Speaking to Bombay Times, the actress shares her fondness for the tournament, saying, 'Wimbledon has almost become like a tradition.'

because she has broken barriers'
Though she is known for her passion for fashion and cinema, Sonam also admires athletes. 'My favourite sports person is Michael Jordan.
He is fabulous, and I love the way he created a brand. He's an entrepreneur, a star, good-looking – he's a whole package,' Sonam says while talking about her favourite athletes. What about tennis players? Among tennis legends, she counts Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Steffi Graf and Serena Williams as her favourites.
'I like Serena Williams because she has broken barriers. She is so unapologetically herself. She likes art and is also an art collector.

She has many facets to her personality,' Sonam says as she talks about her favourite tennis players.
From the racquet-shaped brooch to the shoes that featured tennis balls, Sonam truly dressed the part at her appearance.
'What I wear has to represent my personality'
At the match, Sonam made a striking appearance, wearing a crisp, white, tailored suit, accessorised with a strawberry pin – a look reportedly styled by her sister, Rhea. About her approach to fashion at sporting events, she explains, 'I always dress for the occasion and the weather because you have to sit there for a very long time.
So, comfort is key. I love dressing up, so it also has to represent my personality. The outfit I wore also had some vintage elements to it, like the jewellery.

'Anand and I like watching sports together'
Reflecting on her experience at the iconic tennis event, Sonam says, 'This year felt special because of the energy and the players. I love being in London in summer, it feels magical.' While she admits Anand is more of a 'sports nerd,' Sonam emphasises that live sports have always been something they enjoy.
'We both love the experience of going to live sports, whether it is Wimbledon, basketball or cricket. We like watching sports together.
It is a great way for us to spend time together,' she shares.
'Anand has got me more into basketball, football and cricket'
Sonam shares that she has always been quite outdoorsy, with a natural interest in sports. 'I love playing basketball and squash. I like anything athletic,' she says, adding that Anand has influenced some of her interests. 'Anand has got me more into basketball, football and cricket. I used to enjoy cricket, but then I kind of got out of it and then got into it again after my film The Zoya Factor.'

Fortnite leak reveals potential One Punch Man collaboration
Image via Madman Entertainment. With the arrival of Chapter 6 Season 3 dubbed 'Super' in Fortnite, the game has already brought a lot of superhero elements, as this is the actual theme of the current season. Recently we saw Fortnite collaborating with Superman, on the occasion of the latest movie by James Gunn. Now following the footsteps of the Superhero theme of this season, Fortnite is yet again potentially going to collaborate with another superhero, but this time, from the Anime universe. No price for guessing, it could be our very own Saitama from One Punch Man. Fortnite X One Punch Man collaboration new details gets leaked The Fortnite X One Punch Man collaboration has been the talk of the town for some time now, and now a brand new leak has stirred the speculation about the potential collaboration even more. This exciting news comes from popular Fortnite leaker @Loolo_WRLD. This leaker has shared additional details about the upcoming collaboration where it has been claimed that Saitama will have 2 emotes in the game. The leaker also went into details about these emotes, as one of them will have the iconic Saitama 'OK' speech. Although, detail about the other one is still unknown. He also stated that there will be a Pickaxe as well, thanks to this upcoming collaboration. However, the disappointing part of this leak is that One Punch Man cosmetics aren't a part of the encrypted in-game files in the game of the recent v36.20 patch update. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!

But a collaboration without its themed outfit of its central character sounds quite strange, so the outfit can be added anytime in the coming updates. Although, the in-game files of the recent update did contain the outfits of 3 of the 4 members of Fantastic Four. This suggests that after a successful DC collaboration, Fortnite is now gearing up for an ambitious MCU collaboration on the occasion of the highly anticipated movie, Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is going to be released on July 25, 2025 in theatres.
