Ash-Sonam Controversy

Since the day, the two have been part of the same cosmetic brand Loreal.And since then, the Aishwarya Bachchan – Sonam Kapoor controversy refuses to die down too.

Both Ash and Sonam seem to be in no mood of calling it quits from the war of words. Just a few weeks back Sonam had taken a dig at Aishwarya by calling her 'Aunty Ji' as she had starred with her dad Anil Kapoor. Now, Aishwarya has hit back at her by calling her just another junior actress.

While inaugurating a beauty school for the cosmetic giant L'Oreal Aishwarya said that the issue had been blown up by the media. Aishwarya also said that there was no competition between her and Sonam and as the Saawariya girl was just another junior actress. She added that nowhere seniors need to compete with their juniors to prove themselves.

Sonam and Aishwarya have been engaged in a war of words ever since L'Oreal had chosen Sonam as the young face of their brand. Sonam had stated that she was the young face while Ash represented the older one.

Ash did not take this dig at her age kindly and made sure Sonam missed the opportunity to walk the Red Carpet with other beauties of the world during the Cannes Film Festival.

Ash-Sonam Catfight Begins

Aishwarya Rai-Sonam Kapoor seems to be in a mood of a catfight as of now. In a foray to take revenge with the Bachchan Bahu who reportedly stopped Sonam from walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival after Sonam had said during the L'Oreal product launch that she is the young face of L’Oreal while Ash represents the older generation.

Ash had been badly remarked by Sonam as Aunty ji. Ash is hurt by this
remark and had even demanded an apology from this two movie old naughty Kapoor.

But Sonam has gone ahead in seeking revenge and has started calling Aishwarya Rai ‘Aunty ji’ among her close friends. And she also tries to justify this.

“Ash has worked with my dad so I have to call her Aunty na,” she says candidly.

Ash has not reacted to this statement yet and this may be an indication of the beginning of a major catfight between the Bachchan Bahu and Sonam Kapoor.

Let’s see what’s in store for the two beauties of Bollywood and whether being called an 'Aunty ji' really triggers Ash off or she decides to maintain her calm and forgive Sonam.

Aishwarya Rai and Sonam Kapoor fights at Cannes

When it comes to Aishwarya Rai, Cannes and controversy go hand-in-hand. While Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is at Cannes year after year in her capacity as the international brand ambassador for a cosmetic giant, Sonam Kapoor was added to the list of ambassadors this year and promised by the company that she would be walking the croisette in the company of the dream team of Aishwarya, Eva Longoria and Michelle Yeoh.

“Being on the same platform as Aishwarya, for me, is a big deal in itself." However when Aishwarya, who considers Cannes her turf, found out that she would be sharing limelight with Sonam she was hopping mad.

Aishwarya Rai's deal with the company is clear: she is the international face while Sonam would represent the Indian face. Faced with Aishwarya’s determined stand the company had no option but to inform that she would no longer be walking the red carpet in Cannes during the premiere of Pedro Almodovar’s latest film Broken Embraces starring Penelope Cruz, another ambassador for the brand.

Vismay Shama, India head of the brand, refused to throw light on the matter. He said, “We will release an official statement afterwards. Till then you will have to wait.”

But sources confirm that the young actress Sonam Kapoor, who starred with Abhishek Bachchan in Dilli 6, is crushed at the missed opportunity. Faced with Aishwarya's determined stand the company had no option but to inform Sonam that she would no longer be walking the red carpet in Cannes.
