With gracing almost a dozen high profile magazines and being a part of the L'Oreal Paris dream team, Sonam is very close to her father and seeks advice from him on professional matters. For instance, it was Daddy Kapoor who suggested that Sonam debut with Saawariya for which Sonam had clarified, "I liked the role, so I took it up. And of course, it wouldn't be intelligent on my part not to take my papa's advice." |
