Sorry, I got so lost in the cuteness of Sonam and Anand that I forgot there were other people at this event! Here’s Sonam’s little sis, Rhea Kapoor. Rhea has produced two of her big sister’s most entertaining movies: “Aisha” and “Khoobsurat,” and also produced the highly anticipated “Veere Di Wedding.” Basically, she’s the epitome of #girlboss.
