Actor Sonam Khan recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as she shared a throwback video featuring the late Rishi Kapoor from her debut film Vijay, directed by Yash Chopra. Posting the clip on social media with the song ‘Ghafoor’ playing in the background, Sonak captioned it, “And just like that I started my journey with a bikini and a chocolate… Unabashedly… Lights, camera, sound, and action! It was my first day ever facing the camera for the silver screen.”

Recalling the making of her first-ever scene, Sonam revealed that Yash Chopra was inspired by Bo Derek’s iconic beach run from the Hollywood film 10 — a moment that shaped her introduction sequence in Vijay. She shared, “I was surprisingly at ease during the shoot and kept eating Five Star chocolate bars throughout the day. That’s how I started my love affair with Five Star chocolate. I used to eat a couple of them during every shoot from then on, as I thought they were lucky for me. (A teenager’s mind is a tricky thing at times.)”
She also fondly remembered the professionalism and warmth of the late filmmaker and Rishi Kapoor. “Whenever Yash ji said ‘cut’ after a take, my hairstylist would come running towards me with my dressing gown. I was made to feel extremely comfortable, all thanks to Yash ji and Rishi Kapoor Sir. They had so much class and dignity,” she wrote.
Sonam concluded her post with a bittersweet reflection, sharing that Yash Chopra had later offered her Aaina, but she couldn’t take it up as she got married at 18 and stepped away from films. “Nonetheless, my dear friend Amrita Singh did a fabulous job in Aaina,” she added.
Her heartfelt post offered fans a glimpse into the charm and grace of Bollywood’s golden era and the sweet beginning of her journey with a Five Star in hand.
