Mumbai: Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor takes pride in representing the country’s rich heritage, history and diversity on a global platform. Sonam said that if I have to represent India somehow, I will highlight the diversity and resilience of the country.
The actress said that the fact that we have such a strong cultural heritage and ancient civilization means that whatever is made in India is of great importance. It is a multicultural place where people of many religions live in harmony, and it is very important to represent that.
The actress added that apart from being the land of yoga and spirituality, which other parts of the world are famous for, India is also famous for its music and artistic craftsmanship. It is the area of jewelery and embroidery. Most importantly, many haute couture and luxury houses in India have incorporated intricate embroidery on their garments.
Sonam greatly influences pop culture through her fashion and style. She uses her social media platforms to promote Indian craftsmanship. She says that when you have a platform, you have a responsibility to put forward your most authentic self, you should represent yourself and not pretend. When you have the right moral values and worldview, it’s interesting to see how people value and relate to it.
