Sonam Kapoor empathises with military wives

Sonam Kapoor has said that she empathises with women whose boyfriends and husbands serve in the armed forces.

The Delhi 6 star plays the love interest of an Air Force officer in the film Mausam.

Speaking to The Hindustan Times, she said: "I play a ballet dancer in the film, and I eventually get involved with someone who is in the Air Force. You have to be a different person to handle that.

"That made me empathise with a lot of people in the country... people all over the world who have husbands, boyfriends, brothers in the forces... Sometimes, you have to be stronger than the men themselves."

The 26-year-old actress said that the women had to learn to be patient.

"I think waiting is the most difficult thing. You don't know where they'll get posted. When you're married, they are away for long periods of time. I read a lot of such stories.

"You feel they are fighting for a good cause, so there's a whole fascination. There's some mystery and romanticism about them."

The actress reportedly came under fire from the film's director Pankaj Kapoor for refusing to do a kissing scene with co-star Shahid Kapoor in the film.

Kapoor beat off competition from Sonakshi, Narmada and Shazahn Padamsee to get the role.Enjoy the beautyful pictures of Sonam Kapoor.

Aiming for size zero Sonam takes to Bikram yoga

It seems Sonam Kapoor is aiming for size zero. The already slim actress has now joined Bikram Yoga classes, where she is expected to sweat it out and burn oodles of calories.

"Starting bikram yoga today or as everyone calls it hot yoga. It's my dads secret for looking fab. (sic), " Sonam posted on her Twitter page.

Bikram Yoga is a distinct style developed by yoga guru Bikram Choudhury who holds a US copyright on his yoga that comprises 26 'asanas' or postures and two breathing exercises.

In the West, celebrities like Madonna, Brooke Shields and Raquel Welch practice it.

Sonam, who was lost almost 30 kg before she made her film debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Saawariya" in 2007, also loves munching.

"Can someone find the special k bars in mumbai please! I like the chocolatey drizzle special k bars.. Anyone i know where I can find them in mumbai, " she asked her Twitter followers.

Rani, Sonam lose Abhi, Ranbir, Sonam and Rani not well with Ranbir and Abhishek

For the first time Sonam and Rani admit that all is not well between them and their co-stars......

Abhishek-Rani
The Bunty Aur Babli pair won't be seen in a film anytime soon. Rani Mukherji, who was linked to Abhishek Bachchan, just before he married Aishwarya Rai is smarting from the humiliation of not been invited to the wedding.

For the first time in an interview to a magazine the actress admits being hurt at the omission, despite being close to the Bachchans for years. She has also worked with Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, and it hurt that much more when she was left out of the guestlist for the wedding. In the said interview, Rani opens up, "The truth is that if a person chooses not to invite you to their wedding, you realise where you stand with the person.

You may be deluded and think you are friends but maybe the friendship was only restricted to being co-stars on the sets. It doesn't matter. It became very clear and evident that we were only co-actors and not friends. Moreover, inviting someone to a wedding is a personal choice. Tomorrow when I decide to get married, I will choose the handful of people I want to invite. Poor guy has been married for many years, we should all move on. I will always have fond memories of working with him."

Ranbir-Sonam
Now it is out in the open. In an interview to Filmfare magazine, Sonam Kapoor has confessed that she is no longer on talking terms with her childhood friend Ranbir Kapoor.

The hostility started following some comments made by Sonam on Koffee With Karan, after which Rishi Kapoor blasted her in print. She expected Ranbir to show grace and apologise for his dad's rude comments. But that didn't happen. And things just got worse over time.

The actress candidly admits, "I don't speak to Ranbir anymore. We are no longer friends, I guess. I am not in touch with him. He doesn't feature in my life at all. Honestly, discussing him and Deepika in all my interviews is very annoying. By going on the show with Deepika when their break-up story was still fresh, I just got caught in the crossfire. I am an unfortunate victim."
