HT Brunch Cover Story: Sonam Kapoor interviewed by her BFF

The actor in an intimate tete-a-tete with her childhood friend Samyukta Nair throws up answers only a best buddy can elicit

Sonam and I were born in the same month of the same year, only 17 days apart (Sonam is older, which is something I never tire of hearing – by way of good counsel, of course), which means I’ve known her my entire life. So, interviewing her feels both a little strange and all too familiar at the same time. But it is an absolute honour to interview one of the best people I know.

For Sonam Kapoor, family is everything. On Sonam: Dandelion; make-up and hair: Maria Asadi(Rowben Lantion)

For Sonam, having a home where your doors are wide open for friends, cousins and colleagues, with a hot meal ready to be served and a side of laughter, is everything (Rowben Lantion)
