Sonam Kapoor is known to speak her mind in matters of concern! The actress doesn’t mince words when it comes to stating her opinions.
Sonam was recently trolled when she engaged in a twitter exchange of opinions with Abhay Deol, who called her out for endorsing a fairness brand. However,the actress in a recent column took on trolls and stated how she remains unaffected by them.
She wrote, “You might call me a ‘bimbo’, a ‘naachne wali’, but you know what, I’m a terribly self-assured woman. I have a strong sense of self and I don’t need you to tell me who I am.”
Sonam further added, “The trolls can be sexist and judgmental but I know I’m smart and capable of expressing an opinion. I’m a successful woman, a feminist, a humanist, a national award winner and I say this with a great sense of pride and satisfaction: I get to live a fairy tale life every single day. I walk the international stage, I’m an avid reader with a library full of books, I am a consumer of news, an engaged Indian and so very capable of having a discussion on any issue, with anyone. Just because I’m an actor, it doesn’t mean I can’t have an opinion. I’ve spoken up often.”
However, what caught the reader’s attention was when she wrote, “I love my country but for some of you — and you’re the bigots, not me — I become ‘anti-national’ only because I ask questions or choose to be critical. Listen to the national anthem… recall the line you heard as kids, ‘Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Issai…”
She again got trolled for using “Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Issa…” as many thought that she didn’t know the national anthem. However, the actress took to Twitter to shun the trolls in the most epic way!
