The actress has had a massive impact on pop culture significantly through her sartorial choices. Sonam is batting for slow fashion and the need to turn towards embracing vintage in pop culture. Sonam Kapoor said, “I make sure to wear and do things that have no negative impact on anyone. I strive to make responsible choices. I have always believed in slow fashion, buying classic, beautiful pieces, and reusing vintage clothes. I don't support fast fashion, as it is wasteful and harmful to the environment. However, I understand its necessity for those who can't afford luxury vintage fashion.”

She added, “I am a strong supporter of second-hand websites, despite it not being part of our culture. Indian culture embraces local tailors and artisans, which is a form of slow fashion not readily available in the West. We need a combination of both: making tailoring clothes accessible in the West and accepting the mentality of wearing someone else’s clothes.”

Sonam wants to use her influence as the biggest voice of fashion in India to create awareness about conscious fashion. “As actors, we have an impact, and people like to follow what we do. I hope people turn to vintage and adopt it as a lifestyle choice. It is imperative because our wasteful ways is hurting the environment and the planet,” she concluded.

On the work front, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja is expected to make a comeback on the screen with Battle for Bittora.
