Sonam Kapoor Remembers How People Made Fun of Her After Aisha’s Release: ‘It Forced Me And My Sister To Grow Up A Lot’

Despite the fact that Sonam Kapoor’s 2010 film Aisha established her as a fashionista in the film business, both critics and audiences were critical of the film. When the film turned 11 years old, the actress and her sister Rhea, who bankrolled Aisha, conducted a Clubhouse session in which they discussed the challenges they faced both before and after the film’s premiere.

Rhea claimed that after Aisha’s release, Sonam was teased and laughed at for dressing up. She even told an incident about how a film director made her sister a laughingstock at a party.

According to a News18 story, Rhea said, “After the film was released, people mocked and laughed at us. I recall an instance at a party where an aspiring director at the time, who is now well established, looked at Sonam’s dress and remarked, ‘Where is Sonam Kapoor going in this outfit?'”

During the debate, Sonam stated that those who lauded her for her previous flicks Saawariya and Delhi-6 misread Aisha, making her a susceptible target. The actress went on to remark that as an insider in the industry, the people you grow up with cease being supportive once you become a part of it. She claimed that the fashion sector was more supportive of her than the film industry.

Sonam stated that while Aisha made a lot of money, it was first met with a lot of criticism. “Several people are unaware that Aisha grew more accepted and successful many years after its initial debut. The only thing that was a complete success was ‘Gal Mithhi Mithhi Bol.’ The picture made a little money, although it garnered a lot of flak at first. People assumed we made this film simply because we could, but the film’s release forced us both to mature significantly.”

Rhea, on the other hand, recounted how some males in the industry tormented her and Sonam when they were filming. She stated, “We, as women, are unaware that there are more powers in numbers. The way some of the males in the industry abused me and my sister during the filming process taught us that when there are more of you together, it’s easier to stand up to things and offer each other strength. So that was the one thing I took away from Aisha: I always knew my sister was my best friend.”

Directed by Rajshree Ojha, Aisha was an adaptation of Jane Austen’s popular novel Emma.
