Remember when Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor made their debut together in ‘Saawariya’ and were everywhere promoting the film literally hand in hand? After the film flopped, so did their relationship. Years later, Ranbir went on to become this star with hit films while Sonam was still struggling to make her place in the industry. What was similar about them then was how immature both were. There’s nothing wrong in that, but they did it in public so all of that are etched forever, which brings us to today’s ancient war of words between Sonam and Ranbir. Come to think of it, there must be something that made them not want to work with each other before. But it seems that all is forgotten now, since it has been rumoured Sonam has signed on to work with Ranbir in his upcoming film, ‘Dutt’. Anyways, let’s have some fun and check out the banter that happened years ago, which was spread through the media, thanks to uncle KJo’s ‘Koffee with Karan’. Also note that at that time, Papa Kapoor was not aware his son is the queen of gossip in Bollywood.

Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor’s War of Words

Sonam Kapoor:

Well, it was Ranbir who started it all by saying ‘Sonam is not sexy’. I just shot back and said ‘Ranbir is not sexy’. If a man says it, chalta hai. But when a woman says the same thing, nahi chalta hai? That’s sexist! Why should I say ‘sorry’ to him? Just because his father made a hue and cry about it? If Ranbir apologises to me, I shall too.

Ranbir Kapoor:

She is a bit of a drama queen but I like her.

Sonam:

I am an actress, darling. If I don’t do drama, who else will?

Ranbir’s father, Rishi Kapoor:

Well to put things in the right perspective, all I can say is that with both the girls it is a case of sour grapes. I have known Sonam’s father Anil for years. All I will say to the girls is: in stead of doing all this ‘ concentrate on your careers. Why do you run shows that have so much gossip? I have done Koffee With Karan earlier with Neetu, my brothers and sister; there was great camaraderie and laughter on our show. We didn’t run anyone down. I don’t think you should encourage people to wash dirty linen in public. You will never see Ranbir running anyone down. What can I say to Anil? Everyone is family here and these girls are like my children. I don’t want to get into fights involving my son’s friends.

It just shows their ( Deepika and Sonam) class. I would like to tell them to stop giggling all the time and instead grow up and behave maturely. They are there on the show because they are their father’s daughters and not because of their work! I would advise them to stop talking about their colleagues and running them down.
