Sonam Kapoor Donates 3000 Kites To Her Alma Mater!

Whatever actress Sonam Kapoor does, she does it in style, be it her swanky dresses in Aisha or donating gifts for charity. Sonam bought 3000 kites and “phirkis” for the occasion of Makar Sakranti, but not for herself of course, she gifted them to the tiny tots at “Arya Vidya Mandir” school in Juhu which happens to be her alma mater. She was not physically present as she was out of town for some shoot. She did write to the principle of “Arya Vidya Mandir” apologizing for her absence.

She also mentioned in the letter that the strings sent along with the kites are not glass coated but normal cotton ones. Glass coated razor sharp strings can cause serious injuries to birds flying up in the sky and she being a member of PETA, wanted to spread the awareness. She also mentioned that as a kid, she very seriously injured herself once with the “maanja,” and did not want the same to happen to the kids of “Arya Vidya Mandir.” She mentioned that she badly wanted to be present at the school and personally give away the kites but could not do so.

A PETA spokes person mentioned that children love animals and they would never want to hurt them intentionally. If awareness can be spread among these kids, then it will automatically trigger the usage of cotton strings. Children must know that “maanjas” are equally harmful for them and other living creatures.

Sonam Kapoor On A Shopping Spree

Fashionista Sonam Kapoor, who has been shooting for Pankaj Kapoor's "Mausam" in Patiala, couldn’t help but go on a shopping spree.

"Last day in Patiala… bought beautiful mojris, patiala salwars, phulkari dupattas and parandas, great craftsmanship here…," Sonam posted on Twitter.

Though she sports a lot of high-end international labels, street shopping is also quite Sonam's cup of tea.

She laments that a lot of Indian crafts are taking a backseat.

"Local artisans are extremely talented. But a lot of the local crafts like phulkari embroidery are dying. It's really sad because their work is so fine and beautiful."

Sonam Craving To Do Stunts

Sonam Kapoor is an aspirant, confident and a diligent bollywood actress. Immediately after recovering from the bout of typhoid Sonam Kapoor has plunged herself into work. Sonam is busy shooting for her upcoming movies Mausam and Thank You. Sonam is also signed for the remake of the Italian Job starring Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol and Neil Nitin Mukesh directed by Abbas-Mustan. It seems that Sonam is not just satisfied playing the glam doll in the bollywood movies but wants to attempt stunts as well.

May be the preparations being made for the Italian Job is influencing her to think this way. As all Abbas-Mustan movies have been action packed and this time too the men in the movie will be seen doing some perilous action scenes, Sonam has asked the directors Abbas-Mustan to incorporate some stunts for her too. If the directors fulfill her desire it will be a pleasant change to see beautiful and amiable Sonam Kapoor giving some tough fight to the gang of the bollywood debonairs in the movie.
