Sonam Kapoor admits that her upcoming film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (PRDP)looks nothing short of a fairytale and yet, beneath the grandeur of it, is a simple story about family values.

Drawing inspiration from her close-knit family, Sonam talks to Bombay Times about her father Anil Kapoor, who is an ideal man, why her on-screen characters are never an extension of her image and how kal yug is instrumental in eroding family values.

Talking to newsmen, she said that Sooraj Barjatyaji liked her performance in Raanjhanaa. It released in June 2013 and she got a call in July saying that they are considering me for this role. Soorajji wanted me in the film and they were discussing it with Salman. They told her not to mention it to anyone. There were reports of every heroine supposedly doing the film, but in her head, I knew it was she. Sonam just didn't talk about it then. she was confirmed around January. Sooraj ji really wanted her in the film and was sure that I suited the part.
