Sonam Kapoor has proved her identity as an actress. She is called the fashionista of Bollywood also she is among the one who never steps back to share her views.

Says the Neerja actress, "I've always had an opinion. And why should anyone expect any less of me? Just because I look and dress a certain way? It was to believe these ridiculous notions that I thought it was necessary to do Neerja and Raanjhanaa to have an opportunity to speak my mind on things that matter and to be taken seriously as an actor. There shouldn't be a mould for all women to fit in, in order to be seen as worthy of respect and intellect."

She added on, "At the risk of sounding jaded, it often feels like no one is interested in an intelligent opinion. Faux pas, malfunctions, affairs sell well. It's as they say... women should be seen, not heard. And that to me is one of the biggest problems with not just our industry today, but also society at large." 

She on putting her opinion said, "It's sad that in show business, the women who are perceived to be cerebral are largely those doing art house cinema. But trust me, there are a lot of brilliant women in different areas of our industry. And if you give them a chance, they will blow your mind! It's really not that hard to digest.Intelligence and beauty could exist together and exist independently too. And not just in showbiz. In any office, if you dress well and apply some make-up and move around, you will have people commenting. Female journalists who write about movies are not taken as seriously as their political counterparts. And that baffles me! Cinema is art that has far-reaching effects.You make as much impact as someone covering politics. Both are religions in our country, so why should one be treated with more respect than the other?" 

Sonam has also objected on people who trolls others for their dressing style, "As a woman, the choice to dress the way you want and think the way you think, is yours and yours alone. You can be beautiful and that doesn't take away from your intelligence. If you don't want to apply make-up and dress pretty, it doesn't make you any less beautiful. It's the whole idea of judgement that's wrong. You should be allowed to be who you want to be."
