Weight gain

She encouraged other women by saying that it's okay to be a mess. Sonam said, ‘A lot of girls tend to be like, 'Listen, if I am such a mess, how am I ever going to succeed in life?' But I want to say, it's okay to be a mess.’
She further stated that in India there is a lot of pressure, be it about marriage, education, skin, short hair, or drinking.
Homosexuality

Sonam further added that people need to understand that one's sexuality is something one is born with, be it a man or a woman, it's on that person to be a woman or a man.
