Here's an interview.

At 9:42 you guys can guess where her accent comes from. Your guess is as good as mine 😆

During Barfi promotions, she was sidelined.. I remember PC trying to cut in her answers once and Ranbir was like, 'let her answer' (something to that effect) so maybe being the sole female lead in HE has given her wings..

Either way, why is arrogance acceptable for some, under the guise of being endearing and not ok for her, especially someone as entitled as Sonam. :S

Anyway from what I've seen, she tries hard to fit in, with the way she was all pally with Varun.. accent is a weird hybrid, probably why Saif gels with her, 'western Kajol' jo hai.

Just watched that interview with Govinda, other than Her accent, she seems normal to me. Definitely did not seem high handed or pretentious.

Her accent is seriously annoying and she really does have a weird personality.

After watching her zoom interview, she seems normal to me too like Dex said. However, her accent is still annoying but it doesn't seem like she's putting on an accent.. I think it's just the say she talks. I find PC and Aish accent and interviews way more annoying.

She is known to be a nasty piece of work in south. Was kicked out of many high profile movies due to her high-handed behaviour. However she learnt her lesson and started behaving better in the last 2-3 years.

So what you say doesn't surprise me.

Uh... Highhanded behavior.. or self-respect?

An excerpt from her old interview...

How could you do the first six films without enjoying them?
I felt like an alien in the Telugu industry. It bothered me that they did not take me seriously. My father being an extremely liberal man, I found a lot of difference in the culture. I was brought up believing that I can do what a man can. But the fact that a woman can be put down in some culture is something I could not relate with. In the Telugu industry, it is customary for a woman to stand up in the presence of a director or a star. On my first film, this assistant director came to me hurriedly and said, 'Stand up. Stand up!' I said, 'Why?' And he said, 'The director is coming.' I don't agree with that and don't believe in fawning over someone irrespective of who he is, be it the President of the United States or anyone else. You need to respect that person in your mind. Standing up means nothing. It bothered me that they expected me to behave in a certain fashion. It could be construed as arrogance, but actually I am my own person. I don't like treating you differently, basis your status. There are a lot of people who hated me, but still worked with me.

I get the same snobby/stuck up vibes off of her too
