Sonam Khan Recalls Shooting First Bikini Scene With Rishi Kapoor: 'Was Made To Feel Extremely...'

Actress Sonam Khan has opened up about a memorable moment from her early career days when she shot her first-ever bikini scene, and that too opposite Rishi Kapoor. Sonam Khan, who worked with the late superstar in Yash Chopra’s Vijay, reveals that while she was nervous, Yash Chopra and Rishi Kapoor ensured that the shoot went well. Sharing the video, Sonam Khan wrote, “Reflecting on my first day of shooting for Vijay… I was quite nervous. It was my first time facing the camera, and I was wearing a bikini for the scene, which was shot on Madh Island. Thankfully, everything went well, thanks to Yash ji and Rishi Kapoor Sir.” Have a look here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sonam Khan (@sonamkhan_72) She added, “Maybe I will get trolled for sharing this reel or maybe not, but I don’t mind, as I was working to support my parents. I was indeed a very brave girl to do my first shoot, especially in a bikini. When I saw this reel today, I just patted myself on the back for being who I was then and who I am today—completely and unapologetically myself. Whether people judge me or not is their prerogative! My parents and the Almighty above know it all, and that is what I care about.” The video features Sonam Khan looking stunning in a red bikini as she lies on the beach in water with Rishi Kapoor in a romantic scene. In the clip, Rishi’s character notices her heartbeat racing and asks her about it, to which Sonam responds, “Dhadak nahi raha hai, kuch keh raha hai. Suno kya keh raha hai.” The clip also stirred nostalgia in the hearts of Vijay fans.

I was made to feel extremely comfortable, all thanks to Yash ji and Rishi Kapoor Sir, as both had instructed my hairstylist to do the above. They had so much class and dignity. And so, with this exact scene, my journey in the Indian movie industry began,” the actress had written.
