Facts you might not know about the star include:
Kapoor’s First Job was as a Waitress
The lady who has appeared on your screens many times did not just jump into the acting scene. She has had a gig with other careers before becoming a household name. Sonam remembers her first job was waiting tables. She took up the responsibility despite being daddy’s little princess. She rolled up her sleeves and took on the responsibility in a bid to supplement her pocket money. She worked at a Mexican restaurant in Singapore.
Sonam Kapoor is not a fan of Live-In Relationships
The young lady would opt to remain single all her life rather than get into one of those live-in relationships. Instead, she prefers marriage saying that such unions never seem to lead to life-long commitment. She confirms that living with someone without marriage is just an easy way out and people should go all out if they want to commit. Sonam, however, once stated that she would not like to date an actor so that she could get to spend quality time with her spouse. Word out there is that she does not like men with beards.
Her Weight once Brought her Tears
Kapoor has gone through a significant transformation in her life as she was once overweight. She does not like discussing this part of her life because many people made it their business to ridicule her before she joined the movies for her weight. She had to lose weight to get the roles she now has. The young girl was also hurt and shed tears when her boyfriend at the time made blatant comments about her weight. Sonam could not stand this, and she opted out of the relationship.
She was a Director at age 17
When Kapoor was only seventeen, she got the golden opportunity to become an assistant director. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, a professional director, gave her the job. It, however, did not last long because, on her first day, she got the role in the production she was supposed to direct. Sanjay offered her the position telling her that she looked like an Anjata painting. It did wonders for Kapoor’s self-esteem because she was not confident that she had good looks and was second-guessing on whether she could take up the role. The director took about one and a half years to convince her that she was the best person for the position.
The Kid Star Uses her Family as a Shield
Since she was a young girl, Sonam Kapoor had always turned to her brother for protection. She primarily uses her brothers’ names as though they were some heroes. If there was anyone who messed with her in school, Soman could run to her brother who would help her. As a young lady she has used her brothers’ names a couple of times to get rid of admirers she does not fancy.
