Sonam Kapoor has said that she is pleased with the response that her new film Aisha has received from audiences.

The actress claimed that the movie, which is an adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma, had been a success considering it only had a small budget.

"I feel like a hero! I feel I’m shouldering the film. It's daunting to know that heroes get an opening at the box office, and then you see my film get an opening! If I may say so, Aisha got a very decent opening. In any case it's not a very big-budgeted film," Kapoor told Real Bollywood.

When speaking about working with her sister Rhea, who produced Aisha, Kapoor added: "Rhea is extremely clear-headed and practical. Which I am not. I am very much into myself. It's a Gemini quality, I guess. It's scary but good. It keeps me shielded from troublesome situations."
