Fashionista Sonam Kapoor and her sister, designer Rhea Kapoor’s bond sets some solid sibling goals. The two have collaborated on several projects -- first being Aisha, which has clocked 11 years today. Sonam, to this end, during a recent Clubhouse session, revealed she and her sister were bullied during the Aisha days - by some men in the industry. Aisha marked Rhea’s production debut in the industry.
Sonam said, “As women, we don’t realise that there is more power in numbers. The way my sister (Rhea) and I were bullied through the process of making the film by some of the men in the industry made us realise when there are more of you together, it’s easier to stand up to things and give each other strength. So that is the one thing that was a takeaway from Aisha that I always knew my sister was my best friend.”
Rhea Kapoor spoke about how the movie was initially hated and trolled but was gradually liked by the audience. About the criticism faced by Aisha on its release, she said, “What a lot of people don’t know about Aisha is that the film became more accepted and successful many years after its release. Gal Mithhi Mithhi Bol was the only thing that was outright successful. The film made a little bit of money, but received a lot of hate initially. People thought we made this film simply because we could, but the release of the film forced us both to grow up a lot.”
