Daughter of veteran actor Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor began her film journey behind the scenes before making her acting debut in Saawariya (2007). Though her early roles had mixed success, she rose to prominence with the romantic-comedy I Hate Luv Storys (2010), and truly broke through with Raanjhanaa (2013), earning widespread praise for her layered performance. Her portrayal of flight attendant Neerja Bhanot in Neerja (2016) earned her a National Film Award Special Mention and cemented her reputation as a serious performer. She also starred in highly successful films including Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Veere Di Wedding, and Sanju.

Sonam is equally renowned off-screen as a fearless fashion influencer—known for bold couture choices, front-row appearances at global fashion events, and her role as a trendsetter. Entrepreneurial and socially conscious, she co-produces films and champions causes such as breast cancer awareness, LGBTQ+ rights, and animal welfare. Her authentic voice, style leadership, and commitment to meaningful cinema make her a respected figure both within and beyond Bollywood.
