What Sonakshi Sinha said on a taping of Vogue BFFs with designer Manish Malhotra as her co-guest was that Sonam once showed her 'a lot of attitude, which... was unnecessary.' Sonam tweeted a link to an article that reported the quote, writing: "Sona, I've always been warm towards you. Don't remember showing you attitude! If you feel that way I'm sorry!" Sonakshi's response: "Sonam Kapoor, don't be silly. We've all been on these shows where we are coaxed to say things we really don't want to. And then aren't we used to things being blown out of proportion? Not to be taken seriously! Big hug."

Rather refrain from saying something you don't mean than try to appease a talk-show host in pursuit of headlines or sensationalism

Manish Malhotra, an unwitting participant on the sidelines, was thanked by Sonam in her tweet for saying these nice things on the show about her: "I think she is a real fashionista, and she is fabulous but I think Sonam has a lot more talent. She should definitely work a lot more. I mean she should do more films," news agency IANS reports.
Sonam Kapoor stars in last week's major release PadMan, co-starring Akshay Kumar and Radhika Apte. The film has earned Rs 23 crore so far. The film is based on Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented a low-cost sanitary pad making machine. PadMan is produced by Twinkle Khanna and is directed by R Balki.
Sonakshi Sinha was seen last year in Noor and Ittefaq and has Welcome To New York lined up for release.
