Sonam Kapoor is looking forward to walk the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival this year but the actress feels she is in no position to advise Deepika Padukone, who is making her debut at the French Riviera.
Sonam, Deepika and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are scheduled to walk the red carpet at the film festival this year.
When asked if she has any advice to give to Deepika, Sonam told reporters: "I hope she has a good time. I don't think I should be giving any advice to someone who has already walked several international red carpets. I just believe in being myself."
The actress was speaking at a promotional event of her and sister Rhea's fashion brand Rheson.
The 31-year-old actress said this time she has not prepared much for the red carpet.
"My sister styles me, but we haven't really prepped that much this time. We have a brand that we are launching, I am shooting two films, she is making Veere Di Wedding.
"We decided not to put any pressure on ourselves and just have a good time. So we don't think about it much. It's not about the status quo of being on the red carpet."
Sonam said she would have been stressed if she was walking the red carpet for a movie.
"We are going for a brand. If it was for a movie, I would've been so stressed out that I would faint on the red carpet. But because it's for a make up brand, I enjoy doing it. It's about being beautiful and you look beautiful only if you're happy inside and confident," she said.
Saif Ali Khan's hospital trip was a mess, from a sleepy attendant to insisting on a stretcher.
He just ignored everyone telling him to use a wheelchair when it was time to leave.
His own mother, Sharmila Tagore, is still annoyed he did not listen to her.
A chilling detail: his son Jeh was nicked by the knife too during the chaos.
Right, so Saif Ali Khan is talking about the knife attack now. He is actually talking about it. He is filling in the blanks from that night at his Bandra home, the one that ended with him in surgery. And he is explaining that moment he left the hospital, no wheelchair, no ambulance, just walking. It was a conscious choice after the knife attack, his way of saying he was still on his feet.

What exactly went down that night?
He saw the man standing over Jeh’s bed, armed. During the struggle, the assailant’s knife even nicked his young son Jeh. The attacker managed to stab Saif six times before fleeing.

Why did Saif Ali Khan deny a wheelchair after the attack?
The hospital scene was weirdly placid and almost sleepy especially the emergency area. He knew the second he walked in, he would require a stretcher. But the attendant on duty just offered a wheelchair. He had to argue, “No, I think I need a stretcher.” The guy was not really getting it. In the end, Saif said he had to snap the guy to attention by stating his name and calling it a medical emergency. That is when everything kicked off.
That initial refusal of aid, bizarrely, set the tone. Later, after a week in hospital and surgery, he was again faced with the wheelchair question for his discharge. “It just did not seem to be necessary.” He could move, though in pain. So why would he pretend otherwise?
Here is the thing: everyone had an opinion. Someone said to take an ambulance, and another insisted on the wheelchair. The media was camped outside, curious and waiting. His own instinct cut through the noise. He figured, why feed the panic? Why have his family, his fans, seeing him wheeled out or driven away in an ambulance?
He decided the right message was the simplest one: just walk out. Show them you are upright and okay. It was a picture message, literally.
Of course, the plan backfired a bit online, with some calling the whole thing fake. His mother, Sharmila Tagore, certainly thought he had made a mistake, telling Twinkle Khanna that if he had just listened to her and used the wheelchair, “there would have been no controversy.” But for Saif, the intention was only to reassure.
