Actress and fashion icon Sonam Kapoor has shared a glimpse of her new photoshoot for a magazine, promoting acceptance and challenging prejudices. In the shoot, Sonam is seen wearing a white off-shoulder gown with matching bell-shaped sleeves, complemented by minimal makeup and big, colorful ethnic jhumkas. The magazine post features a quote from Sonam: “In a society where traditional views are still prevalent, taking a stand can be controversial, but I believe it’s essential to use whatever platform I have to promote acceptance and fight against prejudices.”
Sonam Kapoor, daughter of actor Anil Kapoor, began her career as an assistant director with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the film ‘Black.’ She made her acting debut in 2007 with the romantic drama ‘Saawariya,’ alongside Ranbir Kapoor. The film, directed and produced by Bhansali, was based on Fyodor Dostoevsky’s 1848 short story ‘White Nights.’
Over the years, Sonam has appeared in various notable films such as ‘Delhi-6,’ ‘I Hate Luv Storys,’ ‘Mausam,’ ‘Raanjhanaa,’ and ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.’ In 2016, she portrayed Neerja Bhanot in the biographical thriller ‘Neerja,’ directed by Ram Madhvani. The film, which included performances by Shekhar Ravjiani, Shabana Azmi, Yogendra Tiku, Kavi Shastri, and Jim Sarbh, depicted the real-life event of the attempted hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi, Pakistan, on September 5, 1986, by the Libyan-backed Abu Nidal Organisation.
Sonam has continued to build her filmography with roles in ‘Pad Man,’ ‘Veere Di Wedding,’ ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga,’ ‘Sanju,’ and ‘Blind.’ On the personal front, she is married to businessman Anand Ahuja, and the couple has a son named Vayu.
