Actor Sonam Kapoor has embraced a new phase in her life since becoming a mother to her son, Vayu. She acknowledges that motherhood has brought profound changes, making her child the central focus of her life.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Sonam Kapoor spoke about her emotional tribute to the late fashion designer Rohit Bal during the Blenders Pride X FDCI Fashion Tour 2025 in New Delhi. She shared her deep connection with Bal and his significant influence on her personal and professional fashion journey.
Earlier this month, Kapoor walked the ramp as the showstopper in an emotional homage to Bal. Dressed in a flowing white gown paired with an intricately embellished ivory jacket, she completed the look with red flowers adorning her hair. Overcome with emotion, she was visibly moved to tears as she walked the runway.
“For me, he was someone that I really loved and walked for and understood. I’ve known him through my mom because he knew my mom really well. So, I’ve known him almost my whole life. It feels quite emotional, and I’m glad to be here. Blenders Pride Fashion Tour has done a wonderful job honouring his legacy and celebrating his incredible contribution to Indian couture,” Sonam said.
Reflecting on Bal’s impact on her personal style, she credited him for shaping Indian fashion. “Well, I love anarkali. I’ve worn that white anarkali many times and on multiple occasions. I’ve worn his clothes at milestone places, and I feel like he’s such an integral part of the way people look at fashion in India, so it’s influenced me and my style in a huge way,” she said.
Beyond fashion, Sonam Kapoor also spoke about her approach to selecting new projects, emphasizing personal growth and meaningful collaborations. She revealed that she is being highly selective with her work, prioritizing projects that align with her values.
“Anything that makes you grow as a human being, and I also like to work with people I like. If I don’t like somebody, then it’s very hard for me to work with them,” she said.
With a renewed focus on family and a deep appreciation for her artistic journey, Sonam Kapoor continues to navigate her career with a blend of passion and purpose.
