Why couldn’t Sonam go to Cannes?

L’Oreal some days back made an official announcement on May 11th that newbie Sonam Kapoor is the latest entrant in their L’Oreal dream team and would walk the red carpet at Cannes, read their statement here:

“Raising the toast to celebrate the association, Sonam Kapoor was welcomed as the youngest member to join the L’Oreal Paris dream team that includes awe-inspiring beauties such as Aishwarya Rai (Bachchan), Penelope Cruz, Naomi Lenoir, Andie MacDowell, Beyonce Knowles, Laetitia Casta, Kerry Washington, Milla Jovovich, Michelle Yeoh, Eva Longoria and Scarlett Johansson. 2009 will be a highlight year for the L’Oreal Paris brand in India as both its spokespersons – the iconic Aishwarya Rai and Sonam will represent Indian beauty and talent oversees at the Cannes Film Festival alongside other members of the dream team.”

However on May 12th they released another statement that read, “We do not want to take part in or encourage any controversy involving our spokespeople. There were adverse reports in certain sections of media after some comments by Sonam Kapoor, which were presented out of context.

“Following this, in order to avoid further escalation, we have advised Sonam not to go to Cannes as was planned earlier, bearing in mind that there would be more interesting opportunities for future appearances in Europe for her.”

Sonam’s comments were simple that she was honored to walk with legends like Ash, Penelope and Eva. What went wrong in one day that Sonam was removed from the dream team list?

Could it be Ash? However Ash’s spokesperson denies Ash’s involvement in the whole issue, a source says, “She (Aishwarya) did not even know that Sonam was going to be at Cannes because she was there for just two days (May 13-14) where her days were packed with back-to-back interactions with the international media, fashion shoots for various European fashion magazines and other business meetings besides attending all the events at the festival.”

So what could be the real reason folks?

    She opened her BIG mouth too soon. She should have kept her trap shut. she was making too much negative comments about Ash.

    FEEL REALLY BAD FOR SONAM…………SHE HAS THE PERSONALITY FOR INTERNATIONAL EVENTS AND SURE WOULD HAVE HAD HER PRESENCE FELT. ANYWHERE ASH FEELS SHE HAS TO SHARE THE LIMELIGHT SHE GETS INSECURE……….REMEMBER GURU PREMIER, WHERE SHE STOPPED MALLIKA SHERAWAT TO ATTEND IT, HOW INSECURE SHE WAS WITH RANI AFTER MARRIAGE AND NOW THIS………SHE HAS IT ALL (IN SO CALLED COMMERCIAL SENSE), THEN WHY SUCH A BEHAVIOR ??????? OF COURSE SHE IS FROM ANOTHER GENERATION AS SONAMS……..A 10 YR IFFERENCE IS ‘OFFICIALLY’ ANOTHER GENERATION…….WHTS WRONG THERE ?????? AGING INSECURITIES, I GUESS.

    Aishwarya is an innocent party.Pls stop dragging her into this episode, she is very professional and the media reports are making its rounds.

    sonam has not said anything bad or wrong about Aish.She should accept the fact…

    From the interviews given by Ash during the Cannes 2009 festival she had made it very clear
    that she has been invited by both the cannes and loreal team. this seems like a clear dig at sonam
    or any other celebrity from the indian cinema.

    i am not suprised if Ash deliberately got sonam kicked out of the cannes festival as ash herself realises she has a limited shelf time and youger actresses such as sonam and katrina are now taking over.

    SONAM IS JUST BREATHTAKINGLY GORGEOUS… IT’S SAD FOR ME TO THINK THAT THIS GIRL HAS HAD TO GO THROUGH SO MANY “BUMPS IN THE ROAD” SO EARLY IN HER CAREER.
    THE FAILURE OF SAAWARIYA (WHICH WAS NOT HER FAULT)
    BREAK-UP WITH RANBIR (BECAUSE OF THE B*TCHY BOYFRIEND STEALER SH*TIKA!)
    & NOW ALL THESE THINGS OBVIOUSLY CAUSED BY ASH WHO IS TOO INSECURE AT 35 TO LET A NEWCOMER ATTEND CANNES…

    WELL DON’T BE DISHEARTENED SONAM, ,I KNOW YOU’LL SOON GIVE A HIT, RANBIR & DEEPIKA WILL BREAK UP(I MEAN WHO ACTUALLY THINKS THEY’LL LAST MUCH LONGER!?), & HONEY IT’S CANNES LOSS THAT YOU WON’T BE ATTENDING… SO CHEER UP! :D

    GOOD AND BAD ARE WAY OF LIFE…………IF SONAM IS ‘LOOSING’ NOW, THINGS WILL DEFINITELY CHANGE………I AM ALREADY WAITING FOR NEXT YEAR CANNES…………SHE’S SO YOUNG, A YEAR LOST IS JUST EXPERIENCE GAINED FOR HER, UNLIKE HER SENIORS WHERE EVERY NEXT YR IS A STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL (BY HOOK / CROOK/ CAT FIGHTS / POWER SHOW……..ANYTHING). HOW CAN ONE STOP A BREEZE……..CLOSE A WINDOW, IT WILL STILL FIND ITS WAY.

    lol @ 123, i agree..

    anyways don’t believe what aish PRs says… they even denied when she did that loreal whitening cream even though a ad poster appeared from nowhere..

    anyways a advice to aish fans – i think no one should get excited about ones careeer going DOWN!
    be humanzg guyz.. it could be ur career down the line 2moro and people laugh at u..

    it was aish fault and she will suffer for that!! cause itz called KARMA
