Sonam made her debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali&#39;s &#39;Saawariya&#39; in 2007 opposite Ranbir Kapoor. <img alt="Sonam Kapoor" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/aug/Sonam-Kapoor_6.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 684px;" /> In 2010, her father and sister Rhea produced a film &#39;Aisha&#39; starring her. The 28-year-old actress maintains that she is close to her father but does not want to use his fame as a stepping stone. &quot;He has worked so hard all his life to be Anil Kapoor. I don&#39;t want to use that for myself because that is all his. I don&#39;t want to use that as a stepping stone for myself. He deserves more than that. Suppose I don&#39;t do well, I don&#39;t want my life to reflect on his life,&quot; Sonam told PTI. &quot;He has his own journey and I don&#39;t want to take that away from him. My dad gets very upset as I don&#39;t take too many pictures with him or do films or take money from him. He is like &#39;why am I earning, it is all for you people&#39;. He is proud of me that I am doing well on my own,&quot; she said. Sonam is very fond of her father, who like any regular parent keeps embarrassing her by talking about his daughter&#39;s achievements all the time. &quot;It is embarrassing that he talks about me all the time. He clicks pictures and shows to everyone that it&#39;s my daughter. It is so embarrassing. I love my dad,&quot; Sonam said. Sonam is happy to have made a place in the industry as a fashionista. &quot;People see me as Anil Kapoor&#39;s daughter but they also see me as a fashion icon, Sonam Kapoor who says all the wrong things. I have really worked to have my own separate identity. I have done it because of my dad,&quot; Sonam said. Her films post &#39;Saawariya&#39; like &#39;Delhi 6&#39;, &#39;Aisha&#39; &#39;Thank You&#39; and &#39;Mausam&#39; failed to click with audience except &#39;I Hate Love Storys&#39;. &quot;I did introspect about my career. I realised I wasn&#39;t comfortable playing these characters as I thought I wasn&#39;t convincing or good enough to play them. At that time I took a conscious decision and stopped signing films. I needed to be proud of the films that I do,&quot; she said. Sonam has an interesting range of films lined up for release Anand L Rai&#39;s &#39;Ranjhaana&#39;, &#39;Bhaag Milkha Bhaag&#39;, a biopic on legendary sportsman Milkha Singh, where she is paired opposite Farhan Akhtar. She is also doing a film with YRF opposite Ayushmann Khurrana and also the remake version of &#39;Khubsoorat&#39;.u00a0
