As per IANS, Sonam said, “I love fashion. My mum used to be a fashion designer. So, I grew up surrounded by fashion.

The actress added that her passion for films and fashion led her to create an impact. She was quoted saying, “I am enjoying fashion and beautiful things without taking myself too seriously. Fashion is supposed to be fun, an escape. It's important to appreciate the beauty and goodness in life.”
