Actress Vaani Kapoor finds award functions 'rehearsed', and she doesn't like the energy there. She opened up on award functions, her relationship rules and career in a recent interview taken by a fashion magazine.
"I don't like the energy at award shows. It's rehearsed and everybody is just focused on themselves and nobody wants to genuinely applaud for anyone else. People aren't even listening if someone is giving a speech on stage," said Vaani, who bagged a few awards for her work in her debut film 'Shuddh Desi Romance'. Talking about her role in 'Shuddh Desi Romance', which also featured actor Sushant SinghRajput and Parineeti Chopra, Vaani said she was told that her role in it would be a 'parallel lead'.
"I was never told it was a second lead. I was told it's a parallel lead, but I was in one-fourth of the film. It's not the movie you want to begin with, but it was the best I had at that point of time. And it was Yash Raj Films, so I knew I was in safe hands." "So yes, it wasn't my dream debut but I don't regret it. Adi (filmmaker Aditya Chopra) noticed my work in 'Shuddh Desi Romance' and that's how I got 'Befikre'," she said.
'Befikre' will hit the screens on December 9, 2016 — three years after her debut film released. Vaani said "the wait was frustrating". "I wish this ('Befikre') had happened earlier. I was living alone, with no family and friends. When you feel low and down, you don't know whom to talk to and go out with. I didn't have anyone I could depend on that way," she said.
