Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor has always been the talk of the town for her fashion sense. Recently she delved into maternity fashion, which received some mixed responses from the fans. Ever since her birthday on June 9, she has appeared in multiple photoshoots aimed at exhibiting her pregnancy. This practice is common among western celebrities, but Bollywood heroines have also been sharing the stage for the past few years. However, the recent Sonam Kapoor pregnancy shoot received backlash due to its resemblance with Barbadian singer Rihanna. The actress has been sharing her pregnancy pictures frequently, just like the singer. Moreover, her fashion also emulated the same vibe as Rihanna.
Critics Troll Sonam Kapoor Pregnancy Shoot
In one Sonam Kapoor pregnancy shoot, the actress was seen in an all-white ensemble with a bare belly. In another one, she appeared in a black kaftan just like Rihanna at the Oscars party. Then she continued to flaunt her baby bump out in the open while walking on London streets. This led many viewers to call her Bollywood’s Rihanna, given her obsession with showing off her abdomen.
Other Celebrities in Maternity Fashion
Before Sonam Kapoor pregnancy shoot went viral, many other celebrities did the same but probably faced less backlash than her. These celebrities include Lisa Haydon, Anushka Sharma, Neha Dhupia, and Kareena Kapoor.
Sonam Kapoor’s Marriage
Sonam Kapoor married Indian businessman Anand Ahuja on May 8, 2018, and on March 22, the couple announced their pregnancy.
Sonam is known for her outspoken personality, supporting LGBT and raising breast cancer awareness. The daughter of Bollywood legend Anil Kapoor has been on a long hiatus from the silver screen. However, she is soon going to appear in 2 big-budget films. One of them is ‘Blind’, a remake of the 2011 Korean film of the same name. It revolves around a blind police officer searching for a serial killer. The film is a delayed project, and the exact release date is currently unknown. Another one is ‘Battle of Bittora’, which was recently “resurrected” after being shelved for unknown reasons.
