Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor once feared being labeled as a "fashionista who can't act." In a 2016 interview with The Quint , the 39-year-old Bollywood star expressed her desire to be recognized predominantly for her acting prowess beyond the label of a "fashion diva." The Prem Ratan Dhan Payo actress elaborated on her desire to direct a film in the future and to be recognized for aspects beyond public perception.
Sonam revealed, “I’ve been writing short stories, I have concepts for three scripts and I hope to direct a film myself. I was fed up of being branded as a fashion diva who can’t act."' "Such prejudices did affect my self-pride.
During the last two years, I went through a troubled phase." "I wanted to disown myself. But there’s light at the end of depression.
I’ve smartened up. I’m a homebody, I’m thoughtful and I can be uber glamorous. As the Whitney Houston song goes, I’m every woman," the Veere Di Wedding starlet added.
In terms of her professional endeavors, Sonam Kapoor's most recent film role was in the crime thriller Blind , which premiered on July 7, 2023, under the direction of Shome Makhija. She is slated to appear in the eagerly awaited Battle for Bittora..
