MUMBAI: Coldplay’s latest single Hymn For The Weekend may be under fire for cultural appropriation but Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor is over the moon about being in the video and getting VIP access to all the band’s concerts.
In an interview with Gulf News Tabloid!, Sonam said that although her part in the music video was for a mere few seconds, she would not have given up the chance for anything.
“First of all, I am in a Chris Martin video and I am a huge fan of Coldplay. When I was in high school, I grew up (listening to) Oasis, Coldplay and U2. And if somebody told me at 16 that I was going to be in a video, I would go: ‘shut up’,” she said. “So when Chris Martin’s agent told my agent that they really like [me] and they want [me] to do a cameo, my agent was like: ‘it’s just three shots’.” “But I was like it’s Coldplay, dude. I get VIP access to them forever,” Sonam said.
Sonam is currently in Dubai to promote her hijack drama, Neerja, releasing in the UAE on Feb. 18.
Cameo in Coldplay video? Why not, says Sonam
