Sonam Kapoor once said she feels like she doesn't have a perfect body to wear a bikini in films

Sonam Kapoor had 85 kgs at the age of 19. When she decided to become an actress, she shredded those extras kilos. Sonam had once revealed that she always felt like she doesn't have a perfect body to don a bikini on-screen.

In an old interview with a news agency, Sonam has talked about her body fat and skin, "I don't have the best body... I have loose skin. I look good because of the clothes I wear. I choose my clothes very carefully, which make me look thin and perfectly fit my body. I do work out a lot and try t too keep a tab on what I eat but there is certain type, style and colour which suits me and I stick to that."

But she did wear a bikini for her films Bewakoofiyaan and later in Veere Di Wedding. Talking that she said wearing a bikini, it's not a big deal for her if a particular scene demands her to wear one.

However, Sonam always felt that she was still a fat girl and won't look good in bikinis. "I will never wear a bikini on-screen because I am not confident enough. I know that I will not look good. I am not comfortable in showing off my body. I may look thin but inside I am still a fat girl," she said.

She further added, "It's because of my work I am determined to stay in shape. In my profession there is a constant demand to look good with people watching you all the time. It's my job to look good as there are people investing money in me. It's also that I love clothes a lot and I just want to fit into them so I try and maintain my body."

In Bollywood, many other actresses like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma and Jacqueline Fernandez don't hesitate to flaunt their bod in a bikini to that Sonam said, "I am not in competition with any of the girls but I compete with boys. I think they are much hotter and conscious about their body."
