Sonam Kapoor - getting so much attention - Page 2

I don't think she uses her family connections at all. When she left her studies behind, she joined cinema and started her career as assistant director of SLB. Being an actress was in Sonam's fate/Destiny and SLB gave her a lead role where she shed of her weight. Honestly speaking at first i didn't care about her debut movie and really thought she will never make it big. But she PROVED it. She vanished after Saawariya failure at the BO but she worked hard, very hard. People think Fashion is easy, just apply few colors, few designs and that's it. but when she did come back to Magazine she became the top celebrity for magazines, photoshoots. etc. I remember IF members given sonam many nicknames one of them was behenji. but honestly how sonam won so many people hearts is worth praising.

ANd yes Anil always supported her and that's how Father's should be, support their child in every step and she never say she is in Bollywood because of her hard work but because of her father. I don't know how big will she make but whatever she do it would hatke lol

As for Anushka, Asin, Deepika, they all are working hard and let's not put down one actress to make rest good.

Let's get one thing straight. Sonam is only in Bollywood because Anil Kapoor is her father. If she did not have family connections, she would have not even gotten a Karan Johar film. Deepika, Anuskha, Asin did not have family connections and they still are successful anyway. But, it does not matter anyway because Sonam still does not have a all-time blockbuster like Deepika, Anuskha, and Asin did. IHLS will be a success, but will not catapult Sonam as the #1 actress or anything like that. She will be around and sailing by, only because Anil Kapoor will bail her out and ensures his daughter gets the best films. 🥱

Wow... its been a while since I am posting here but feel like in the mood to defend myself on this one so here it goes.

First off, what family connections are you talking about? As far as I know Anil Kapoor is not all buddy buddy with Karan Johar... at least not to the level where he can just ask Karan for a movie for Sonam and Karan will agree right away without thinking twice. Secondly, if it was just family connections then she wouldn't be working with a wide variety of directors from Bhansali to Mehra to newcomers like Punit. They all see something in her and therefore, proceed to offer her movies.

Secondly, you say she is not hardworking and is just given everything... well first off, she herself admitted to being spoon fed in the sense that she was from a film industry and therefore has it easier BUT she did also say that she was completely overweight with a thyroid problem, dealing with polycystic ovarian syndrome and was also a borderline diabetic. The girl has worked HARD to lose over 50 lbs and has been working just as hard to keep up with that schedule.

I wasn't a huge fan till recently when I started to follow her on twitter and saw that she is very well read, extremely sweet to her fans, has an idea of what it means to do movies and is trying hard to do different type of roles.

This post may sound "fan-girly" and I am okay with that, because if she is only in the industry cause of her family then the same can be said about SO many other actor/actresses like Ranbir and Kareena but its not because they too are working really hard to stay in this vicious industry.

It's too soon to say that she will be the next superstar but its too soon to write her off as a just another 15 minute fame girl. Give her time...

=)

You are funny. Question, does the same rule apply to Kareena and Abhishek and Ranbir and god knows how many star children?

Isn't that rude to take away an actor's hard work just because their parents are from the industry?

Dude in which world are you living? Abhay Deol, Bobby Deol, Tushaar Kapoor, Zayed, Fardeen they all are from their parents but does any big banner casted them? NO! Who is Anil Kapoor? Which last movie of his was hit? And do you think he has enough power to tell KJO to cast his own daughter? NO. Do you think anyone knew about Sonam when she was the assistant director of movie Black? I didn't. No one even cared during Saawariya days. If sonam is here, it's because of her own hard work. She has made her papa proud, she could say that she is here because of her papa because a good daughter will always praise their parents for their achievements. Why are you so worried about Sonam and IHLS? As much i love anushka she still has to do so much more to be where sonam is. However i find Sonam and Anushka similar in some way. Be it their debut or personality.

Also Karan isn't friends with Anil at all. Karan and Sonam became friends when Sonam did her first ramp walk. Sonam achieved her success on her own. Yes her family gave her the courage and support.

absolutely....u cannot just label all star kids as talentless people...actors who have it in them to sustain, will sustain. Case in point sonam, ranbir, kareena, hrithik et al. They are in the business because they are good. Pray even esha deol, fardeen khan, zayed khan are all star kids, but she is not as acclaimed as the names mentioned above right? You can't just rob a star kid off their talent by saying that their parents help them get films. The parents might help them in getting their first film, but from thereon, its upto them to handle their careers.

As for Deepkia, Asin and Anushka's "hard work", i cant understand what extra hard work do they put in, which sonam dosen't. Also, how can we judge if an actor's hard working or not??? Its not like we see them at work or something...

urm i think coz during her saawariya days, she used to turn up to every promotional event in a salwar kameez or a chudidaar...and at that time...she didnt really have the best fashion sense to carry of western outfits.
