Film producer and fashion stylist Rhea
Kapoor, daughter of actor Anil Kapoor and sister of actress Sonam
Kapoor, says during her initial days people expected her to be an
actress and didn't take her seriously.
After producing two Hindi films, "Aisha" and "Khoobsurat", Rhea along
with her elder sister Sonam has launched a new high street fashion
brand -- Rheson.
"Well, I think since I am daughter of Anil Kapoor, in the beginning,
people expected me to be a actor like Sonam, but I didn't as that was
never my dream. Since my choices were unpredictable for critics, they
did not take me seriously.
In fact, I believe, when you start young, people assume that you are
undeserving," Rhea said here. Such things don't affect me", she said
here.
Though Rhea has grown up watching films, the glamour world never
attracted her as she believes she is "too chilled out to be an actor".
"I cannot sit holding a crossed lagged poster; I am clumsy person and a
control freak. I would be a disaster as an actor! In fact, my
personality also reflects on my collection" said the 30-year-old
stylist.
The label Rheson has a collection of clothes that highlight daily,
comfort and casual wear.
"I'm the first consumer for my product, so I have to create things with
conviction. You know I love wearing a sari, but I cannot sit on the
floor, with my folded legs, especially when sitting for puja or in
Diwali, along with elders. It's so uncomfortable. So I made that
palazzo sari, graceful but as comfy as one can wear like a track
pants," she said.
Rhea is also busy with the production of "Veere Di Wedding" and "Battle
for Bittora", both starring Sonam.
