She stuck to her commitment being the thorough professional that she is and even recorded her performance act till at night.

Reveals a source, "While Sonam's contract clearly mentioned that she would be paying tribute to Rekha as well as presenting her with the Lifetime Achievement Award , the organizers decided to have Deepika Padukone present the award to Rekha at the very last minute. Despite their lack of professionalism and ethics, Sonam maintained her cool. She sat through the show, recorded her performance even though it was nearing midnight and finally left gracefully only after she finished what she had committed to them. Sonam has always been professional, dignified and has a strong sense of responsibility."
