As usual the fashionista of Bollywood, Sonam Kapoor was seen living up to her notorious image as she has been amongst the most controversial people who have ever set foot on the show; and the release teaser is the evident proof for why she has made that name for herself.
And this time Sonam fittingly disclosed how her brothers have slept with all of her friends, and that there’s no one left. This made the Ishqzaade star super uncomfortable and he even asked Sonam what kind of a sister would say such things about her brothers.
Arjun also sarcastically announced out loud that Sonam is back, ladies and gentleman, implying how she has yet again lived up to her reputation of saying the most unfiltered things possible while staying unabashed.
The teaser also showed how the forgetful Sonam Kapoor went on to call the upcoming Brahmastra as Shiva number-1. Sonam forgot the name of the much awaited Bollywood movie Brahmastra, which took about 8 years in making. She slyly termed the movie as Ayan’s film but when Karan Johar, who’s also the co-producer of Brahmastra put her in the spot as asked about the name of the movie, she faltered and called it Shiva number 1. This moment welcomed a fitting reaction from Arjun Kapoor where he hid his face while calling her a mess.
