Sonam Kapoor Has A Sassy Reply To A Troll Accusing Her Of Nepotism

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja is not just a celebrity or fashionista. She has been awarded for her powerhouse performance in ‘Neerja’ and lauded for bringing the travails of the LGBTQ community to the silver screen with her movie ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga‘. Recently, the actress appeared on Arbaaz Khan’s chat show ‘Pinch’ and was asked to reply to a person’s not-so-complimentary tweet about her.

The person in question said, “Ten years in the industry yet you don’t know how to act. Pathetic #nepotism.”

To this, Sonam went on to explain that many a time, people misunderstand the true meaning of the word nepotism. According to her,

“Everybody thinks that it’s a relative of a person. Nepotism actually means to get a job through any connection. I think people have misunderstood it or are using the word for their own benefit, to put other people down.”

She further added,

“He [Anil Kapoor] has worked in the industry for 40 years and he has worked really hard only for his children and if I don’t take advantage of his hard work, which he has done for us, I think that will be a little disrespectful towards his work because every man or a woman, a mother or a father works for their children.”

In the interview, she was also asked to respond to her ‘flop actress’ label to which she declared that ever since she did the movie ‘Raanjhanaa’, she has consciously made an effort to look at scripts. And her chosen films, in turn, have done quite well.

Looks like there will be no end to the nepotism debate in Bollywood with the word being thrown around left, right and centre. What do you think of Sonam’s reply to the troll?
