Sonam Kapoor

“I'm the worst liar in the world.”

“I don't care about controversies. I am a young woman with an opinion about certain things. I can't be diplomatic. I am a feminist, and as long as I can be the voice of hundreds of girls out there, I will speak my mind. I don't care what other people think.”

“For me, a holiday is about taking a book and going to a mountain and reading.”

“I always do things that are not the flavour of the season. And that's why people like me.”

“I have eclectic taste, and I love vintage style mixed with glamour and old world charm.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I am very romantic. Given a choice, I'd do only romantic films!”

“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!”

“No relationship works without making an effort. That goes without saying. But you should never overcompensate.”

“I'm honest. If someone asks about my weight loss, I tell them I have five people working on me, plus there's Photoshop. I tell them I can't eat everything and look good. I was unhealthy when I was fat, and now I'm a normal body type. I'm not special; I'm just an actress, and boys and girls are intelligent enough to recognise that.”

“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.”

“I love dressing up. I have people helping me with it. I am not going to take credit for that. I have a stylist, make-up and hair stylist.”

“Anytime I fall in love, I feel it's a first time. I have had no successful love story yet. I hope I will succeed next time when I fall in love.”

“Reading has made me more open, has improved my understanding, and has made me a better artiste, but it also makes me live in my own bubble. My mom keeps asking me, 'What do you read in that room the whole day?' Once I am into a book, I will finish it.”

“I love Italian fashion - the sense of style that Italians have as part of their DNA. Nobody is like them.”

“It makes me happy that people recognise me and want to click pictures with me. But sometimes, I want to be a common person. I want to go to a coffee shop and just chill. I miss driving my car with the windows rolled down.”

“I always admired the beautiful stars of Hollywood and dreamt of becoming one of them.”

“I think every single imperfection adds to your beauty. I'd rather be imperfect than perfect.”

“I think most couples drift apart because of comparisons. Unfortunately, in our society a perfect match is when the man is more successful than the woman.”
