Sonam Kapoor, one of Bollywood’s most stylish and talented actresses, is all set to make a return to the screen after a long hiatus. The actress, who has been largely absent from the film industry since her marriage in 2018, is gearing up to begin shooting for a new project in 2025. This will mark her first appearance in front of the camera in three years, and fans are eagerly awaiting her return.
A Break from the Spotlight
After her marriage to businessman Anand Ahuja in 2018, Sonam Kapoor chose to step back from her acting career. She appeared in only a handful of films during this time, as she focused on her personal life. The birth of her son Vayu in 2022 further solidified her decision to take a break from the industry. For the past two years, Sonam has devoted herself to motherhood, spending quality time with her son and embracing her new role as a mother.
The Exciting Return
Now that Vayu is two years old, Sonam is ready to return to her passion—acting. In a recent statement, she expressed her excitement about getting back to work. “I am thrilled to face the camera again after my pregnancy,” Sonam said. “I love being an actress and portraying different characters through my work.” The actress also hinted that she would begin shooting for an OTT project early next year, though she has kept the details of the project under wraps.
Big Project on the Horizon
While Sonam Kapoor has not revealed whether her upcoming project will be a web series or a film, she has described it as a “big project.” The secrecy surrounding the project has only heightened anticipation among her fans. “I can’t share much right now, but I can say that it’s going to be a significant project,” Sonam teased. Her fans, who have missed seeing her on screen, are eagerly awaiting more information.
Recent Work and Mixed Reviews
Sonam Kapoor’s last film, Blind, was released on July 7, 2023, on the OTT platform Jio Cinema. The film, which was directed by Shom Makhija and starred Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, and Lillete Dubey alongside Sonam, did not receive much acclaim from audiences or critics. The movie was completed before the birth of her son Vayu but was released a year after his arrival. Despite the lukewarm response to Blind, Sonam’s fans are hopeful that her upcoming project will mark a successful return to the screen.
A Look Back at Sonam’s Post-Marriage Career
Following her marriage in 2018, Sonam Kapoor appeared in a few notable films. Her first film after tying the knot was Veere Di Wedding, which was released just a month after her wedding and was a box office success. She also appeared in Sanju, a biographical film about actor Sanjay Dutt, where she played a supporting role alongside Ranbir Kapoor.
In 2019, Sonam was seen in Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, where she shared the screen with her father, Anil Kapoor. The film, which also starred Rajkummar Rao, explored a unique storyline and received positive reviews for its progressive theme. Later that year, she appeared in The Zoya Factor, a romantic comedy based on the novel by Anuja Chauhan. Although the film didn’t perform well at the box office, Sonam’s performance was appreciated.
Sonam Kapoor also made a special appearance in Netflix’s AK vs AK, a meta-comedy film featuring Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap. Despite these appearances, her recent projects have not seen much commercial success, making her upcoming return all the more anticipated.
Sonam Kapoor’s decision to return to acting after a significant break has generated excitement in the film industry and among her fans. With her new project set to begin in 2025, the actress is ready to reclaim her place in Bollywood, bringing her unique charm and talent back to the screen.
