When the news of Sonam Kapoor featuring in the latest video of the British Rock Band, Coldplay, made it to the headlines, everyone went gaga about it. All her fans had high expectations and were desperately waiting for the video ‘Hymn For The Video’ make it to the Internet. But, when the video was released everyone was left disappointed as Sonam was hardly seen in the video. She featured for split seconds and that’s all! Following this, there was a fuss over this with people trolling her for her ‘blink and miss’ appearance.
Defending her stance, Sonam, in a recent interview said that she is a big fan of the band and featuring in their video is like a dream come true moment. She said, “First of all, I am in a Chris Martin video and I am a huge fan of Coldplay. When I was in high school, I grew up [listening to] Oasis, Coldplay and U2. And if somebody told me at 16 that I was going to be in a video, I would go: ‘shut up.’ Further, she added, “So on my birthday, I get to take all my friends for a concert. I get VIP access to their concerts forever and I am going to make them sing ‘Yellow’ to me. This is good. When I was in high school, I listened to ‘Yellow’ from Coldplay and ‘Wonderwall’ from Oasis and I used to cry and wondered if anyone would sing me these songs to me. And there I am, doing this video. Everybody is going on about these three shots alone.”
Well, yes, we agree. Be it for just three shots or the entire video, you at least got an opportunity to feature in your favorite band. Good going girl!
On the work front, Sonam would be next seen Ram Madhvani’s directorial ‘Neerja’ which is a biopic on Neerja Bhanot, a flight-attendant who sacrificed her life to save the life of passengers onboard a hijacked flight. The film is slated to release on February 19, 2016.
