Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor, who turned 24 recently, says she always wanted to be a star and not just another actor. “For me, stardom is a new and novel experience… it’s lovely. That’s why I became a film actor… I wanted that… I wanted to act and be something. If I only wanted to be an actor, I would have done theatre. But I actually wanted to be a star and I make no bones about that,” Sonam told IANS in an interview here.Sonam, who made her Bollywood debut in 2007 with “Saawariya” and later featured in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s “Delhi 6″, says stardom definitely brings more pressure but she knows how to manage it.“There is added pressure but I have been brought up in a way that I am extremely confident of who I am,” she said.The actress is also aware of the three-decade-old body of work her father Anil Kapoor carries behind him and says besides looking up to him for advice, she also takes due advantage of being his daughter.

Sonam Kapoor 'stops wearing Galliano'
Sonam Kapoor has announced that she will not wear clothes by controversial former Christian Dior designer John Galliano.
The actress, who played a fashionista in last year's Aisha, is upset by the designer's alleged anti-Semitic statements in Paris earlier this week.
A source told Mid Day: "She is extremely fashion conscious and loves wearing the brand's outfits, especially those designed by Galliano. For Aisha, a majority of Sonam's outfits and accessories came from the designer label.
"She even possesses a few outfits from the fashion house. But she could never condone anti-Semitic statements, no matter how much she loves the designer."
The Bollywood star joins figures such as Natalie Portman in condemning Galliano's widely-publicised comments.

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.
