Sonam Kapoor, First Bollywood Celebrity Who Launched Her Own App

Considered to be a fashion icon for the youth today, Sonam Kapoor is the first Indian celebrity to launch an app on herself and her life in collaboration with Disciple Media. While in Hollywood, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and the Kim Kadarshians have launched similar apps.

Sonam took to social media to make the announcement which began trending on Twitter almost immediately with hashtag #sonamsurprise.

 

Sonam on the occassion of launched said, “One of the most enjoyable things about what I do is getting out there, meeting people and hearing reactions to my work. My App means I’ll now be able to keep in touch and share experiences with fans worldwide, even when I’m busy filming.”

Founder and CEO of Disciple Media, Benji Vaughan, adds, “Sonam is a hugely exciting addition to our growing partner portfolio. India is now the world’s third largest smartphone market, with penetration in the country still only in the 10-15% range. This is an exploding market for mobile, and particularly for Bollywood royalty like Sonam.”

The app will have tabs such as ‘My Tribe’, ‘My Life’ and ‘Sonam Live,’ where the actress will be interacting with fans and answering questions in a live chat along with giving fashion tips to her followers. Sonam’s App is available on iTunes App Store and the Google Play Store. Visit www.sonam-kapoor.net to find out more about this app.
