Sonam Kapoor Controversics
- Sonam showed her finger: The actress grabbed eyeballs when she showed her middle finger to the press. During the promotions of her film Players starring Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu, the actress flashed her middle finger at a conference. Sonam, who never fails from proclaiming how young and spontaneous she is, said, “I don’t believe in censorship, so whether they like it or not, I really don’t care about it. I just want people to come and see my film. Showing a middle finger is a part of today’s youth.” The middle finger-act came into the limelight after the Censor Board objected to Sonam Kapoor’s middle finger-act in Players. (Watch Video)
- Aishwarya Rai is an ‘aunty’: Sonam shocked all when she openly referred to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as ‘aunty’. The catfight began when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was replaced by Sonam for a cosmetic brand as their brand ambassador. Sonam went on to proclaim her success and her future walk at Cannes. But the actress could not walk the red carpet that year. Gossip mongers alleged that Ash had a hand in it. But Sonam allegedly retorted by saying that ‘Aishwarya is an aunty from another generation.’ Apparently, Sonam tried to come up with the cliche, ‘I have been misquoted’, after this entire episode.
- Sonam Kapoor exposed Shobha De: After Shobha De’s not-so-kind take on Sonam Kapoor starrer I Hate Luv Stories, Sonam decided to hit back. And the diva chose none other than Karan Johar’s chat show to give it all back. Not only did she hint at Shobha De’s cosmetic surgeries but also made fun of her by calling her a ‘bad writer’. If all this was not enough Sonam, again accused Shobha De of favoring Ranbir Kapoor. Though she later tried to conceal the damage done by stressing on the fact that her sister Rhea and De’s daughter are ‘close pals’.
- Katrina is ‘shameless’: Sonam referred to Katrina Kaif as shameless. In an interview with Anupama Chopra, the actress expressed her desire to send a bouquet to Katrina. On being asked the reason behind it she said, “I don’t know how she does that. You need a certain kind of commitment and a certain kind of shamelessness to do certain things.”
