Sonam Kapoor’s Statement About Anand Ahuja Being Educated a Sly Dig at Ex-Boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor?

Sonam Kapoor is loved for her candid confessions and bold statements. So when the Veere Di Wedding actress doled out an interview to Anaita Shroff Adajania, the actress was a loose cannon shooting straight from her mouth. Sonam revealed how her family took a liking to her then boyfriend Anand Ahuja immediately. Daddy Anil Kapoor made an exception and unlike Sonam’s earlier boyfriends, Anand got thumbs up from the jhakas actor. Sister Rhea Kapoor felt that unlike in her earlier relationships where Sonam became quite “unlikeable”, things didn’t change when the Prem Ratan Dhan Payo actress was courting Anand. Harshvardhan we hear was bribed with sneakers by her beau. And then Mrs Ahuja talked about how mommy Sunita Kapoor was thrilled to have an educated son-in-law.

While this statement of Sonam is not really offensive in any manner, one cannot ignore the fact that the actress was once rumoured to have dated Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir and Sonam debuted in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariyaa, a film that tanked when it clashed with Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om, which launched newcomer Deepika Padukone at the time. For those of you who do not know, Ranbir did not pursue studies after he cleared his tenth grade. It was also rumoured how Sonam and Ranbir’s relationship that bloomed on the sets of their first film went through a sour phase. We wonder if Sonam’s this statement is a jibe at her alleged ex.

Interestingly, Sonam who has been extremely guarded about her personal life in her recent interview confessed to dating an actor. She also opened up about a boyfriend who was dumped because he fat-shamed her. Not so long ago when the actress was on Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan, the actress made headlines for ranting about Ranbir with his other ex-girlfriend Deepika. While the Tamasha actress asked her ex to work on his boyfriend skills and endorse condoms, Sonam chimed along. Both the beauties also took a potshot at Ranbir’s then ladylove Katrina Kaif by calling her a senior. Sonam had even said, “I think Ranbir is a great friend, but honestly Id on’t know if he’s a good boyfriend. He’s a really really nice guy, he’s got great family values and he loves his mom and his parents. He’s really respectful. I’ve known Ranbir all my life and as a boyfriend I don’t know... She (Deepika) did a good job hanging on to him for so long.”

That was a loooooong time ago. Of course Ranbir Kapoor made a smashing entry at Sonam and Anand's wedding reception in Mumbai with Alia Bhatt and made his relationship official. The actor however exited the do a little earlier than other celebrities and we wonder if that had anything to do with Sonam or then his father Rishi Kapoor's big fight with Salman Khan and family. Well, do you think that Sonam took a dig at Ranbir Kapoor’s educational qualification with her latest comment?
