Sonam Kapoor quote: "Reading has made me more open, has improved my understanding, and has made me a better artiste, but it also makes me live in my own bubble. My mom keeps asking me, 'What do you read in that room the whole day?' Once I am into a book, I will finish it."

I think every single imperfection adds to your beauty. I'd rather be imperfect than perfect.
