Sonam Kapoor: I don't think fashion has taken precedence over films

Bollywood divas Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor recently graced the Cannes Film Festival and took social media by storm with their stunning avatars. While the world couldn’t stop drooling over how gorgeous our Indian beauties looked, there was one actress who wasn’t very pleased with the whole scenario.

In the midst of all the applause, Bollywood actress Shabana Azmi took to her Twitter handle and shared a picture of hers with yesteryear actress Smita Patil and Shyam Benegal, which was clicked when they promoted their movie ‘Nishant’ at the French Riviera in 1976. She further captioned it as “The simplicity of it all. Film was important not the clothes! (sic)."

Reacting to this, Sonam recently said, “I don't think fashion has taken precedence over films. I am representing a cosmetic brand here and it only makes sense to do my make-up and hair. I would be dressing up differently if I was here for a film."

Following this, Shabana took to her Twitter handle and further tweeted:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sonam is right.She is there as a brand ambassador for a cosmetic brand and she is there to promote it.I have no quarrel with that. <a href="https://t.co/DdakbPpyb9">https://t.co/DdakbPpyb9</a></p>&mdash; Azmi Shabana (@AzmiShabana) <a href="https://twitter.com/AzmiShabana/status/867239279562444800">May 24, 2017</a></blockquote>
