Sonam Kapoor says even the thought of casting two big actresses together, without a male A-list actor, never occurred to anyone in Bollywood | #VeereDiWedding


Sonam K Ahuja wears many hats with aplomb. She is not only a popular actor but also has a successful clothing label with her sister Rhea Kapoor. On the career front, she seems to have struck a perfect balance between the characters she essays and her movies that become memorable. Like her last release Pad Man that was the first mainstream Bollywood film to talk about menstrual hygiene, in which she played an important role. This came after Neerja (2016), which earned her the National Award Special Mention for her inspiring performance.

She is also a suave fashionista whose every public appearance is looked forward to. As an industry person says, "Sonam has such an amazing sartorial sense that you can be sure she will be talked about more than other actresses at the same event.


Isn't it odd that in all these years, no one thought of casting you and Kareena together?

Did it ever occur to anyone in the industry to cast two A-list female actresses together without A-list men? This is the first time that has happened. I think that itself is cool.

The first two weren't A-listers. Kangana wasn't then. Madz and Juhi past their prime. Don't wanna comment on 3rd.

I suppose it is true. I can't think of any though I'm sure there must be some. But rarely in commercial cinema I think. Damn. Sometimes Sonam comes up with real gems.
But I think mostly male A-listers also work together in movies where there are A-list actresses as well. I can't think of any which meets her criteria for males either 😕
