Sonam Kapoor is the daughter of veteran actor Anil Kapoor. She appeared in her first film, Saawariya, an adaptation of Dostoevsky’s short story “White Nights,” in 2007, with fellow debutant Ranbir Kapoor. The film was a dud, but her performance was praised. She also had a fine showing in her second film Delhi-6 (2009), opposite Abhishek Bachchan, also a flop. In 2010, she appeared with Imran Khan in the modestly successful I Hate Luv Storys and in the title role of Aisha, an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma set in modern-day Delhi, opposite Abhay Deol. Her latest film is the romantic epic Mausam (2011) with Shahid Kapoor. The outspoken actress has been known to ruffle feathers, including those of her former co-stars. She has been romantically linked with her I Hate Luv Storys director, Punit Malhotra.
