Biggest Controversies:

Koffee with Karan drama: On one of the episodes of the infamous Koffee with Karan, Sonam and Deepika Padukone took several potshots at Ranbir Kapoor. Deepika said she’d like to gift Ranbir a box of condoms, while Sonam said he badly needed a stylist. This resulted in a backlash from Rishi Kapoor, who lashed out at Sonam and Deepika for being immature, and Karan Johar for instigating these comments. Read the full story here.

War of words with Shobhaa De: On her blog, Shobhaa commented that Sonam doesn’t “cut it in the sex appeal stakes.” Annoyed, Sonam lashed out on Twitter by writing, “For a 60-something porn writer, I am sure she knows what she’s talking about.” This continued when Shobhaa criticized I Hate Luv Storys and director Punit Malhotra (Sonam’s rumoured boyfriend at the time) tweeted saying, “Guys pls don’t take Shobha De seriously. She’s fossil who’s getting no action and going through menopause.” Sonam retweeted this, but later formally apologized to Shobhaa on the platform.

Juicy Offscreen Quotes:

“It takes me 10 minutes to decide what to wear. It all depends on how I’m feeling. I am spontaneous in everything I do, and I’ve got into a lot of trouble because of that.”

“Indian men don’t understand fashion unless they are gay.”

“Are girls drooling over him? Really? Ranbir isn’t sexy at all. Ranbir is a mama’s boy, his mother cuts his toenails for him.”

“I like books a lot. When I was younger I finished Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Enid Blyton rather than playing with dolls or going out. My friends hate that about me. But I love reading and movies because you can be in another world. I’m a nerd.”

“We need somebody’s perspective who has an intelligent view about things. You need critics because you need a review of what has been done and how do you better your product.”
