5 facts about Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

Sonam Kapoor was born on 9 June 1985 to the Bollywood superstar Anil Kapoor and former model and designer Sunita Kapoor. Even though she was born with silver spoon in her mouth as people would think, her mum always let her and her siblings experience life like a normal person, as she said during an interview. Sonam went to Arya Vidya Mandir School in Juhu, Mumbai and United World College of South East Asia in Singapore. She also went to University of East London but later moved to University of Mumbai to study economics and political science.

Sonam’s first job was as a waitress when she was 15 years old, which only lasted for a week. She later joined as an assistant for director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movie Black. Her debut film was Saawariya in 2007 with Ranvir Kapoor, which was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.


Sonam Kapoor Ahuja is the queen of Cannes. Every year she amazes everyone with her looks. One of the outfits from recent Cannes appearance was by Ralph and Russo, which was a lehenga scattered with tiny Swarovski crystal pearls and beads. She stepped out with her wedding mendhi and that turned a lot of heads and as many said she looked like an Indian princess.

Sonam became fashionista of Bollywood quite easily with her dressing sense. She is surely a fashion icon for many females in India. In 2017, Sonam and her sister Rhea, came out with a fashion line called Rheson with Shoppers Stop, which is a high street brand. Sonam said that “our clothes are for every Indian girl.”

Sonam married Anand Ahuja on 8 May 2018, who is Delhi based businessman. They tied the knot in a traditional Sikh wedding at Kavita Singh’s Rockdale mansion in Bnadstand, Bandra.

Highlights:

  • Dulquer Salmaan says he was pushed around on early Hindi film sets

  • Compares Bollywood’s entourage culture with simple Malayalam sets
  • Says perception drives behaviour on larger Hindi productions

Dulquer Salmaan has spoken plainly about how different his early days in Hindi cinema felt. The actor, now seen as a pan-India name, said the size and pace of the industry forced him to project a sense of stardom he did not believe in. It became a matter of survival on set. The comments came during a roundtable with THR India, where he revisited those first months after Karwaan and The Zoya Factor. He kept using one simple point to explain it: perception. A word that keeps coming up when artists talk about hierarchy on Mumbai sets.
