Sonam Kapoor is known for her outspoken nature, bindaas attitude and killer fashion sense. The diva is currently enjoying motherhood to the fullest and has taken a step back from the glam world.

However, Aiswarya did not react to Sonam’s comment publicly, Sonam did. Yes, years later talking to Hindustan Times, Sonam said, “Aish has worked with my dad, so I have to call her aunty, na!” When Aishwarya sported a berry purple lip at the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, it was not well-received by the fashion critics. However, talking to PTI, Sonam came to Aishwarya’s support.
When Sonam Supported Aishwarya
She told the news portal, “The whole idea of fashion and makeup is for people to discuss it and I guess she wanted to be discussed. She achieved what she wanted to achieve with it, which I think is great. I think it looked great and she carried it off with aplomb. I think it was great to do it in the 15th year, it’s cool. She was trending everywhere.”
All Is Well?
However, during 2018, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was spotted having the time of her life at Sonam and Anand’s wedding in 2018.
