Although Sonam Kapoor in the upcoming rom-com ‘The Zoya Factor’ has proved a lucky charm for the Indian cricket team, in real life he regards ‘Anand’ as his ‘zoya factor’. Trust us it’s not just her husband Anand Ahuja (winked)!
Long before the actress met her husband, the name Anand proved to be a good luck charm for her. Recently, during an interview with Times Now, Sonam revealed that he was not only my husband Anand but also the name Anand.
She further explained the explanation: “My first film to change people’s perspective on me was ‘Raanjhanaa’ directed by Anand L. Rai.” After that, her career began to get better and better with films like ‘Khoobsurat’, ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, ‘PadMan’ and all theses films did well at the box office. Another incident recalled that Neerja continued to become a hit because of ‘Ananda’ Rajesh Khanna. “One of my favorite films is Anand Rajesh Khanna. Actually, Neerja was a fan of Amitabh Bachchan, but we decided to make her a fan of Rajesh Khanna and we made ‘Anand’ part of the movie ‘Neerja’. The first dialogue and the last dialogue is from that movie.” , Sonam mentions.
She further said that during the promotion ‘Neerja’ met the love of her life ‘Anand’ and therefore has the ‘Anand factor’ in her life. Sonam added that her lovely husband Anand Ahuja is her lucky mascot. “Having a life partner like Anand is a blessing,” the actress replies.
