Weirdly enough, Sonam Kapoor is one of the few actresses that is happy that she wasn't cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan for his next movie. Rab De Bana Di Jodi (God made this relationship) is Yash Raj's next attempt at getting a hit and after realising that Kareena and Saif aren't going to bring in the money, Aditya Chopra has moved back to tried and tested Shah Rukh. Sonam says that the role was never offered to her to begin with,

"Since the film was announced speculation started about me being in the project. Arrey baba, I was never offered the film! I don't know where this whole thing started, honestly. I did visit Adi a couple of times like any other actor. But not for any particular role. Maybe people saw me entering Yashraj. Nowadays even if an actress passes by Yashraj she's rumoured to have signed a film with them." "I had never even approached Adi for this role and I had a reason for it.I know it required someone very Punjabi and young. I've just played a full-on Punjabi kudi, salwar-kameez sharara-gharara and all, in Rakeysh Mehra's Dilli 6. Even in Saawariya I was in full elaborate Indian clothes. Now I need change of pace..and grace."

Even though Sonam is looking for a more modern role, she is not into skimpy outfits...after all, her father Anil Kapoor is her adviser and it's understandable that he wouldn't want his teenage daughter parading around like that. Sonam is worried about honour too, after she reportedly turned down a Rakesh Roshan project because it asked for a bit too much skin.

"All I'll say is, I'd never do anything to compromise myself or my family, or any film where I've to cringe at the premiere."

Wow, honestly, I admire her resolve.
