My husband is my lucky mascot: Sonam

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja can’t get over talking about luck these days. Quite naturally, because she is getting in the mood for the release of her next film

The Zoya Factor, where she plays a character who turns out to be the lucky mascot for the Indian cricket team at the World Cup.

Asked if she believed in luck, and who her lucky mascot in life was, Sonam named her husband Anand Ahuja.

“My husband (Anand Ahuja) is my lucky mascot,” declared the actress, while interacting with the media at a special screening of The Zoya Factor on Monday in Mumbai.

In the film, while Sonam plays Zoya Solanki, who becomes a lucky charm for the Indian Cricket team during the 2011 Cricket World Cup, she is cast opposite Dulquer Salman, cast as the captain of the team who does not believe in luck and superstitions.

The Zoya Factor clashes at the box-office with the Sanjay Dutt-starrer Prassthanam on Friday. Talking about the

clash, Sonam said: “I would like to congratulate makers of Prassthanam for its release. I hope it does well. Ours is a small film and that film features Sanjay Dutt so, I would like to wish them all the best for the release.”

Angad Bedi, Sikandar Kher, Dulquer Salmaan, former Indian cricketers Zaheer Khan and Ajit Agarkar and Sonam’s uncle Sanjay Kapoor attended the screening with their wives.

A few days back, cricket maestro Sachin Tendulkar watched the trailer of the Abhishek Sharma-directed film and was all praise for Sonam and Dulquer.

He tweeted: “Just watched the trailer of ‘The Zoya Factor’.
