she said.

"He didn't realise, or maybe he did, because he is very intelligent and perceptive about things, but he did not play to the toxic masculinity that was very relevant in the '70s and the '80s," she continued. She added that this gave her courage and made it easier for her to make tough choices.
