Bollywood fashionista Sonam Kapoor who has held her stardom with great panache despite of a roller coaster career in films, claims that she is not competing with any other actress but herself. "I never compete with any of the heroines, whether I am starring alongside them or not. I don't think there is any reason to look at any competition and work. I truly believe that I am my own competition and that's the way I wish to be," said Sonam after having a not so impressive Cannes visit this year.

According to Sonam, she doesn't want to do films just for the heck of it. No matter what is the fate of the film, Sonam believes that people should remember her for her performance. "One of the major reasons why I am seen in few films is that most of them have demanded a lot of time from me. I don't want to do something forgettable. Whether a movie works or not, people should remember the character that I have played. This is the reason why they still know me as Bittoo, Aisha, Aayat, Simran or Sakina. I work hard but then I want to have a life besides movies as well," added Sonam.
