Sonam Kapoor Birthday Special: The journey from the queen of fashion to the outspoken star

Sonam Kapoor, who is counted among the most stylish and outspoken actresses of Bollywood, is celebrating her 40th birthday today (9 June 2025). Sonam is not only an actress, but also a trendsetter, activist and fashion icon who has created her own identity. Despite being the daughter of a film personality like Anil Kapoor, she proved through her struggle-filled journey that being a star kid is not everything.

This disease has been

Sonam Kapoor was born on 9 June 1985 in Mumbai. Her father Anil Kapoor is a famous Bollywood actor, while her mother Sunita Kapoor is a fashion designer. However, Sonam's journey growing up in the world of glamour was not as easy as it is generally believed. She had a hormonal disease like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), due to which she had to go through many symptoms like acne, weight gain and facial hair during her adolescence. During her school days, she was trolled for her looks and was even made fun of despite being the daughter of her father Anil Kapoor.

Diabetes and blaming the father

Sonam was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 17. Initially, she blamed her father for it, thinking it was genetic, but later her mother Sunita Kapoor explained to her that it was the result of bad eating habits and lifestyle. This experience inspired Sonam to understand herself better and focus on fitness.

Passion for fashion (Sonam Kapoor Model)

Sonam Kapoor is called synonymous with fashion. But in the early days, she used to appear on the red carpet by borrowing clothes from fashion designers. She had told in an interview that she considered it more practical to borrow clothes instead of buying branded clothes all the time. This was not common in India at that time, but Sonam normalized it and showed her passion for fashion.
