Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor get into a catfight?
Perhaps learning from their mistake, Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor recently turned down an offer to appear on a popular chat show. The producers were even ready to pay them big bucks to make an appearance on the show. However, both the girls declined the offer saying they were ready to appear on it individually.
A source reveals, “They got huge flack for their appearance on ‘Koffee with Karan’. That episode got them both lof of negative publicity. And even though they both have moved on and matured from that experience, they still are not ready to take that risk. Sonam and Deepika used to hang out and be friends at that period, but it isn’t the same anymore. In fact Sonam is not even friends with her ex co-star Ranbir Kapoor anymore.”
After the Koffee with Karan episode aired, Ranbir and his family, especially dad Rishi Kapoor was quite shocked that both the girls had gone on record to say unpleasant things about his son. He was even peeved with Karan for letting them say those things. However Johar personally met and apologised to him and later the two worked together in ‘Student of the Year’. Close friends reveal that it is very unlikely that Sonam and Deepika will be seen on the same platform chatting up in public space ever again.
Sonam K Ahuja
Sonam Kapoor Ahuja (born 9 June 1985) is an Indian film actress. She has received a National Film Award and a Filmfare Award, and from 2012–2016, she appeared in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list based on her income and popularity.
Kapoor, the daughter of actor Anil Kapoor, began her career as an assistant director on filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2005 highly acclaimed drama Black. She later made her acting debut in Bhansali’s romantic drama Saawariya (2007), a box office flop, and had her first commercial successes with the romantic comedy I Hate Luv Storys (2010) and the ensemble romantic comedy-drama Aisha (2010). However, this was followed by a series of commercial failures and repetitive roles, which garnered her negative reviews. The 2013 box office hit Raanjhanaa marked a turning point in Kapoor’s career, garnering her praise and Best Actress nominations at several award ceremonies. Kapoor had her biggest commercial successes with supporting roles in the biopics Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) and Sanju (2018), and a leading role in the romance Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015); the latter two rank among the highest-grossing Bollywood films. Her highly acclaimed portrayal of Neerja Bhanot in the 2016 biographical thriller Neerja won her the National Film Award – Special Mention and a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress, and she followed it with a starring role in the 2018 female buddy film Veere Di Wedding, both of which rank among the highest-grossing female-led Hindi films.
Kapoor supports the raising awareness of breast cancer and LGBT rights. Known in the media for her outspoken personality, she is frequently credited as one of India’s most fashionable celebrities. She is married to the businessman, Anand Ahuja.
Sonam Kapoor Ahuja Philanthropy
Kapoor has supported charitable organisations for various causes. In 2009, she participated in the International Indian Film Academy Awards fashion show, which supports widows and orphans of Indian film-industry workers. On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) she wrote to Maharashtra Home Minister R. R. Patil, protesting against the use of glass-coated manja (used on fighter kites), which kills birds who become entangled in it. In 2018, however, she attracted some controversy when she declared her support for Salman Khan upon his conviction for hunting an endangered blackbuck, despite her previous criticism of trophy hunting.
In 2012, Kapoor asked fans to donate to the Ogaan Cancer Foundation for her birthday, and collaborated with the foundation to increase awareness of breast cancer. She is also the brand ambassador for the Elle Breast Cancer Campaign. Kapoor is vocal in her support for LGBT rights in India. She launched the trailer of the film, Sisak, India’s first silent gay love story, through her Twitter account in January 2017.
Kapoor auctioned some of her clothes on stylist Pernia Qureshi’s online fashion boutique, Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop, in 2012. The proceeds were donated to Smile Foundation, a child-welfare organisation. In 2014, she attended a charitable art exhibition organised by the Rouble Nagi Art Foundation, and donated clothing and accessories to a website raising funds for In Defense of Animals. Kapoor walked the ramp in a 2015 fashion show by Manish Malhotra for the Mijwan Welfare Society, a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering girls. The same year, she appeared with Hrithik Roshan in the music video for “Dheere Dheere”, whose profits were donated to charity. In 2017, she hosted a dinner to raise funds for children suffering from cancer.
