Sonam Kapoor as an actor is known more for her outgoing personality and an amazing sense of fashion. However, her movie graph has never been so high that she would get a lot of praise for her actual job. That brings a lot of limelight on her as the haters would know well to pull the spotlight away from her whenever given a chance. Her public remarks also add up to that. Sonam is known to have made quite open and harsh remarks that do not come off as acceptable. Instead, she gets mocked as someone who is a brat and a result of nepotism.
Here are 10 times that Sonam proved to be the barbie of controversy and drama:
