I want to get fitter. And yes, I’m learning hot yoga to get a bikini body. I don’t believe one has to sport a size-zero figure to flaunt it. One just needs a fit, sexy and toned body. – Sonam Kapoor
Opposites generally create intense chemistry. There are more chances of fireworks when different people are together than similar personalities. – Sonam Kapoor
It’s unfortunate when people say you can’t wear skirts or do item numbers, or a girl can’t dress in a certain way. Are we going back to dark ages? – Sonam Kapoor
When I get into relationships, I’m an all-or-nothing person. I just completely give in to the person. It becomes my first priority in life; family, friends and career follow. – Sonam Kapoor
I only discovered the ‘Harry Potter’ series in my tenth standard. I dived right into it, often reading non-stop through the day and night. It was the morning after one such readathon when I was to appear for a Chemistry exam. Spending my night with the third edition of Harry Potter didn’t help much, and I fared poorly. – Sonam Kapoor
Style is all about being comfortable. I don’t believe in following a style because it is a trend. I need to be comfortable in my clothes. – Sonam Kapoor
People take things too personally – I don’t. If someone says something about me, I let it go. But unfortunately, everyone isn’t like that. So I’m trying to be more diplomatic – but people always want a headline from me! – Sonam Kapoor
I’m a socially concerned citizen of India. I have strong views on issues of social and political relevance. But it’s very difficult to voice it in an intelligent manner without it sounding contrived. Because people think you’re saying or doing all this as a PR exercise, not from your heart. – Sonam Kapoor
Style is an expression of your individuality. Who you are and what your mood is, is what you wear. – Sonam Kapoor
I’d like to have a successful marriage, not for the sake of labelling or branding, but because I believe in the institution of marriage. – Sonam Kapoor
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. – Sonam Kapoor
I feel I am lucky. I am grateful for this life that God has given me. I am happy, as I am getting to do work that I want to do and enjoy doing it. – Sonam Kapoor
Thanks to my father, I didn’t have to face the tough side of life. Probably that’s why I always chose love over money. – Sonam Kapoor
I’ve realized I have to be very careful in what I say. I speak my heart out. Such honesty is not appreciated in the film industry. Instead, it is twisted and distorted. A lot of what I say is lost in translation. – Sonam Kapoor
I think every single imperfection adds to your beauty. I’d rather be imperfect than perfect. – Sonam Kapoor
I like bad boys… not really bad, but men with an edge… they should be clean but have that streak. – Sonam Kapoor
I am very ambitious and have set goals for myself. I really don’t keep a tab on what my contemporaries are doing. I want to push myself as an actress and don’t want to get into the rat race. With every film, I want to grow as a person and an actress. The character I play needs to change me in real life. – Sonam Kapoor
I may not be the number one movie star, or my films might not be doing too good. I am grateful for what life has offered me. I have got a great family, parents are together, have a great sister, I get to holiday. All these things make me grateful towards life, for everything. I always say – have an attitude of gratitude. – Sonam Kapoor
I am someone who actually jumps headlong into everything and anything. I am not one of those people who likes to be scared; instead I have a tendency to be very, very open to everything. I really live; I love life. – Sonam Kapoor
I listen to a lot of what my sister Rhea says. I give her a lot of credit for my stuff. When people give me credit for my fashion choices, it’s my sister who creates them. This whole fashionable avatar has been created by her. It’s her brainchild. It’s not me at all. Rhea really takes care of me, though I am older than her. – Sonam Kapoor
I have eclectic taste, and I love vintage style mixed with glamour and old world charm. – Sonam Kapoor
I like wearing beautiful clothes, but that does not translate into my work. People don’t like to see me as a glam doll in my movies. My audience and the media love me with two different perceptions. It’s a strange, crazy situation. – Sonam Kapoor
One needs to constantly read up, practice and work, irrespective of your profession. If I feel as an actor that I know everything, then how will I to grow? How will I improve? I’ll be stuck in a rut, and eventually I’ll grow complacent. – Sonam Kapoor
I’ve always acted; in fact, I can’t remember a time when I was not. When I was little, cinema was a game, then my father’s job and now mine. – Sonam Kapoor
You marry out of free will. If I marry, it will be from a personal choice, not some social compulsion or norm. – Sonam Kapoor
I love eating. Unfortunately, I have to be really determined and control my foodie temptations. That is the only thing I don’t like about being an actress; the constant need to check my weight. Otherwise, I love my job! – Sonam Kapoor
Many people make fun of me because I’m always so dressed up, but they don’t understand that there’s a little girl inside me who always wanted to be that dressed up but never got to do that because I was always a certain weight. – Sonam Kapoor
I had lost my way for some time, so I need to do things that I am happy with. It’s not about being the number one heroine or money. It’s about doing roles that I enjoy. My biggest ambition is happiness. – Sonam Kapoor
