My Take
Sonam Kapoor interests me because of the gap between her image and her instincts. The media crowned her a fashion icon and put her on the Forbes Celebrity 100 for five straight years, yet she built her reputation portraying ordinary Indian women rather than glossy heroines. A National Film Award and a Filmfare Critics prize suggest the industry rewarded substance, not just glamour. I find that balance compelling. It takes real confidence for someone the cameras adore to keep choosing grounded, unglamorous roles, and that quiet discipline earns my respect more than any red-carpet moment.
