Biography
Personal life
Kapoor is the daughter of Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor, and the granddaughter of filmmaker Surinder Kapoor. She is the niece of producer Boney Kapoor, actor Sanjay Kapoor and Sandeep Marwah. Kapoor is the eldest of three children; the others are sister Rhea and brother Harshvardhan.
She studied at University of East London and then enrolled in the United World College of South East Asia to do her International Baccalaureate. Kapoor later graduated from the University of Mumbai with Political Science and Economics as her majors. She is fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi. She has received training in classical and Latin dance forms.
Career
Before starting her career off as an actress, Kapoor worked as an assistant under Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and assisted him during the making of his film, Black (2005). She made her acting debut alongside newcomer Ranbir Kapoor in Bhansali's Saawariya (2007), which failed to do well at the box office.[1] Her performance was opened to good response by most critics.[2]
In 2009, Kapoor appeared in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi-6 opposite Abhishek Bachchan. The film received mix reviews by the critics but her performance was highly praised. Critic Rajeev Masand commented, "Sonam Kapoor is the revelation in Delhi 6. She's a firecracker performer, instinctive and uninhibited in what isn't even a conventional female lead".[3] Kapoor has recently signed David Dhawan's comedy film Come On Pappu, in which she is paired with Akshay Kumar.[4]
