Here's how Variety worded Sonam's achievements:
Last year, the busy Bollywood actress starred in women-empowerment comedy “Veere di Wedding”; “Padman,” in which her character facilitates the journey of a man who makes it his life’s mission to provide affordable sanitary pads to rural Indian women; and “Sanju,” Bollywood’s highest grosser of the year. Already in 2019, she has starred in “Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga,” Bollywood’s first mainstream LGBTQIA film. “Labels and stereotypes are dangerous and detrimental and it has always been my endeavor to break them,” Kapoor Ahuja tells Variety. “No effort is too small. Someday we are all just going to be memories and it’s my aim to be the best one I possibly can.”
It must be an honour indeed for Sonam for she is in good company of power players from all corners of the world, including Emily Blunt, Georgia Brown, Michaela Coel and Oscar winning actor Olivia Colman.
