After taking a purposeful break from films to embrace motherhood, Sonam Kapoor is gearing up for a grand comeback in Bollywood. The actress, who made her debut with Saawariya and won hearts with memorable performances in Neerja, Delhi-6, Aisha, Raanjhana, Khoobsurat, and more, is ready to step back into the spotlight.
In a candid conversation with Times of India, Sonam shared, “Becoming a mother was a journey I wanted to fully embrace, giving myself the time to watch my son grow and experience every moment. Being a mom has been incredibly fulfilling, and one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.”
Sonam’s journey into motherhood has been deeply fulfilling, but her passion for acting remains unwavering. She revealed that her post-pregnancy projects will focus on stories with strong female leads, adding, “I have always tried to pick projects with the girl at the heart of the story, and that vision hasn’t changed. I want to do projects where the role of the woman is layered and not unidimensional.” Her first film post-motherhood is slated to release in the last quarter of 2025.
Sonam Kapoor’s son, Vayu Kapoor, born on August 20, 2022, has been at the center of her life over the past few years. While stepping away from films, she remained active on social media and continued to make waves at international brand events, effortlessly balancing motherhood and public life.
Recently, she stunned at an event wearing a sculpted couture gown by Rahul Mishra. The off-shoulder dress, crafted in shimmering gold with dramatic folds, was paired with sleek pulled-back hair and a netted headpiece, giving the look a surrealist elegance. Sonam accessorized with the Spring Song Choker and Earrings from the Whispers from the Valley collection, which drew inspiration from the stillness of snow and the subtle stir of green apples beneath frost. Golden heels completed her ensemble, creating a modern-day interpretation of old-world glamour.
As Sonam Kapoor prepares to return to the big screen, audiences eagerly await her next cinematic chapter—one that promises the same charm, elegance, and depth that have always defined her performances.
