Sonam Kapoor Slams People For Bursting Crackers During #9pm9mins Call; Netizens Hit Back With Her Old Diwali Pictures

PM Modi urged the citizens of our country to light up diyas and candles to showcase unity and solidarity in the battle against COVID-19, on 5^th April at 9pm for 9 minutes. While many turned off the lights in their house and stepped out in balconies or roofs with diyas in their hands, some decided to ‘celebrate’ this occasion and burst firecrackers. Sonam Kapoor, who is currently residing in her Delhi home with husband Anand Ahuja and her in-laws, took to her social media handle to express disappointment at this and wrote: “dogs are freaking out. Do people think it’s Diwali?”

Unfortunately, this did not go down well with netizens who trolled her with memes. They even shared old Diwali pictures of Sonam from 2016 calling her a hypocrite. While one user wrote: “When are u not confused, Its normal for u to be confused”, another shared pictures of Sonam in front of the Kapoor mansion during Diwali and said, “You look happy Sonam.” Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit also replied to the tweet and wrote: “Sonam ji crackers are burst during celebrations & not only in Diwali?People are trying to be happy in these difficult times.”

Take a look:

Not just Sonam, but even Taapsee Pannu and Richa Chadha condemned the burning of firecrackers during the 9pm 9 minute call.
