3. Pad Man

Despite the fact that this 2018 film starred Akshay Kumar and Radhika Apte in the lead roles, Sonam’s little screen time left an impression on the audience. She took on the role of a management student who wished to promote menstrual hygiene awareness.

4. Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga

Sonam defied several prejudices when she played the lead character of a homosexual in this 2019 film. For the first time, real-life father and daughter Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor shared the screen as reel-life father and daughter in this film. Sonam plays the role of a lesbian who struggles with her true self but eventually triumphs over her inner demons, her family, and society in the film.

5. Mausam

In this 2011 film, the diva was coupled with Shahid Kapoor. She portrayed Aayat in the film. Fans admired her plain appearance and on-screen demeanor.
