Here's what Sonam looked like when she weighed 90-odd kgs
Sonam Kapoor's weight loss has been often discussed, but the actress kept her overweight pictures neatly tucked away. Now, for the first time, Sonam has shared a photo of her plump days. Kapoor is the Crush of the Month for fitness magazine Men's Health.Apart from being the Fantasy Cover girl of the month, Sonam has also opened up and talked in detail about how she was determined to lose weight. Kapoor lost 35 kgs during her transformation.
Have mom to thank
Talking to the magazine that's hit the stands she says, "We are from Peshawar - a city where rich food and eating with abandon are a way of life.I'm proud of my roots, but I realise it is neither practical nor healthy to live that way. Being an actor, I need to be healthy all year round. Having a health-conscious mother has been a blessing."
When asked how she ended up putting on weight Sonam says, "I put on weight in boarding school in Singapore, when Mum was not around to ensure I ate wholesome meals."
Keeping her fitness regime simple, she adds, "My mantra for weight loss: weight training, artistic yoga and power yoga, pilates and my Kathak training which is vigorous and helped me tone my body."
Supporting her effort to keep up on the right track and continue her fitness mantra her dad gave her a fat-free cake on her birthday. "I thought I had slimmed down enough, but my dad gave me a fat-free, sugar-free cake on my birthday this year, just to remind me that I am in an industry full of female actors who are slimmer than me!"

Sonam Kapoor learns to mind her tone!
Just if you've imagined Sonam Kapoor to be one of those star kids who's getting everything on a platter, think again.
The actress is working real hard to get into the skin of her character in Ayesha, a film that her father Anil Kapoor is producing. Mid-Day reports Abhay Deol and Sonam Kapoor are attending voice modulation workshops to 'get intonation and diction right'.
"Sonam plays the role of a high-society girl from Delhi. It's a first person account and a chick flick/romcom like Clueless and 13 Going On 30, told from the girl's point of view," the paper quotes a source as having said.
Working on Sonam's voice is popular Vagina Monologues actress Jayati Bhatia. The paper reports that Sonam Kapoor attends the workshop every day for almost five hours.
While the actress confirmed to the paper that she was attending workshops for her part in Ayesha, she refused to divulge any details about it.
Ayesha is to be directed by Rajshri Ojha and is said to be an adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Emma.

Ash play a wicked game with Sonam
Sonam Kapoor is terribly upset with Aishwarya Bachchan as the latter stood as a roadblock to her walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. Sonam who had been signed as a brand ambassador for L'Oreal and was to walk the red carpet a Cannes with other beauties including Aishwarya, Penelope Cruz, Kerry Washington, Beyonce Knowles, Eva Longoria and Scarlett Johansson.The excited Sonam in an interview dug her own grave when she offended Aishwarya. Sonam had said would be endorsing the youth brand and Aishwarya would appeal to the older women. This certainly did not go down too well with the former Miss World who has been a face of L'Oreal in India for years. Ash refused to walk the red carpet with Sonam and the L'Oreal had to bow down before her demands.
L'Oreal on its part maintained that Sonam's comments had created a lot of adverse effect and to prevent any escalation of the controversy they had asked the Saawariya actress to stay out of Cannes. Well it can be easily understood on whose request Sonam missed a ticket to the Cannes. As for Sonam she surely will never let her excitement get over her mind in future.

Ash not behind Sonam's broken Cannes Dream
There were rumours that actress and L'Oreal ambassador Aishwarya Rai may have held back Sonam Kapoor from walking the Cannes red carpet. But sources close to the former beauty queen say she didn't even know that Sonam was to visit the French film festival.
"She (Aishwarya) did not even know that Sonam was going to be at Cannes because she was there for just two days (May 13-14) where her days were packed with back-to-back interactions with the international media, fashion shoots for various European fashion magazines and other business meetings besides attending all the events at the festival," a source close to Aishwarya said.

Anyone can go to the Cannes Film Festival as a visitor and that is how many in the film fraternity and normal public go from across the world.
Confusion ensued when L'Oreal issued a list of those ambassadors that were to represent the brand at the French festival and Sonam's name was missing from it. This, despite a formal announcement made by the company officials on Sonam's presence at the Cannes at a press conference in Mumbai on May 10.
Sonam, who was earlier set to leave for Cannes on Monday and was excited to rub shoulders with Aishwarya and Hollywood A-listers like Elizabeth Banks and Eva Longoria, finally did not go for the film festival when company officials asked her to stay back.
According to media reports released thereafter, Aishwarya was not very upbeat about the fact that Sonam would share the same stage with her as the face of L'Oreal and asked company officials to deny her the opportunity of being there.
But clarifying their decision of holding back Sonam to go for Cannes, a spokesperson from L'Oreal said in a press release, "We do not want to take part in or encourage any controversy involving our spokespeople. There were adverse reports in certain sections of media after some comments by Sonam Kapoor, which were presented out of context.
"Following this, in order to avoid further escalation, we have advised Sonam not to go to Cannes as was planned earlier, bearing in mind that there would be more interesting opportunities for future appearances in Europe for her."

Ash isn’t happy with hot Sonam
She has stolen many hearts even though she hasn’t made it big on Bollywood yet, but Ash isn’t impressed yet.
Ever since Sonam made a remark about Mrs. Bachchan, saying that she belonged to another generation, Ash has seemed miffed. She went on to blame it on Sonam’s immaturity and juvenile mindset.
If this wasn’t enough, former Miss World wants the young gun to apologise for making the statement. We say, before Pa Big B can shoot out at Sonam dear about her remark, he should help Ash come to terms with her age! She isn’t young blood any more, after all!

Sonam Kapoor shines at L’Oreal Party
L’Oreal brand ambassador Sonam Kapoor who is part of the L’Oreal Paris Dream team was the main attraction at the party hosted by the International cosmetic brand at Olive, Bandra on Sunday May 10th. While the party began at around late noon that is almost an hour later than the scheduled time, it went on to rock till evening time.
There was heavy rush amongst present photographers and electronic media to capture her on camera but after her initial few seconds of posing she didn’t show much interest in getting clicked. This disappointed a lot of still photographers who were expecting to catch more of her on their camera, as also because she was looking extremely pretty.
It was a full on Page 3 event of sorts what with top models from the fashion industry being present also along Bollywood A-listers such as Karan Johar, Ritesh Deshmukh, filmmakers Kunal Kohli and Dostana fame Tarun Mansukhani. Tarun and Ritesh for a long time were engaged in discussion about films. That actually left us wondering whether Ritesh was being roped in for Dostana 2.
Amrita Rao made a quiet and entry and without hanging much around left quietly as well. -Sampurn Media

Katrina Kaif Pips Sonam Kapoor to the Post
Katrina Kaif may have been often crticised for her thick British accent, but it seems to have worked in her favour finally. Kaif has bagged a role in Dibakar Banerjee next film, which Sonam Kapoor had her eyes on.
Sonam was extremely keen to work with the Oye Lucky Lucky Oye director and even though she had a reliable line of communication with Dibakar through his favourite leading man Abhay Deol (also the leading man in Sonam's home production Ayesha), she lost the role to Kat.
Apparently, the role in the film, which stars Imran Khan and Abhay Deol, was written with Katrina in mind.
Says a source, "Anil Kapoor was very keen to have his daughter work with Dibakar.
He even called the director home and showed him a show reel prepared for an international project.
The director is also keen to work with Sonam but he sees her as the archetypal Indian beauty. That's not what Dibakar's new Imran-Abhay romance requires."
Dibakar's heroine must be partly firangi, so Katrina with her firangi accent is perfect for the part.
For the film, Katrina would have to mirror her real-life personality. She is of mixed parentage, as is the character she portrays in Dibakar's untitled film.
Says the source, "Katrina approached Dibakar and expressed her desire to work with him.
As luck would have it Katrina is just the leading lady Dibakar was looking for. He really couldn't think of anyone else for the part."
Better luck next time, Sonam.

I don’t want to be just Arm Candy: Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor is all for getting into the commercial groove after doing off-beat films and says she won’t mind playing Lara Dutta’s role in “No Entry” or Priyanka Chopra’s character in “Dostana”. But she is clear that she doesn’t want to be seen as just “arm candy” in song and dance sequences.
“I’m all game for doing movies that are set in commercial parlance,” said Sonam, who is choosing her projects carefully.
“I’m all game for doing movies that are set in commercial parlance,” said Sonam, who is choosing her projects carefully.
“It’s a misconception that after films like ‘Saawariya’ and ‘Delhi-6′, I’m only looking at films with serious overtones. All I look for is meat in my role.”
“See, I have never looked down upon hardcore commercial cinema. It’s just that I never wish to be an arm candy who does four songs, a couple of scenes and then vanishes away from screen. Those are not at all the kind of roles that excite me,” added Sonam, who will be seen in her father Anil Kapoor’s home production titled “Ayesha”.
The 23-year-old may have suffered two box office failures in the “Delhi-6″ and “Saawariya”, but that hasn’t hampered her passion for movies.
“Give me a meaningful role and I will do it even if it is hardcore commercial. Who says Bollywood masala movies do not have good roles for heroines? Look at what Lara Dutta did in ‘No Entry’. Now that’s a kind of role that I certainly don’t mind doing,” she said.
Any other reference points?
“Priyanka Chopra’s role in ‘Dostana’,” she said promptly. “She was so good in the movie and the character was extremely well-written as well.”
Incidentally, Lara had played Anil’s wife in “No Entry” while Sonam’s “Delhi-6″ co-star Abhishek Bachchan was seen with Priyanka in “Dostana”.

No Rules for SRK: Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor may be just two films old, but she is choosy about her roles and has drafted strict guidelines for herself to sign movies.
The young actress is, however, willing to make exceptions if the man opposite her happens to be Robert De Niro or Shah Rukh Khan.
"Well, why would one actually ask questions if paired opposite Robert De Niro?" asks Sonam with a mischievous smile. "You should consider yourself plain fortunate to just share a common frame with him. In fact, I will be happy to even walk past a frame featuring him. No questions asked. Period."
Sonam teamed up with Ranbir Kapoor in her debut vehicle "Saawariya" and she was seen with Abhishek Bachchan in her second film "Dilli 6". She is now looking forward to a movie with superstar Shah Rukh.
"He is another man for whom I will be so very willing to ignore my rule book. I would be more than happy to go ahead and sign a film if Shah Rukh happens to be my hero," says Sonam, a self-confessed Shah Rukh fan.
"There are exceptions that one makes about the size and content of the role when it comes to working with legendary actors; De Niro and Shah Rukh just fit the bill," she said.
However, when it comes to working on films with anyone lesser, Sonam certainly has her do's and don'ts in place.
"I don't intend to do films where all I am required to do is to dance in four songs and enact a couple of emotional scenes. By no means am I looking at that kind of cinema," she said.
Though the formal announcement of her next film is yet to take place, reports are that Sonam's next will be for her dad's production house. The film is called "Ayesha" and is based on Jane Austen's novel "Emma".
According to industry sources, Sonam will be making a complete about turn from her "Saawariya" and "Delhi 6" image and take on a completely new ultra-chic avtar. The film will feature Abhay Deol along with newcomer Arunodoy Singh, who will soon make his debut with "Sikandar".
Sonam and Imran Khan are meanwhile reportedly being considered by Kunal Kohli for his next film that would be directed by his assistant Danish Aslam. However, confirmation is still awaited around this young love story.

Sonam doesn't want Anil Kapoor to play her Screen dad
Says Sonam, who doesn't want to do a father-daughter act on screen with her papa, Anil Kapoor
Those who want to see Sonam with her dad Anil Kapoor will have to wait for a long time. They are just not inclined to work together.
There's a pivotal role in Anil Kapoor's home production Ayesha (based on Emma) starring Sonam, that he was supposed to play. But Anil, high on the global success of Slumdog Millionaire, is not doing it.
My dad is young
Explains proud daughter Sonam, "Do you really think he looks like my Dad? No! He doesn't. He looks far younger than his age. And that's why I wouldn't want him to play my father. The role in Ayesha that you're mentioning, didn't suit him. My dad can't play the conventional father."
Nahi matlab nahi!
In fact, earlier Anil had been offered a role in Rakeysh Mehra's Delhi-6 with Sonam. Both father and daughter had decided against it. In fact, Sonam was more against the idea of their coming together than Anil.
"And that's how it remains even now," laughs the actress just back from Sri Lanka, after a phoot-shoot for a magazine, "I really feel we wouldn't look like father and daughter on screen.
We'd rather wait a while until I'm older. Because my father isn't going to oblige by looking older."
Age no bar
Point out to her that some of Anil's leading ladies are about her age and she chuckles, "That's right and my father looks very well-matched with all his co-stars.
He's quite something. And now, after Slumdog he has entered another innings in his career. His career keeps getting re-invented. I'm afraid he has set impossible standards for me."

Sonam's 1st Bollywood Actress to get specially designed Chanel Gown
Sonam Kapoor's metamorphosis as a fashion diva came full circle on Saturday night at the Filmfare awards. She became the only Bollywood actress to wear a specially-designed gown by Chanel.
Feel like Cinderella
The ebullient actress could barely contain her excitement. "I just kept staring at the beautiful, basic but simple white gown they sent me.
Yes, I think I'm the first Indian celebrity to be dressed by Chanel in Bollywood. I'm so excited. I felt like Cinderella before the ball. Never before have I been so excited about dressing up for an event."
Apparently, after seeing Sonam's spate of sophisticated magazine covers, Chanel voluntarily decided to send her a gown from their special-celebrity closet.
"That's right. My off-shoulder gown came from their special-celebrity collection," laughs Sonam triumphantly. "They just flew over three Chanel gowns for me to choose from.
I liked the white one. I prefer light shades. And I avoid accessories. They take away from the basic look of your clothes.
And what Chanel sent me for the Filmfare awards certainly needed no enchancement. It was divine, per se."
A lot of designers are comparing Sonam to Penelope Cruz. "It was Sanjay Leela Bhansali who first compared me to her. I think it's a huge compliment.
It isn't as if I'm making a conscious effort to dress fashionably. I wear what I'm comfortable in."

Sonam Kapoor goes chic for her dad's next, Ayesha
Devika Bhagat, who wrote the fiercely contemporary Bachna Ae Heseeno as a Ranbir Kapoor vehicle has been roped in by producer-papa Anil Kapoor to give his daughter Sonam Kapoor an ultra-chic image in Ayesha.
Yes it's official. Anil Kapoor's adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma has been rechristened Ayesha in Hindi.
And though the project's official spokespersons would have us believe that "nothing is finalised yet", the Desi Emma is all set to roll in April.
While Abhay Deol has been cast as the man who will secretly love Ayesha until the end, newcomer Arunodoy Singh is the Victorian Casanova whom Emma will chase till kingdom come.
Daddy, for reel?
An interesting bit of casting rumour is of Anil Kapoor playing Sonam's father in the film as well. It's reliably learnt that Anil Kapoor is reluctant to be cast as his daughter's father at a time whem he's playing the lead with the likes of Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.
The most interesting aspect of the desi version of Emma would be its translocation from 19th century England to the present-day metropolis.
After two back-to-back films (Saawariya and Delhi 6) that required her to romp largely in an ethnic salwar-kameez kind of sartorial grace, Ayesha will finally see Sonam blossom into the diva-avatar that she has so passionately assumed in recent months for magazine covers.
Says a source, "Though Sonam is happy to have been seen mainly as a tradition-bound girl in her first two films, she's itching to break free of the desi good-girl image.
Ayesha will be her first stab at an ultra-chic role."
Interestingly, like Ranbir in Bachna Ae Haseeno, Sonam will have three men played by Abhay Deol, Arunoday Singh and veejay Cyrus Sahukar pursuing her in Ayesha.

Sonam Kapoor reveals her only regret
Sonam Kapoor has become an actor today but she was quite inclined towards academics in her growing up years. In fact one wish that she still has it to become a college graduate. Reason? After Class XII, she discontinued her studies and started concentrating in films.
''I really wanted to study more, especially language'', says Sonam who will soon be seen in Delhi-6 this weekend, ''I have completed my Class XII and though English and Hindi were my favourite subjects, it's a pity that I couldn't pursue them further. I still feel bad that I haven't done my graduation.''
Talking about her love for reading, she also shares an interesting fact about herself. She is not just fascinated with the English language but also loves studying subjects like History and Geography.
''That's true'', confirms Sonam, ''While I had a soft corner for languages, it wasn't possible for me to stay away from History and Geography for long. I always enjoyed my stint with studies during school and for me reading was a lot of fun. What also helped me engage in studies was the fact that I didn't have to do the same things time and over again. I was constantly learning.''
For the moment, it's her brother Harshvardhan Kapoor who is keeping her abreast about the finer techniques of cinema.
''He is currently studying screen writing and I keep calling him and understanding from him the new things that he is learning. Yes, I get to know some good things of screen writing from him but I would always carry the regret of not being able to study things myself. May be some other day, some other time'', concludes Sonam.
