Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

It’s completely understandable to have a close friendship however it seems as though Fawad Khan and Sonam Kapoor are a little to close. He recently visited India again and took a few selfies with her. If I did not know who they were I would have assumed they were a couple. I do know that he loves both his wife and son a lot and I doubt he had any bad intentions. Sorry if I sound offensive, I am in no way trying to be rude!

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

I'm not trying to justify his closeness to any female actress, Indian or otherwise. If there are pics of him standing in close proximity with Mahira or other Pakistani actresses, then what he's doing across the border isn't anything unusual.

I will, however, admit that I am more bothered by Sonam Kapoor than Fawad Khan. I saw these pics yesterday. Seriously, look at the pictures in the links you've posted. He is not leaning into her. SHE is leaning into him.
Again, I am not justifying FK's behavior or decisions...nor am I a die-hard fan of his....but what is he supposed to do? Push her off his shoulder? Scoot away from her each time she stands to close for a picture. Maybe he fears that "snubbing" her would result in her getting revenge and hurting his Bolly career in some way. Again, I'm not defending this view.

I have said many times since the promotion of Khoobsurat and before the release of the movie, that Sonam appears besotted by Fawad. Mesmerized by him. I am not a fan of hers so I don't know if she is just as giggly and attentive and complimentary toward her other male costars. Even her compliments...or rather gushing about his looks...and how he's so admired...I found it cheap. He never complimented her looks, or even her acting in any of the interviews I saw of them. He praised more her energy and certain aspects of her personality....but I did not hear any remarks on her acting skills. So, it's like...why are you gushing so much you fool...when you don't see him doing that with you?

Fawad has a responsibility as well to be mindful of his actions and wife's feelings. But given how snide and catty and jealous the B'wood actresses can get toward each other, I'd like to think that Ms. Sonam herself would not appreciate it if someone like Deepika or Priyanka or Anushka posed "too close" to her future husband or whatever male she's claimed as "her man."

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

Thanks for your views on the matter! Yeah, that is what bothered me the fact that she was leaning on him. I wouldn't have looked much into it if they were sitting that close and she didn't have her head on his shoulder. I never really thought about what would happen if he did scoot her away so that was a very interesting point. She does seem to have a fascination with Fawad Khan especially since the movie and their 'chemistry' was successful.

I guess its fine because its seems as though Fawad Khan and his wife have a strong mutual bond (even after the fans went crazy over the casting between Mahira Khan and Sanam Baloch). Thank you once again for you opinion as it gave me another prespective on Fawad Khan's view on the matter.

Exactly, I do not understand why she found the need to do that to someone else's husband (She probably met his wife and son). Okay, she does it in one picture but she literally goes closer and closer after every picture. I probably would have different views though if he was a single man. There are pictures where Saba Qamar is leaning on Hamza Ali Abbasi but it didn't irk me because he is a single man (it also would not have mattered if the girl leaning on him was not Pakistani).

I think Fawad Khan kind of gave away why they behave a certain way in all their interviews. All of their interviews together are obvs for Khoobsurat... so both of them play the role during the interview as well, subtly... ie) Sonam acts bubbly and flirtatious whereas Fawad is always composed (like their Khoobsurat characters). India has a HUGE media/promotion campaign for sll their movies. The tours/interviews/releases are months and months long... so i don't think she's actually besotted with him, just promoting that role/movie she played in with Fawad.

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

Sonam took a shot at a another actress recently. She does that often it seems. I wish she'd try being more composed for a spell. Who knows? Maybe FK will rub off on her.

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

:diwana:Is his wife as hot as Sonam Kapoor ?

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

It might be a promotion strategy. Maybe off-screen they're trying to show people that, "Look we have such great chemistry and y'alls are gonna see that chemistry in our movie too." Now if Fawad is actually telling people in even a "subtle" way that look its only promotional stratagem....then that's interesting; it could be his way of telling folks (especially those in the more conservative Pakistan, and particularly his wife) that there's nothing "more" to the off-screen physical proximity between Sonam and I. But still women are possessive and I would not be in the least surprised if Sonam felt "unsettled" by an actress leaning into her future husband...even if it was just a business strategy.

I've seen SRK and Kajol get close ...as well as other celebs. I think I've seen Pakistani celebs behaving flirtatiously with each other. And while I like FK, I am not a hard core fan of any celeb...but still I particularly don't get a good vibe from Sonam's body language around him...I find it annoying ...and disturbing...and maybe even a tad bit ick-inducing. Bleurgh

S_Punk, maybe we're onto something. When Salman's sister Arpita got married to that Ayush guy....so many people got an unsettling vibe from him. We could be wrong too.

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

Please… sonam kapoor belongs to the zoo. But then, Fawad Khan is a male bimbo… so all is well.

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

I think they're just friends. No big deal. Besides they just signed another movie together, right? Battle of Bittora?

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

So you would be completely okay if another woman was leaning on your husband like that? You the real MVP lol ;).

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

I think she is pretty :).

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

No, I doubt she'd be okay. Most Desi women would not feel comfortable with it. But I think what she means is that in the entertainment world...the lifestyle and rules are more liberal and lax and as per those lax standards...leaning in too close is not necessarily a sign of romantic interest....that something like this is "not a big deal" but outside the film industry...and looking at it thru the lens of Islam...it ain't kosher.

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

My husband isn’t a movie star :snooty: I’m sure his wife is fine with it

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

^She had to be fine with it. She has to swallow it and have tougher skin...or just not marry him. She knew what she was getting into. But I don't envy her; imagine having to often push such doubts out if your mind about your spouse...especially when hearing/reading gossip.

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

Yeah she really is tough. I remember during the Humsafar days when people wanted Mahira and Fawad to separate from their respected spouses so the both of them could be together…

In the end I just found it weird because the picture was not for a photo shoot but for their personal accounts.

Sonam Kapoor’s & Fawad Khan’s Photo shoot:

I don’t have any issues with these pictures because it was for a magazine and he was working. Maybe they both are still ‘working’ during these personal photos as a way to hype their upcoming movie together?

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

Now that I really think about it I might be having a double standard. If the picture was with SRK and Kajol I probably would have found it adorable and wouldn’t have found it as disrespectful to their respected spouses. I guess when working in any showbiz you just have to be more liberal minded.:confused:

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

SRK and Kajol did a promotional event for the anniversary of DDLJ.. And you’d see SRK with his arm draped around kajol etc etc. I think its cheesy but for some reason it doesn’t bug me as much as Sonam Kapoor and FK. Not quite sure why that is. Maybe its cuz srk and kajol are both married so mentally I think their close proximity seems more platonic and won’t lead to anything. It isn’t because I have a crush on FK cuz it didn’t bother me when he was next to his wife or Mahira etc etc. I don’t think it’s because it 's a Pak-Indian pairing. I think maybe it’s because I just don’t trust Sonam Kappor and the vibes I get from her when she’s near FK. And we’re not the only ones to have doubts. Do a google search on Sonam crushing on FK and you’ll find several websites where people have expressed the same feelings. The funny thing is that nobody has said that FK id smitten by Sonam…it’s the other way around. So, other folks are getting the same weird feelings it seems.

Re: Is Fawad Khan being disrespectful to his wife by being so close to Sonam Kapoor?

Yeah I feel exactly the same way, I think it is because she is really over doing it. I’m glad someone understands how I feel, there is just something off about Sonam Kapoor. I love your posts because I feel the exact same way as you however you can explain it a lot better than I could ever :phati:.
