Sonam Kapoor Admits She Had ‘Too Many Opinions' In Her Youth: ‘It Was Immature'
Sonam Kapoor said that she has realized it is better to listen than to speak. She also explained that she no longer has personal opinions on people anymore.
Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor recently shared that she doesn't have personal opinions on people anymore, as she once did. She admitted that she had too many opinions when she was younger, and that it was 'immature'. However, she explained that she has come to realize with age that it is better to listen than to speak, and that some opinions are best kept to herself.
While speaking with Vogue India, Sonam Kapoor said, 'When I was young, I had too many opinions. With age, you realise it's better to listen than to speak." She further added, 'I don't have personal opinions on people anymore, like I did. That wasn't nice. It was immature." Sonam, who often speaks up on social media about environmental and socio-political issues, said that she has always been clear about her beliefs, and that she doesn't give in to leading questions anymore for clickbait headlines.
'I've been clear about my beliefs and I don't give in to leading questions anymore for clickbait headlines. If someone asks me a question, they already know what my stance is. I've said everything there is to say," she said.
In the past, Sonam Kapoor often hit the headlines for her controversial statements, particularly those made on Karan Johar's show Koffee With Karan. Last year, in an interview with Dirty Magazine, the actress said, 'You know, I always thought I was non-judgmental, but then I realised that I was like, the most judgy human being on this planet." She reflected on the things she said in her youth, and said that she would be 'cancelled and crucified' if she said all those things now, in the social media era.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Sonam Kapoor was last seen in Shome Makhija's crime thriller film Blind (2023), which also features Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak and Lillette Dubey in supporting roles. Sonam has revealed that her next project is Battle for Bittora, based on Anuja Chauhan's novel.

Chaalbaaz director alleges Ram Gopal Varma forced Sridevi to lose weight: 'She fainted, hit her head, and lost a tooth'
Director Pankaj Parashar revealed that Sridevi's health suffered due to industry pressure to lose weight. Ram Gopal Varma's insistence on extreme dieting for 'Kshana Kshanam' led to a health scare during 'Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin,' causing her to faint and halt production. Akshay Kumar confirmed the film's incomplete status. Behind the glamour and grace of Sridevi 's iconic career lies a troubling pattern of pressure and perfection. In a recent interview, Chaalbaaz director Pankaj Parashar opened up about the damaging impact of industry expectations on the late actor, revealing a disturbing incident where Ram Gopal Varma 's repeated insistence on weight loss led to a serious health scare. Ram Gopal Varma's Role in a Delayed Film In a chat with Friday Talkies, the director addressed the long-delayed release of his incomplete film Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin, starring Sridevi and Akshay Kumar . He blamed Ram Gopal Varma for the setback, claiming Varma pushed Sridevi to lose weight during their work on the 1991 Telugu film Kshana Kshanam, prompting her to go on a crash diet that impacted her health and delayed other projects. A Crash Diet That Ended in a Health Crisis Speaking about the film, Pankaj further revealed that everything was on track until Ram Gopal Varma intervened. He claimed Varma constantly urged Sridevi to lose weight, leading her to follow a crash diet. She cut out salt, which caused her blood pressure to drop. Sridevi fainted, hit a table, remained unconscious for 20 minutes, and even lost a tooth—ultimately causing the entire shoot schedule to be scrapped.

‘Sridevi's BP dropped; she fainted and hit her head, lost a tooth': Chaalbaaz director claims Ram Gopal Varma pushed her to lose weight
Sridevi was known for being one of the best actors of her generation. Like many other stars during that time, she was being subjected to severe criticism about her physical appearance. In a recent interview, director Pankaj Parashar, who worked with her in Chaalbaaz, recalled when director Ram Gopal Varma kept hounding her to lose weight. This resulted in Sridevi fainting, being unconscious for 20 minutes and losing a tooth. In a chat with Friday Talkies, Pankaj was asked about the excessive delay in the release of his incomplete film Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin, in which Sridevi starred with Akshay Kumar. Pankaj said that he would blame Ram Gopal Varma for this, as he kept pushing Sridevi to lose weight and she went on a crash diet to do so. They worked together in 1991's Telugu film Kshana Kshanam. Talking about the film, he said, 'It was going well, but my friend, Ram Gopal Varma, I blame him for that because he kept telling Sridevi to lose weight. She went on a crash diet and when she did that, she stopped taking salt, her blood pressure dropped and she fainted. She fainted, hit the table and was unconscious for 20 minutes. She lost a tooth. So we lost an entire schedule.'

'The movie went off rail, the financer went away, the producer died, all those things happened, so I left the film.' A few years ago, Akshay Kumar, in an appearance on Koffee with Karan, said that they never shot the ending of the film. An incomplete version was released theatrically in 2004. He recalled that the characters in the film announced that they would take revenge but since they never shot that part, the film just ended with some text on screen saying that they eventually took their revenge. In an earlier chat with The New Indian, Sridevi's husband, producer Boney Kapoor, shared that she was on a diet when she passed away in 2018. 'She often used to starve; she wanted to look good. She wanted to make sure she's in good shape, so that on-screen, she looks good. From the time she was married to me, she had blackouts on a couple of occasions, and the doctor kept on saying she had a low BP issue.' In the same chat, he also recalled that time when she lost her tooth because of fainting. 'Nagarjuna had come home to offer his condolences, and he told me that during one of her movies, she was again on a crash diet, and that's how she fell in the bathroom and broke her teeth,' he said.

Abhishek Bachchan is more scared of wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan than mother Jaya Bachchan? Here's what Shweta Bachchan had to say
Veteran Bollywood actress Jaya Bachchan often goes viral for her videos fuming and schooling the paparazzi and fans for their misbehaviour. But, ask her son Abhishek, who he 'fears' in the Bachchan household, and it might just be someone else. A resurfaced clip from an episode of Koffee With Karan , featuring siblings Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan Nanda, has left fans in splits over their humour. In the clip, Johar posed a light-hearted question to Abhishek during the rapid-fire round and asked 'Who are you more scared of—your wife or your mother?' While Abhishek responded, 'My mother,' his sister Shweta promptly replied, 'Wife!' Not amused by her reply, Abhishek told his sister, 'It's my rapid fire, be quiet,' leaving Karan smiling from ear to ear. Abhishek on Life with Aishwarya Beyond the humour, Abhishek has, over the years, spoken openly about his relationship with his actress wife. In an interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, he acknowledged the vital role Ash plays in their family life. Giving her due credit, he said, 'A lot of what I am as an actor post-marriage is due to Aishwarya. She has allowed me to focus on work… saying, 'You go act, I'll take care of Aaradhya.'' Divorce Rumours Abhishek and Aishwarya battled nasty divorce rumours and other wild speculations around their marriage. In a more recent interview with ETimes, Abhishek opened up about how these rumours really affect him and his family. He admitted, 'It's very upsetting. You're not me, you don't live my life.' The actor also said that while in the past, he was able to brush off false stories about himself, with rumours circulating around his family, it hits differently. Abhishek and Aishwarya tied the knot on April 20, 2007, in a private ceremony at the Bachchan family residence. After three years of married life, the couple welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan on November 16, 2011.
