The Prem Ratan Dhan Payo director is mighty upset with the glamazon for doing such a daring cover as she plays a shy, demure, doe-eyed desi girl in his film, her next release. He feels it’s not the right time for her to be flashing her decolletage to the hilt.

According to a source, “Sooraj was quite upset by Sonam’s ultra-modern avatar on the cover which borders on risque. In PRDP, the girl she plays is a far cry from the supreme seductress on the latest cover. He feels this sort of image will jeopardise her on-screen persona in his film.”

Over the years, actresses in Barjatya’s films have been the epitome for coy, homely girls, rooted to their culture and family values and who evoke a doe-eyed countenance. Sonam’s sexy-as-hell cover negates that persona. The director has relayed it to his leading lady to be more conscious henceforth and keep in mind, the character she is playing in her next release.

SLB bhi?
Sanjay Leela Bhanshali was mighty miffed with Ranveer Singh when he had accepted Hrithik Roshan's Bang Bang Dare last year and danced on a busy road junction as amused onlookers passed him by. SLB felt that as Ranveer essays the regal Peshwa Bajirao in his upcoming film, Bajirao Mastani, he ought not to have done something as juvenile, as this random act would dilute his on-screen portrayal. He warned Singh to be more restrained in public in the future.

Sonam Kapoor was spotted at a recent event wearing an extremely revealing outfit. This is not the first occasion that the actress has dared to bare some cleavage. We pick 10 such instances
