Chandigarh, May 8
Actor Sonam Kapoor delivered a spoken word piece about the Commonwealth at the Coronation Concert to celebrate the crowning of King Charles III and Queen Camilla as part of the United Kingdom’s long celebratory weekend.
The 37-year-old actor said: “Each of our countries is unique; each of our peoples special, but we choose to stand as one, learning from our history; blessed by our diversity; driven by our values; and determined to build a more peaceful, sustainable and prosperous future for everyone; where every voice is heard.”
Sonam had started trending online ever since it was known that she would be attending the crowning of King Charles III.
A video of hers of a fashion show in 2019 has gone viral. However, the post shared with the video claims it was a performance from the coronation ceremony.
Mischievously linking an old video of Sonam Kapoor from the 2019 fashion show, a Twitter user wrote: “Britishers tortured us for 200 years.Sonam took that revenge in less than 2 minutes.

The event, which also saw performances by pop stars Katy Perry and Take That, was held at Windsor Castle on Sunday evening.
Dressed in an exquisite Anamika Khanna-Emilia Wickstead ensemble, Sonam began her address with a ‘namaste’.
She then introduced the Commonwealth virtual choir composed of performers from across the 56 Commonwealth countries, alongside the legendary musician Steve Winwood. The group performed a modern version of his song “Higher Love,” accompanied by a 70-piece orchestra.
At the Coronation Concert, Sonam was accompanied by her husband entrepreneur Anand Ahuja and friends Imran Amed and Mansata.
The actor, who will next be seen in the film “Blind”, also took to Instagram to share a series of pictures from the event.
