29 Sensational Quotes By Sonam Kapoor That Shocked Us All

Sonam Kapoor, the ultimate fashion diva of Bollywood, wins hands down when it comes to flaunting an impeccable sense of style. But, when it comes to giving her opinion or talking about something in the media, she seems to suffer from a chronic "foot in mouth" syndrome! Known more for blurting out bizarre answers than her acting skills, she seems to create a buzz whenever she talks about almost anything. Sonam’s “blonde moments” have drawn flak from a lot of people in the past. As the sizzling fashion icon turned 29, in 2014, we decided to take a walk down the 29 of her most jaw-dropping, hilarious comments.
Aishwarya 'Aunty'

In 2009, Sonam announced that she was slated to walk the red carpet for a beauty brand at the Cannes Film Festival. Aishwarya, being the brand ambassador at the time, did not take her statement kindly and had her way. Sonam then retorted by calling Aiswarya an "aunty" which shocked the entire industry. She remarked, "Ash has worked with my dad so I have to call her Aunty na?"

Shobha De 'porn writer'
“For a 60-something porn writer, I am sure she (Shobha) knows what she’s talking about.”

(on twitter)

Who is Shobha De?
When Karan Johar asked her about her very public war of words with writer Shobha De:
“Who the hell is she? She writes bad books!”

Calling Katrina shameless
"I would like to give Katrina a bouquet of flowers. I don't know how she does that. You need a certain kind of commitment and a certain kind of shamelessness to do certain things. You get that may be with stardom or with confidence in your talent or with who you are as a person. I need to develop that before I do films like that."

(In an interview to film journalist, Anupama Chopra, at the Cannes Film Festival)

Flashing her middle finger to the Press
After flashing her middle finger in the movie Players, Sonam grabbed eyeballs when she did it again at a press meet for the film.
"I don't believe in censorship so whether they like it or not, I really don't care about it. I just want people to come and see my film. Showing a middle finger is a part of today's youth."

Self-proclaimed "icon"
“Being considered as an icon in my 20s, when people in their 40s or after they die, are considered icons; I think it is amazing!”

Indian men and fashion

Cristiano Ronaldo split with girlfriend Irina Shayk confirmed by model's agent

Irina Shayk is now officially back on the market according to her agent.
Reported in the New York Post, Shayk's representative commented on the break up: 'We can confirm that Irina Shayk has ended her relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo.'
It is not yet clear what caused the split, with rumours circulating of a rocky relationship between the Russian model and Ronaldo's mother. 
Ronaldo and Shayk reportedly split because the Russian model refused to attend his mother's birthday

The agent added: 'She has been very close to his family throughout their relationship. Any negative rumors about Irina and Ronaldo's family are completely false and have not been a factor in the cause of the split. Irina has no comments at the moment.' 
Shayk refused to attend the 60th birthday party of the Ballon d'Or winner's mother according to a newspaper in Portugal.

Coreio de Manhana reported that Shayk had told Ronaldo that she would not be attending the bash in his native Madeira, and the ensuing row served to end the pair's five-year romance.  
As a parting dig to Ronaldo, the Russian model has now stopped following him on Twitter.
A source told Coreio de Manhana: 'Cristiano wanted to surprise his mum and as he spent Christmas with Irina in Dubai, he had planned to be with his mum on her birthday, but Irina didn't want to go.
'They had such a big row that he ended up spending New Years Eve alone with his son.
'Irina mouthed off about Dolores and Ronaldo took sides with him mum. It was the straw that broke the camel's back because they had hadn't been getting on well in the last few months.'

The newspaper also claimed Irina decided to stay in a hotel during one of her recent trips to Madrid because Dolores, who watched proudly as her son won his third Ballon d'Or on Monday, was at Cristiano's luxury home on the exclusive estate La Finca.
'Dolores thinks Irina wasn't the right woman for Ronaldo's son,' the source continued. 'She wanted someone who would, in the future, assume the role of mum for Cristiano Jr. That wasn't a priority for Irina.'
Along with Dolores, Cristiano is raising four-year-old son Cristiano Jr, whose mother's identity has been fiercely guarded by the sportsman.

Irina's dramatic Twitter unfollow came after she failed to support Ronaldo in Zurich on Monday when he was awarded the prestigious FIFA Ballon d'Or award.
Cristiano also noticeably failed to mention Irina's name during his acceptance speech.
'It's an unforgettable moment in my life to win the Ballon d'Or for the third time,' Ronaldo said after claiming football's most prestigious individual award for the second consecutive year. 
'I feel extremely happy and proud to receive this award and I want to keep challenging myself every day.
'I have to thank my family, all the people who support me and also my colleagues of Real Madrid and Portuguese National team that make me a better player every day.'

According to Irina's PR representative, the model did not attend the annual FIFA Ballon d'Or awards because she simply had other commitments.
'[The Ballon d'Or] didn't fit in with her schedule,' a spokesperson told Goal.com. 'It was because of work commitments. We have no further comment to make.'
However, some have raised doubts over the explanation as the awards ceremony had been in the calendar for 12 months in advance.
Suspicious fans have also questioned why Irina did not bother to congratulate her estranged boyfriend on any of her social networking accounts either.

Rather than congratulating him on his impressive achievement, she instead chose to post pictures of herself on a winter getaway to a mysterious location, where she celebrated her 29th birthday.
Judging by the solo photographs, Cristiano was not there to celebrate Irina's big day with her.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo for comment.

It's been a weekend of bikini bliss for Amber, who has made an emotional revelation while appearing on the upcoming documentary Light Girls.
The model said that some of her relatives missed seeing her tie the knot with Wiz Khalifa in 2013 because they felt their race was 'more superior' to his.
She shared: 'With my family, they feel like they’re more superior or better than an African American because we’re Creole and we have culture and that’s something I battle with most of my life. It’s more of the older people in my family.'

''It's more of the older people in my family they didn't come to my wedding because they didn't feel...' the model said. 
Amber - who has 22-month-old Sebastian Taylor Thomaz with the 27-year-old rapper - has admitted that she is 'angry' that their wedding was snubbed by some of her relatives.
The model, who has since filed for divorce from Wiz, added: 'It’s such a sensitive subject that it’s hard to explain yourself without sounding mean or bitter or angry, but I am.
'I'm angry that my family is like that and they want to pass so bad that they raise my mom and my uncles and my aunts to not fully know their culture.
'Our younger generation, we’ve embraced it so much and I feel like that’s why my father is white.'
The upcoming documentary is the sequel to 2011's Dark Girls, and will feature interviews with numerous African American women as they discuss the issues they have faced as a result of their lighter skin complexion.
