In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, the last name holds paramount importance. It’s the legacy of royalty and fame that the generation carries forward. But the spotlight also comes with high scrutiny that a star kid faces right from day one. Every step, every moment is judged and meticulously observed. And with this, star kids are often born into silent expectations that they have to live up to.

One such similar tale is of a star kid who was the daughter of a big superstar; however, instead of using her last name for her benefits, she carved her own niche and built her own identity

The person we are talking about is none other than Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor’s daughter. Sonam made her acting debut with the film Saawariya in the year 2007. She did many films after, but some of her critically acclaimed films that proved her as an actor were Neerja, Sanju, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Raanjhanna, Pad Man, and more.

However, besides her acting, it was her fashion sense that always got her into the spotlight. Contrary to the usual belief that star kids have all the privileges and a flamboyant lifestyle, Sonam proved it otherwise. Once Sonam Kapoor openly revealed that she used to borrow clothes from top fashion designers for her event appearances and more and this wasn’t because of any financial limitation. But, she was of the view that not everything needs to be purchased. Borrowing clothes, also known as sourcing, was a very common trend at that time in the West and was considered a practical choice.

Sonam started sourcing clothes when she was barely 20. She didn’t want to buy everything; she only wanted to wear what she liked and from designers she admired personally. It was a bold move in an era when repeating or borrowing outfits was frowned upon. But Sonam owned it and continued to express her style unapologetically.

Before her debut as an actor, Sonam was working as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant while studying at United World College of South East Asia in Singapore. She later pursued her Bachelor’s from the University of East London.

Sonam Kapoor has also represented Indian on a global stage many times. Be it the red carpet, museums, or any international stage, she ensures India’s essence reflects in her fashion. “It makes me proud to represent India in front of the world,” she once said, adding how even South Asians abroad appreciated her cultural representation.
