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.
