The ‘Sonam Factor’ is compelling. Dad Anil Kapoor credits her birth to the turnaround in his career with his films Ram Lakhan and Tezaab sweeping the box-office in the late’80s. And while she attributes her entrepreneur husband, Anand Ahuja, for being the harbinger of luck in her life, he referred to her as, “girlfriend, best friend, wife, life partner, #LUCKYCHARM. (Five in one)…” on social media. Yes, the spirited and sassy Sonam Kapoor Ahuja does seem to have an auspicious bearing on the men in her life.
Uncannily, her last release, The Zoya Factor, a quirky romcom, based on the bestseller written by Anuja Chauhan, had her play Zoya Solanki, the lucky charm of the Indian cricket team. It may have been a slow earner but the frothy story that combines cricket, love, luck and superstition deserves merit for its theme. “I believe every girl born in this world is lucky. It’s a shame that for years girls were considered a burden. My father believes I’m lucky for him. Even my sister, Rhea (Kapoor), is lucky for him. We girls are like gifts to our parents. The name Zoya in the film means the same, a gift,” she says. Rooting for girls she continues, “In fact, you come across old parents, who say it’s our daughters, who are taking care of us eventually.”
