When asked about being a fashion diva, the actress claimed, "It's not a responsibility to be a fashion diva. I enjoy it and also enjoy getting up in morning and putting on make-up, getting ready. I don't think there is any girl, who does not like to not look good and wear good clothes."

Confident to face the camera: Sonam has always been very camera friendly. The actress always makes her presence felt at events and parties. However, she claims that she is very simple when it comes to her personal choices. The actress has portrayed different roles and gets into the skin of her character when it comes to films. Sonam's simplicity has charmed one and all. Even her fans don't want her to change and love her for her upfront attitude.

Bold statements: Sonam Kapoor has always been honest and candid during her public interactions. The actress also spoke openly about her relationships. In an interview, she said, "I have no baggage with my relationships and everything I have done is with all heart. Even if something doesn't work out, I am friends with all of them. There is nothing dirty about the break-up. Also, if it doesn't end on a negative, it's easy to be friends with your exes. It's not tough but the closure is important." When asked about her real life expectations, Sonam said, "I like potential in people. If I find someone, who has lot of potential and can do something with life then I don't see bank balance, which family he comes from, or his religion. I am extremely idealistic and extremely impractical in life which is not the best thing on this planet but it has held me in good position till now."

Choice of films: Sonam Kapoor has made some bold choices when it comes to her films. After being termed as glam diva, the actress did not hesitate to do de-glam roles in films like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Sonam was also confident when she took up a challenging role like Raanjhanaa. Dhanush and Sonam thrilled one and all with their on-screen camaraderie. In the past, when asked about her opinion on banning item numbers in films or requesting girls to dress in a certain way to reduce crime, Sonam had said, "I think it's so stupid to think about banning songs. So what if we wear certain type of clothes or do certain things? We are not doing anything wrong. Men have to look at us differently."

Bikini: Sonam Kapoor wore a bikini in Bewakoofiyaan for the first time in her Bollywood career. The actress worked on her body and made sure that she took everyone by surprise. She looked her glam best and managed to grab attention. In an interview, Sonam had said, "I am trying to be a girl who is real and has an opinion. Might say stupid things but not scared of men and for me that's important."

International presence: Sonam Kapoor is not only famous in India, but has made a special place for herself internationally too. The actress is also known for her red carpet appearances at the Cannes Film Festival. In an interview with IANS, Tommy Hilfiger praised Sonam. When asked if he follows any particular actor or actress in the tinsel town, he was quick to name Sonam. "Sonam Kapoor is amazing. She is beautiful, smart and incredible," said Tommy Hilfiger, who has spent 30 years in the fashion industry creating new trends.

Independence: Sonam is a Kapoor girl, but she is independent and confident. In an interview with TOI, Sonam said, "I have only worked for the past few years. I don't do too many things at the same time. I do very classy things as opposes to 'mass-y' things in life. For the last nine years, I am working and haven't take a rupee from my father. To maintain my lifestyle I couldn't take holidays in the last few years. For the first time I made enough money to take a holiday and have saved for a vacation," added the Kapoor daughter. She further revealed that her father Anil Kapoor gives more importance to her career than her relationships. "My dad is cool and chilled out. He doesn't think it's important to marry early. For my dad it's about my career as he knows how important it is for me. He wants me to be a better actor and a better person and make great films. That's his ambition for me. When it comes to relationships it's all secondary. He doesn't pay much importance to it which is how I think parents in India should be. Parents should think about your growth as professional career rather than who are you going to get married to," said the actress.

Intelligent and well read: Sonam Kapoor is intelligent and also well read. She is known to speak her heart out about issues and expresses her views on many actresses in Bollywood who try to be diplomatic. She claims that it is not the right way to inspire the youth. On being asked about the changing situation of women in the industry, Sonam said, "I hope the condition of women changes in India. Bollywood is different. For me films are the reflection of what society is. The society needs to change and then films will change. Films and art don't dictate society, they reflect society. I am trying very hard in terms of small things, the way I conduct myself and talk to people. There are lot of heroines, who are prim and proper and are diplomatic. They don't want to give opinions and don't want to speak about anyone. In many ways, we are setting a wrong example for the girls and that's not a cool thing to do. The society should change," added Sonam.

In demand among directors and Bollywood loves her: Sonam is the favourite among many Bollywood directors and actors. Her Ranjhanaa co-star, Swara in a conversation with TOI had said, "Sonam is a very nice girl. She is a very warm person and I have not seen someone as secure as Sonam Kapoor."
