Moreover, she also captivated audiences with her classic songs, like Tirchi Topiwale , garnering popularity for her bold and charming personality.
In 2024, Sonam uploaded a couple of throwback pictures from one of her bold photoshoots that wasn't approved by her parents. After these pictures came out, her mother was so enraged that she slapped her and tore the magazine apart.
Once, in an interview Sonam recalled, 'When I got a tight slap! I thought I was gonna look great and was wearing a skin colour short dress which was hidden by the tall grass around. So when the images came out, my mom came with the magazine, gave me a tight slap and tore the magazine up. I may have been bold at that time, but my parents were always very protective of me. Nonetheless, I was always a rebel with a cause. At least that's what I thought!.'

She bid adieu to her acting career, and moved to Europe after her marriage with director, Rajiv Raj in 1991. However, in 2001, the couple decided to part ways, followed by a mutual divorce in 2016. Sonam came back to India in 2023, and is currently living in Mumbai with her son as a single mom.

‘I cheated Yash Chopra…' Meet Rishi Kapoor's heroine who failed 8th class, rejected Sunny Deol's film after…, career got ruined, is now…, her name is…
'I cheated Yash Chopra...' Meet Rishi Kapoor's heroine who failed 8th class, rejected Sunny Deol's film after..., career got ruined, is now..., her name is... This 90s actress had a brief yet notable career in Bollywood. Despite working alongside stalwarts including Rishi Kapoor, Sunny Deol, she decided to quit industry just six weeks after her marriage. We are talking a none other than Sonam Khan, who rose to fame after her 'Tirchi Topiwale' song. Born in 1972 as Bakhtawar Khan, she is the granddaughter of late actor Murad and niece of actor Raza Murad. She began her acting career at the mere age of 15 with the Telugu movie Samrat. Later, she made her Bollywood debut with Yash Chopra's Vijay. The actress once revealed that she initially lied to Yash Chopra about her age to secure the role in the film. Following that, Sonam went on to feature in several movies, including Mitti Aur Sona, Krodh, Pyar Ka Karz, Ajooba, Fateh, Kohraam, Vishwatma, Baaz, and Insaaniyat. But, she catapulted to overnight stardom after her role in the 1989 film Tridev. Despite her early success, Sonam's career took a drastic turn. Just as she was at the peak of her stardom, she chose to quit the film industry and got married. She was reportedly offered to work with Sunny Deol in the film Lutere, but turned down the offer to prioritise her marital life. She met film producer Rajiv Rai, son of Gulshan Rai in 1991, and tied the knot after dating for 3 years. The actress bid adieu to the filmy world after her last film Insaaniyat, released in 1994. Shortly after her marriage, there were rumours about her alleged association with underworld don Abu Salem, which brought her in negative limelight. She then left India, moving to various countries over the next 15 years. In 2001, her marriage to Rajiv Rai ended in separation, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason. Now 52, Sonam is currently settled in Mumbai with her son, embracing the role of a single mother and living a life away from the hustle bustle of film industry.

5 fusion saree ideas to steal from Sonam Kapoor's wardrobe
Sonam Kapoor is not called the style icon of Bollywood for no reason. The diva's looks come from a place of creative freedom and unapologetic expression. Kapoor's fusion saree sways are a testimony to her profound and unique perspective towards fashion. Following suit, we curated the actress's 5 fusion saree looks that serve as the perfect inspiration for fashionistas who like to stand out in the crowd. 1. Shirt and jacket over saree The Khoobsurat actress loves to infuse deeply rooted Indian tradition in her outfits. Her regal look in Ritu Kumar's craft serves that intention. The actress wore a classic, rusted orange, embellished saree with its pallu wrapped around her waist. Ditching the usual blouse, Mrs. Ahuja wore a billowy shirt that featured aari & tikki hand embroidery. She layered the shirt with a black, silk velvet Imran jacket. Going for a grandiose look, Sonam accessorized her fusion saree with a heavy, stone-studded choker. 2. Satin top with saree When Sonam, with her husband, invited David Beckham to her newly inaugurated house tour, she wore a saree to make a style statement. For the occasion, the Aisha actress adorned a classic Indian red drape with a satin top and served an elite look. She wore a V-neck ivory top that featured billowy sleeves and trains on both sides. Kapoor paired this neo-ethnic blouse with her red saree's pallu, pleated and secured over her shoulder. She further added intricate kundan accessories to this fit, serving understated regality at its best. 3. Leopard print shawl over forest-inspired saree The Zoya Factor fame wore Pankaj S Heritage's Van Vaibhav saree and made a memorable fashion statement. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, the brown saree glimmered mesmerizingly against light at every moment and featured a unique, uneven leafy trim. The six-yard drape boasted forest creatures such as exotic birds, flora, and fauna. Sonam styled this museum-worthy saree with a leopard-print shawl, accentuating the forest-y vibe of the fit. The diva minimally accessorized her gorgeously busy drape with simple, emerald drop earrings. 4. Crochet top with an earthy saree Masaba Gupta's designer sarees and Sonam Kapoor's fashion sense are a match made in heaven. The Neerja actress wrapped herself in the House of Masaba brown drape that featured minimal beige embroidery and crochet-like boundary. Sonam paired the satin saree with an off-shoulder, crochet top. Balancing the neo-ethnic look with tradition, she embraced a front pallu, a style customary in India's remote areas. The actress accessorized this look with crochet earrings and served a unique sway. 5. Printed saree with a full-length jacket Sonam Kapoor turned heads after she wore JJ Valya's unique iteration of a classic saree at the opening of NMACC. Aligning with the theme of the event—'India with its royal twist', the Sanju actress wore a red, floral-print saree styled with a silk jacket. The ivory jacket featured trains emerging from the shoulders and reaching below her knees. She put these eccentric pieces together with a kamarbandh, serving as a royal avatar. Sonam accessorized her surreal fit with a diamond necklace and ruby, diamond, and emerald-encrusted earrings.
