Sonam Kapoor to drink Cola for Rs 3 crore

Sonam Kapoor seems to be flying high these days. The stunner, who has garnered much applause for her stylish act in her latest outing ‘Aisha’, has become a favourite of top brands.

Already endorsing top skin care products, Sonam has now been approached to endorse a soft drink. And if sources are to be believed, then the stunner will be bagging an astounding sum of Rs 3 crore to feature in a cola commercial.

Even though Sonam has accepted the offer, she hasn’t signed on the dotted line. However, although the name of the brand has not been confirmed officially, grapevine has it that it’s none other than soft-drink giant Coca-Cola, that’s got Sonam on board. Before Sonam, the brand had signed stars like Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, at a time when both were relatively new in the industry.

As of now, it’s Imran Khan and Kalki Koechlin, who endorse the brand. However, we are sure Sonam will make a place for herself.
