Actress Sonam Kapoor, who is known to speak out her mind, had a lot to say in an interview with Anupama Chopra, when it came to the topic of sexism. The 31 year old said she finds the rampant sexism in the industry disgusting. She said actors John Abraham and Varun Dhawan got money for 'Dishoom' was "way more than what Kareena (Kapoor) and I were getting to make 'Veere Di Wedding'. We are making 'Veere' and we are getting an okay budget, but we are not getting what we want. I have to cut my fee, and Bebo has to cut her fee to get this film there. The film is not as elaborate as we imagined. It is sad and heartbreaking. We need to work extra hard to make it look a certain way."

Meanwhile celebrity writer Shobhaa De ended her beef with the 'Khoobsurat' actress, 6 years after calling her a "lassie who lacks oomph". Sonam had in response, tweeted, "Guys, please don't take Shobhaa De seriously. She's a fossil who's getting no action and going through menopause. So just for her." De, now admitted she wants to make amends, tweeting, "Saw this ad #ThingsDon'tJudge but people do. Inspired to make amends, Sonam Kapoor, I got it wrong. You are super hot."
