Sonam set to attend Wimbledon Gentlemen's Finals in London
Bollywood fashionista Sonam Kapoor has joined the list of celebrities such as Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli and Priyanka Chopra, as she too is set to attend Wimbledon Gentlemen's Finals in London. Sonam will be seen gracing the tournament this weekend. A source said: 'Sonam Kapoor has been a part of the tournament for years now. This will be her fourth Wimbledon appearance and she's got a special outfit in store for the highly-anticipated game.' 'The actress is currently in London, enjoying some family time with husband Anand Ahuja and their son, Vayu, so it comes as no surprise that she's going to be making her way to the game this weekend,' added the source. Last month, Sonam celebrated seven years of Ranbir Kapoor's 'Sanju'. To mark the milestone, she took to her Instagram Stories to share a special memory. She posted a video featuring one of her scenes with Ranbir Kapoor from the film, blending it with behind-the-scenes glimpses from the set. 'Sanju,' directed and edited by Rajkumar Hirani, was co-written by Hirani and Abhijat Joshi. The movie explored the turbulent life of Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, shedding light on his battle with drug addiction, his arrest in connection with the 1993 Bombay bombings, his bond with his father, and his journey in the film industry. Ranbir Kapoor played the titular role alongside actors Paresh Rawal, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, and Jim Sarbh. Sonam made her comeback to the screen with the 2023 crime thriller 'Blind', in which she portrayed a visually impaired ex-police officer. The film marked her return to acting following a break she took after welcoming her son, Vayu, in 2022. Directed by Shome Makhija, the thriller also starred Shubham Saraf, Danesh Razvi, Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, Lillete Dubey, and Javed Khan in key roles. 'Blind,'was a remake of the 2011 South Korean film of the same name, originally featuring Yoo Seung-ho and Kim Ha-neul in lead roles. Kapoor, the daughter of actor Anil Kapoor, began her career as an assistant director on filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2005 film Black. She made her acting debut in Bhansali's romantic drama Saawariya (2007), a box office flop, and had her first commercial success with the romantic comedy I Hate Luv Storys (2010). This was followed by a series of commercial failures and repetitive roles, which garnered her negative reviews. The 2013 box office hit Raanjhanaa marked a turning point in Kapoor's career, garnering her praise and Best Actress nominations at several award ceremonies. Kapoor had her biggest commercial successes with supporting roles in the biopics Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) and Sanju (2018), and a leading role in the romance Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015); the last two rank among the highest-grossing Bollywood films.
