Sonam Kapoor regrets not going to college, felt envious of Anand Ahuja when he took her to his alma mater

Talking about education, Sonam said, 'My husband went to Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania. When he recently took me around the campus, it was the first time I felt envy. So I've been saving up for Vayu's education. I want him to be a reader.' She added that having a child "brings back wonder and idealism". Sonam also said she was "one hundred per cent jaded before Vayu's birth".
Sonam also talked about, 'When I was young, I had too many opinions. With age, you realise it's better to listen than to speak. I don't have personal opinions on people anymore, like I did. That wasn't nice. It was immature.'
This isn't the first time Sonam spoke about studies. In 2017, speaking with Hindustan Times, Sonam had said, "I want to take a course; I am not sure what I want to learn but just to kind of learn something new. I had four amazing acting coaches and I do a lot of workshops before my films but this is something, I do want to take up seriously."
Sonam enrolled at the United World College of South East Asia in Singapore and studied theatre and arts. She had started courses through the University of Mumbai correspondence programme.
The actor married Anand on May 8, 2018, in a traditional Anand Karaj ceremony. In March 2022, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child together. Sonam gave birth to Vayu in August 2022.
Sonam was last seen in the film Blind, directed by Shome Makhija. The crime thriller also starred Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, and Lillete Dubey in prominent roles. Blind premiered on July 7, 2023. The film marked Sonam's return to acting after a maternity break. As per news agency ANI, Sonam has signed two new projects, the details of which will be announced soon.

Dua Lipa's engagement ring from Callum Turner is worth a fortune, and she's ‘obsessed'
Popstar Dua Lipa and British actor Callum Turner are officially engaged, a year after confirming their romance. Though the exact timeline of their engagement wasn't revealed, the couple had sparked rumours for months after fans spotted the big diamond on the singer's finger in late 2024. But now, during an interview with Vogue published on June 12, 2025, Dua confirmed the news, saying, 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting.' What's just as intriguing is her old European-cut diamond, which she has been obsessed with since day one. During the interview, the Levitating singer revealed that Callum had the ring custom-made for her. Also read: Dua Lipa and Callum Turner share a 'fairytale' moment in Paris, dance in front of Eiffel Tower: 'Straight out of a movie' Dua and Callum first sparked dating rumours after the singer made an after-party appearance alongside the actor for Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air. While speaking to the magazine, the Houdini crooner revealed that their paths first crossed at a London restaurant, where they were introduced by the café's co-founders. A year later, fate brought them together again at another restaurant. At the time, she was having dinner with her friend, Mustafa the Poe,t when Callum suddenly walked in. She recalled, 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe.' She also realised something strangely common between them, they were both reading the same book: Trust by Hernan Diaz. Dua described it as one of their many 'sliding doors moments.' Announcing her engagement, she said, 'It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling.' Fans knew wedding bells were coming when Dua first flaunted her diamond on Instagram during Christmas Eve 2024. But since the couple didn't acknowledge it, the buzz died down quickly. Now, the singer revealed, 'I'm obsessed with it,' she said. 'It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Callum reportedly teamed up with Dua's sister Rina and her close friends to design it.

The designer revealed that the centre diamond is either round brilliant or old European cut, giving it an elegant touch. Calling it possibly bezel-set, quite different from the usual delicate solitaire designs, Saltzman said the diamond is 'set low, nearly flush with the wide gold band.' Saltzman estimated the cost somewhere between $65,000 and $125,000, depending on the size and quality of the diamond. However, another diamond expert, Laura Taylor, believes it's closer to 3-4 carats, which could push the price to around $200,000 to $270,000. Dua and Callum aren't rushing into wedding planning just yet. The two are focused on enjoying their engagement and getting to know each other better. Their professional commitments are also keeping them from taking the next step. Dua is busy with her music tour, and Callum is tied up with filming projects. Speaking of which, the singer said, 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she explained. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?''
