Sonam Kapoor Ahuja
Actor Sonam Kapoor is a global fashion and luxury icon. She has stood out with her fashion game and has played a role in revolutionising the red carpet looks in Bollywood and her towering impact and equity with all major global fashion and luxury brands.
Opening up about her passion for fashion, Sonam shared, "I love fashion. My mum used to be a fashion designer. So, I grew up surrounded by fashion. When I entered the industry, I noticed that red carpet looks were not so common, in fact non-existent, and I wanted to wear beautiful things and go on the red carpet. I started doing that without realising I was different from everyone else."
She added, "My passion for films and fashion led me to create that impact. I am enjoying fashion and beautiful things without taking myself too seriously. Fashion is supposed to be fun, an escape. It's important to appreciate the beauty and goodness in life."
According to a global fashion report, Sonam was amongst the list of celebrities like Zendaya, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Blackpink, BTS, etc who had the highest impact for luxury fashion brands in 2023!
Actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja was recently seen in the film 'Blind' directed by Shome Makhija and also starring Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, and Lillete Dubey in prominent roles. The film marked Sonam's return to acting after a maternity break. She will next be seen in the film 'Battle for Bittora'. The details of her other project have been kept under wraps.
Talking about returning to work after giving birth to son Vayu in 2022, Sonam said, "I took two years off as I was pregnant and then wanted to take some time off with my son. Two years are not done yet and I have signed onto two projects - one show and one film that I will start working on. It will release in another year, because that is how films work. Then my idea is to do two pieces of content every year, that's it, not more because I want to spend time with my family as well."
