SADAF SHAIKH looked on as the two women discussed embracing motherhood on their own terms.

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has come a long way since being a self-admitted motormouth and a perennial fashion icon who could simultaneously ruffle feathers on chat shows and rattle off the names of luxury brands without breaking a sweat. Not to say she isn't either of those things anymore the star takes immense pride in being both sassy and stylish-but at 37, and as mother to a newborn baby boy, her priorities have shifted. Unexpectedly relaxed and relaxedly expectant just days before her due date, the actor spoke to journalist Faye D'Souza about what was, what is and what's to come.
