Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is one of the most loved films in Bollywood. The movie was based on the life of sprinter Milkha Singh who passed away on June 18 this year. Farhan and Sonam were seen playing Milkha Singh and his wife in the movie. The duo was loved as a couple in the movie, but did you know that Sonam Kapoor did the role of Biro for just ₹11. Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra recently released his autobiography, The Stranger in the Mirror, co-written by Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta where he said that Sonam only took a token amount.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra wrote according to a report by Pinkvilla, “Sonam Kapoor benevolently accepted to play a guest appearance for a princely sum of ₹11 only for her brief portrayal of Biro.”

The filmmaker further wrote, “She chose to accept ₹11. She had a special appearance in the film. Both of us shared an amazing journey with Delhi-6 before that. She told me that she is needed for just 7 days for the shoot and she praised us for trying to say something so beautiful, about the partition of this country and the spirit of Milkha Singh. So she wanted to contribute to the film as well. It was very nice of her.”

Sonam was also part of Mehra’s movie Delhi 6  which did not do so well, talking about the failure, he wrote, “I was going deeper and deeper into a dark hole. Unable to take it anymore, I drowned myself in alcohol,” and added, “I wanted to drink myself to death — to sleep and never get up…”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Sonam was last seen in The Zoya Factor and she will be seen next in the thriller Blind.
