Contrary to the reports that Sonam Kapoor had problems with actor-director Pankaj Kapoor while shooting for his directorial debut "Masuam", the youngster says she admires the veteran's acting skills.

"The first time I met Pankaj-ji, it was for a workshop and we were reading the scenes out. I got along with him soon. I just loved his sensibility. I have always admired him as an actor, " Sonam told.

The veteran actor is often considered to be a serious person, but Sonam says she wasn't nervous.

"You need to have a sense of confidence and I learnt that from Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. He said nobody will hire you if they will feel you can't do their job. So, I go there thinking I have to go there and do my job. You go there, you learn from people and experience things, " she added.

The film also stars Shahid Kapoor in the lead. It releases Friday.
