Somewhere between being herself—getting into character for a role, planning her next red-carpet appearance and polishing off plates of chewy chocolate-chip cookies— Sonam Kapoor has a big mission for 2016: she wants to be the best version of herself. In the spirit of pink, the actor shares her 12-point guide with Shruti Thacker
Sonam Kapoor claims she is your average millennial. She cusses online, fights her trolls, occasionally states she’s “looking like a mess” and is unabashed about Instagramming OOTD pictures of herself. And yes, like the rest of us, she’s addicted to her phone too; as we talk, it beeps constantly with Twitter notifications (no doubt triggered by her gargantuan fanbase). She is quick to Google every time she gets stuck, like the number of times she’s been on the cover of Vogue—counting this issue, that’s seven in total. So Kapoor might seem like she’s like the rest of us, but how many millennials can stake claim to her credentials?
We are sitting in the three-storeyed home she shares with her parents, sister Rhea, brother Harshvardhan and two fluffy Pomeranians, nestled in a quiet but decidedly starstudded lane in suburban Mumbai. The living room is brimming with coffee-table books, paintings, oversized sculptures and globes of marigold blooms propped up on sticks—objects that lend it the dramatic flair of a Bollywood home. “I spend so much time with my family that they want me out of the house. I speak to my mom five times a day, I speak to my dad everyday,” she says. And yet, Kapoor is fiercely independent, has managed her own finances since she was a teenager and is determined to better herself this year “by being healthier, fitter and happier.” Despite this self-improvement mission, she doesn’t shy away from embracing her frothier side: she dreams about filling her wardrobe space (it was actually a dream) with a certain pair of Stella McCartney loafers that she is certain she would look ridiculous in...“like Donald Duck.”
