There is something about advertiser-turned-author Anuja Chauhan\u2019s female characters that makes Sonam K Ahuja \u201can ideal choice\u201d for their screen versions. Sonam, who plays the lead in The Zoya Factor, a romantic movie based on the novel by the same name and written by Chauhan, believes this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The role of Zoya Solanki was offered to her several times in the last few years, as the project changed hands. \u201cZoya is a mess. She has a regular job and a terrible love life. I don\u2019t think we have had ordinary, contemporary characters like Zoya on the big screen recently,\u201d says the actor, adding that her character Milli in Khoobsurat was also a mess. The movie releases on September 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What makes Zoya special is that she is \u201can everyday girl\u201d with issues she is low on confidence and things are not great for her on the work front. She is a girl-next-door who is believed to be the Indian cricket team\u2019s \u201clucky charm\u201d after some coincidences. \u201cMost woman characters are shown as sati savitris or damsels in distress. She is very ordinary and someone many people can easily identify with,\u201d says Sonam, who is sporting frizzy hair in the film. She has also gained 10 kilos for the role, as Zoya is described as a plump girl in the novel The Zoya Factor, which was published in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSince I am 5 feet 10 inches tall, it does not show that I\u2019ve gained weight,\u201d she says. The actor is also likely to play the lead role in the screen adaptation of yet another novel by Chauhan, titled Battle for Bittora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we meet the 34-year-old amidst promotions, she is nursing a patch of rashes on her leg. \u201cThis is the result of stress. I get it every time before the promotions,\u201d says the actor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
