Bollywood's fashionista Sonam Kapoor, more than her caliber as an actress has been known for her penchant for chick fashion and trendy style. But not many know that the girl apart from keeping tabs on the trending fashion also has the inclination and love for literature.

The actress claims, that since her childhood she has been hooked to reading and has always engrossed herself in reading novels in her leisure time. As a child, despite of belonging to film family she wasn't allowed to watch television at any given time. Instead, she revealed that it was her mother who inculcated the habit of reading.

"Books which you read give you a sense of empathy and a sense of right and wrong. They give you morals and ethics. It takes you to a place where you have never been and you feel that you can do so much more", said Sonam.
