EXCLUSIVE: I am Taking Over the Social Media - Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor has been quite a trendsetter. From fashion to now social media, the actress is surely impressing all. The latest feather in her cap is the launch of her own app. Sonam launched her app yesterday at a grand event.
Ask the lady as to what made her come up with the idea and Sonam reveals, "It was little less than a year ago, when we decided to come up with the app. I always wanted to start something of my own - like a game or something. But that is not new. It has been done for most of the films. And app is cool, present, relevant and has personal connection. And also, you need to be trendsetter in whatever you do. I was 23 years old when I did Aisha, a rom-com, after which many followed. I guess where clothes, fashion and social media is concerned, it is not that I am trying to be a trendsetter or experimenting new things. It is just that I am thinking out of the box."
Is this similar to Kim Kardashian's app?
"She is the most popular but there are lots of other celebrities who have their app. There is Rolling Stones, Country Music Star and so many others. It is not fair to compare and I am an actor and have lots to offer. It is a sad thing to be compared and Indian media has this habit of boxing everything into slots. My app has sections like - Style Market, Workaholic, Sonam Live, My Drive, Friends, Fan and Messages and there is Chronicles. It covers everything."
Given that Sonam Kapoor is all set to walk the Cannes 2016 red carpet on May 14, one wonders if this app will stream that live, and Sonam is quick to respond, "Yes of course, I will be very much live at the Cannes red carpet. Though I don't know what I am wearing."
So does this mean that she will be less active on the other social media platforms?
"Not at all! I would be on all the social media platforms and my app is interconnected to them. I am taking over Social Media," laughs Sonam.
Well, we couldn't agree more Sonam!
