Bollywood star Sonam Kapoor has spoken out against the gender pay gap that exists in the industry, in which male Bollywood stars are typically paid much more than their female counterparts.
Kapoor was speaking at the Creative Industries and Cultural Economy Summit at London’s Nehru Centre as part of India Global Forum’s U.K.-India Week on Wednesday. She was in conversation with Amish Tripathi, minister (culture and education), Indian High Commission and director Nehru Centre, who is also a bestselling author.

From the time she entered Bollywood in 2007 with "Saawariya", Sonam Kapoor Ahuja mostly courted the limelight as a fashionista and a highly-opinionated person rather than with her acting skills -- till "Neerja" in 2016 changed that opinion for many. While the actress is happy with her career graph, she now wishes to be part of horror and action films.
"I haven't done any action and horror films, so these are the two genres I would love to explore. It would be so different and exciting for me because I haven't done anything on the action. So, one of these two genres would be interesting to try out," Sonam, who looks forward to working with filmmakers Vishal Bhardwaj and Shoojit Sircar, told a publication.

"I think young boys and girls were not rightly represented in our films for the longest time. When a character is imperfect, it becomes more relatable because, in real life, we are not perfect.

Actress Sonam Kapoor Ahuja will be seen in "The Zoya Factor" soon. She feels she does her best while acting in comedy films.
"I think I like to skip genres with every film so, my last few films have been 'Veere Di Wedding, 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga', 'Padman', 'Sanju', 'Khoobsurat' and 'Neerja'. I am lucky enough that the directors of those films considered me for those roles. I think I do my best in comedy films but the audience thinks I do better in films like 'Raanjhanaa' and 'Neerja'.

Sonam Kapoor, who has clocked a year since her wedding to businessman Anand Ahuja, is in a happy space. The actress knows her heart lies in playing "normal" characters on-screen, in endorsing the fashion she believes in and in urging others to be themselves.
On the silver screen, Sonam will next be seen in "The Zoya Factor", an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan's book about a girl named Zoya Singh Solanki who ends up becoming a lucky charm for the cricket world cup team.

Sonam Kapoor is in no hurry to cash in on her Neerja triumph. It comes as a surprise to know that she has said no to all post - Neerja offers, except one. And the only project that Sonam has agreed to do is for her sister Rhea, to be directed by Shashank Ghosh who directed Khoobsurat for leading lady Sonam and her producer-sister Rhea. While Khoobsurat revolved around Sonam's character this time Sonam will be part of an ensemble cast. Confirming this Sonam Kapoor says, "I am doing my sister Rhea's production. But I am not playing the central character. It's an ensemble cast. It will be directed by my Khoobsurat director Shashank Ghosh. That's the only film I am doing right now." Interestingly Sonam specifies that the project she is doing next is neither a screen adaptation of Anuja Chauhan's novel The Battle Of Bittora nor is it...

Neerja has scored, and how! Once the promo of the film was unveiled, it was quite apparent that this was a dark horse waiting to be unleashed. Then a fortnight before the film’s release, industry testimonials started coming in, which made one supremely curious around what was in the offing. Yes, considering the fact that many a film these days have such glorious coming its way, with or without the merits (as was the case with Fitoor just a week ago), one took it all with a pinch of salt. Still, there was hope that something terrific was on the cards.
Well, this happened on the day of release as well once the gates were opened for ‘aam junta’. The ‘asli awaaz’ was heard then and it made a lot of noise right through the weekend. The film managed to bring in 22.01 crore over the weekend and with that...

The gorgeous Sonam Kapoor can be seen in the much-awaited and already critically acclaimed Neerja in UK cinemas now.
Neerja is a biopic and a cinematic representation of the dramatic events that unfolded on September 5th, 1986 when Pan Am Flight 73 from Bombay to New York was hijacked in transit at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi by Palestinian extremists from Abu Nidal’s terrorist outfit. This is the story of Neerja Bhanot, a 22-year-old part time model, who was the head purser on the flight. Neerja had escaped an abusive marriage and, as a life change, decided to become an airhostess, subsequently impressing everyone so much that they made her a purser.
Throughout the horrifying ordeal, Neerja didn’t succumb to her fears and instead fought her personal demons from the past and, from the minute the plane was hijacked through the terrifying 17 hours to the grueling end, used her courage,...

The archetypal family dynamic is about to be turned spectacularly on its head this Spring with the release of new ‘dramedy’ Kapoor & Sons, which releases on 18th March 2016 through Fox Star Studios.
Billed as a colourful comedy drama, Kapoor & Sons shines a spotlight on the nuances and intricacies of familial relationships, as it focuses on one particular family whose very fabric seems to be unravelling at the seams with the stresses and strains of modern life.
Already making waves with the release of the first poster, the film brings together an impressive ensemble cast comprising of Sidharth Malhotra (Student of the Year, Brothers), Alia Bhatt (Highway, 2 States), Fawad Khan (Khoobsurat) and veteran actor Rishi Kapoor (Agneepath), who is virtually unrecognisable in the film as the wise old grandfather. The supporting cast boasts the talents of Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak who respectively play Sidharth and Fawad’s parents in the film.

However, producer Rhea Kapoor (Sonam's sister) has finally decided to start with the film and it is all set to roll in June. The film, however, was never meant to be delayed but had to be postponed considering that the two actors have their calendars full. As of now, Sonam Kapoor has kick started with the Neerja Bhanot biopic based on a senior manager of the air crew, who is also the youngest woman to receive the civilian bravery award. On the other hand, Fawad Khan...

Known for her unconventional movie choices, extraordinary fashion sense and honesty, there is one thing not a lot of people know about the Khoobsurat actress, Sonam Kapoor and that is her work for social causes.

Continuing her social work, Sonam is now calling people in Delhi to adopt dogs a cause which she calls “close to my heart”. The actress tweeted in support of Puppy Love Delhi showcasing the groups mission to place Desi dogs in loving homes.

No actor from Pakistan in recent years has made the kind of impact that Fawad Khan made with Khoobsurat. For this Fawad cannot thank the Khoobsurat producers Anil and Rhea Kapoor enough. Says a source, "Fawad is suddenly a hot proposition in Bollywood. Every major production house is wooing him. He has agreed to do Karan Johar's Kapoor And Sons to be directed by Shakun Batra, and Farhan Akhtar's production Mr Chaloo to be directed by Reema Kagti." In Mr Chaloo Fawad would be paired with Priyanka Chopra. Fawad's role was originally offered to Saif Ali Khan who backed out due to monetary differences. Shahid Kapoor was under negotiation after Saif. But he didn't want to do a role rejected by Saif. Fawad's entry into Mr Chaloo means the end of Reema Kagti's ordeal of waiting for a replacement hero after Saif backed out so unprofessionally leaving the project in the lurch.

Sonam Kapoor, who was recently hospitalized for a respiratory infection, was back on her feet in no time and traveled to Karjat to shoot a special Rajasthani song for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, also starring Salman Khan.
