Sonam Kapoor Controversies:
- While Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone bonded well on the sets of ‘Koffee with Karan’, they still have a lot of differences.

- Sonam Kapoor showed her middle finger to the press while attending a conference during the promotion of her film ‘Players’. She was least apologetic of the act as she believes that everything should be kept honest and straight.

- Abhay Deol expressed his views on the failure of Anil Kapoor’s home production ‘Aisha’. He stated that a lot of time and money was spent on Sonam Kapoor’s outfit rather than concentrating on the plot and characters.
- When Shobha De commented on Sonam Kapoor’s film ‘I hate Luv Stories’, she gave it back on Karan Johar’s famous chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’.
