Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor recently opened up about the significant changes in her life, revealing how her personal journey has been completely transformed, especially after embracing motherhood and marriage. On Friday, the 'Neerja' actress attended an event where she reunited with Jacqueline Fernandez and shared the reason behind their recent lack of contact.

My whole life has changed.' For those unaware, Sonam and Anand Ahuja tied the knot in May 2018 and welcomed their first child, son Vayu, on August 20, 2022. For the event, Sonam stepped out in style, opting for a yellow chiffon gown that resembled a saree. She completed her look with diamond bracelets, statement gold ear cuffs, gold rings, and a choker necklace.

Earlier, speaking on the sidelines of the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, Sonam stated, 'I'm going to do Battle of Bittora next year, finally. It's a beloved character, but I feel a lot of girls might have read the book. I feel a lot of girls, maybe from our generation, know about it, but I don't think the younger generation knows the character as much. So, we have the advantage of that.' Meanwhile, Sonam has revealed that she hates wearing false eyelashes. Sonam took to her Instagram stories, where she is seen getting her hair and make-up done. In the clip, the actress' make-up stylist is seen applying mascara to her lashes, and the the diva is heard saying, 'I don't think anybody hates wearing eyelashes as much as I do.'
