Filmfare (on twitter) also mentioned that she's started filming for Ayesha! Hope to see pics from the set. I'd love to see some of the outfits that the film's stylist, Ayesha Depala, and Sonam have put together.

Could you say who it's by?

I LOVE her outfit, and the necklace is soo cute!

That has to be the most unflattering outfit she has worn. She looks a lot bigger than she is. Also, I thought the owl necklace fad ended years ago.

Sonam is Rakeysh’s Sahibaan

Sonam is Rakeysh’s Sahibaan

It was said about the legendary Sahibaan that when she stepped out into the gallis of Punjab, the nine angels that guard the spheres died on seeing her beauty.

And Sonam Kapoor, Bollywood's IT girl, is all set to play the ethereal Sahibaan in an ambitious screen adaptation by filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

While there have been many screen adaptations in Hindi and Punjabi of legendary romances like Heer-Ranjha, Laila-Majnu and Sohni-Mahiwal, so far no prominent film in Hindi is based on the Mirza-Sahibaan love story. And it's probably because of the complicated nature of their relationship.

According to sources, the idea came to Rakeysh during the making of Delhi-6.

"Rakeysh would address Sonam as 'Bittu', the character she played in Delhi-6. Then suddenly one day he started calling Sonam 'Sahibaan'. At first Sonam was baffled by this new name from Rakeysh who would pamper her to no end. But as the historical perspective and the literary antecedents of the character began to seep in, Sonam grew excited about the project and began to pester Rakeysh about the project," said the source.

For the actress, who is at the moment busy playing the Delhi socialite's version in Ayesha, which is based on Jane Austen's Emma, this would be the first occasion to do a costume drama. The fact that Sonam had was dressed in elaborate costumes in her debut Saawariya gave Rakeysh the idea that his 'Bittu' could indeed be his 'Sahibaan'.

It's not yet known who will play Sahibaan's lover, Mirza. But rumours have it that Abhishek Bachchan will play the role.

Confirming that Mirza-Sahibaan is indeed in the pipeline, Rakeysh Mehra said, "But, I still have to get down to writing it."

............................................................

Mirza and Sahibaan were cousins and childhood playmates who fell in love with each other. When Sahibaan was promised to another suitor, she sent a message to Mirza asking him to rescue her, which he did on her wedding day. After travelling for some time, the couple decided to rest for some time. However, when Sahibaan's brothers learnt that the couple has eloped, they went in search for her. When Mirza was asleep, Sahiban feared that Mirza would kill her brothers. So she quietly took Mirza's quiver and hung it on a branch, out of his reach. When her brothers caught up with them, Sahibaan woke up Mirza who reached for his quiver. But before that one of her brothers' arrows hit him. Before dying, Mirza looked accusingly at Sahibaan and said, "Bura kitoyee Sahibaan, mera turkish tangiya jand!" Which means: Sahibaan, you did a terrible thing by hanging the quiver away from my reach!

A sobbing Sahibaan threw herself over Mirza's body to cover him from being injured further. She too died.

Did anyone read this:


Sonam Kapoor definitely has mischievous mind behind innocent and docile looks. She found another way to mock at [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Aishwarya[/FONT] Rai Bachchan. Earlier she said in a [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]press conference[/FONT] that Aishwarya belonged to older generation.
According to sources, she has popularized nick name of Aishwarya as 'Aunty Ji' among her close friend circle.
She calls the bollywood beauty 'Aunty Ji' because of her age and the fact that she has worked with Anil Kapoor.
Sonam says 'Ash has worked with my dad so I have to call her aunty na?'
Earlier comment greatly disturbed Aishwarya and she also demanded an apology from Sonam. Leave apology, it seems that 'masakkali' beauty is bent upon picking fight with the 'Bachchan Bahu' by nick naming her.
Sonam is just two-film-old hence she should think twice before messing with Aishwarya who is a world beauty and a renowned star of bollywood. It seems that she is not aware of the consequences of the tussle.

I'd say the same thing, if true, after the Cannes fiasco. I feel that Ash has passed her prime in her career but is still on top of the Bollywood list but is mostly known as the "most beautiful woman" for rest of the world. I don't think she has crossed over as much as people make it seem like she has.

On the Couch with Koel: Sonam's got it all

It's not always what happens on the couch but more often, what transpires after the couch has been tightly flat packed into its red box that reveals the true nature of the person who sat on it. The very tall Sonam Kapoor was invited on the couch because a) she has a smile that can light entire cities afflicted by power cuts. speaks her mind freely without giving a damn about the code of diplomacy that must be adhered to by new entrants to Bollywood. c) in spite of the lukewarm response to both her films she's a mega superstar. d) I like her avant-garde sense of style. e) It's my party and I can invite who I want!

So, after our über (Sonam's favourite word) interesting chat, I decided - here is a girl born to Bollywood blueblood who would much rather have her foot in her mouth than a silver spoon. This makes her instantly more appealing. She is intelligent, well-read, opinionated and still at that wonderful age when you have full faith in your invincibility! She knew what she wanted to talk about, what she didn't and how to steer the conversation to achieve that. I was impressed with her confidence but then again, if you are not sure of yourself in your twenties, honey, you've got a tough life ahead.

With these thoughts in my head we packed up. A day later, a tabloid got hold of the excerpts of our chat and blew out of proportion and context (they would make better writers of fiction) what Ms Kapoor said vis-a-vis Ms Rai-Bachchan and the whole Cannes-L'oreal saga. The news ink hadn't so much as dried and my phones went berserk. Fifty-two missed calls and seventy-six text messages (I too should be working for a tabloid) from Sonam's secretary, manager, PR, my producer (desperately trying to get hold of me on my day off)...

Her 'people' were up in arms ready for war. I assured them that it was not me or my 'people' that were responsible and I'd happily help in the damage control. They were not in the mood to be placated. To be fair, Sonam had been grossly misquoted at a time when the Ash-Sonam controversy was big enough for journalists to build a career on. Then the call I dreaded, came. Sonam flashed on my mobile and I thought the lady will demand my head.

Not quite. On the contrary, Sonam was calling to warn me about the collective hysterics of her team (who she now considers friends) and to tell me to simply ignore them. She had apparently, spent all morning calming them down, persuading them to look beyond such frivolous gossip. She believes it's part and parcel of being a star and comes with the territory. I almost dropped my phone. Even the cynic in me had to take her at face value. Because two minutes into our conversation after telling me I too should brush aside the 'no-news' news, she was counselling me and giving me sound PR advise about my show. She not only apologised for the trouble the tabloid piece had put me through (??!!) but also offered her help if it all got out of hand.

Luckily, it died a natural death like Sonam wisely predicted. As for me, I got to know the poised, unruffled girl who's thoughts may run away from her mouth before she's had time to think them but under fire she's as cool and as composed as a natural blueblood. She was no doubt born with the silver spoon in her mouth but she also earns it every step of the way.

Tune into Headlines Today this Saturday, June 6, at 7pm and Sunday, June 7, at 1pm to watch her freely talk about cute boys, not walking the red carpet at the Oscars and definitely not marrying a 'hero'.
