Actor Anil Kapoor is proud of his daughter’ work in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga and he lauded her for the choices she makes. Anil has also played a key role in this film and it marks his first collaboration on screen with his daughter.

He said, "She is making such brave choices. I feel 'Ek Ladki...' gives Sonam another opportunity to prove what she's worth. Her performance is not overpitched. She is never over dramatic because she relates with real people and situations through her first-hand experiences. She's widely read and travelled. She connects to her character in 'Ek Ladki...' and expresses the character's emotions with such natural grace," Anil said with pride in his voice.

According to Anil, it is necessary for an "actor to make risky choices in life" and he is "glad" that Sonam has played the role of a lesbian in the film. Anil also shared that he wishes to direct Sonam in the future. "If I ever direct a film it will only be so that I get to direct my daughter. Yes, my film as a director would have Sonam and no other actor, as the protagonist."
