Sonam Kapoor in hot water for revealing her family links with Pakistan

Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor in her recent interview claimed that she has strong ancestral links with Pakistan. She said she is half Sindhi half Peshawari, which didn’t go down well with the Indians. They have been calling her anti-national.

Replying to all the trolls, she took to her Twitter handle and shut down haters for ‘twisting and misinterpreting’ her statements.

“Guys please calm down and get a life. Twisting, misinterpreting and understanding what you want from what someone has to say isn’t a reflection on the person who says it but on you. So self reflect and see who you are and hopefully get a job,” Sonam said in her tweet.

In the same interview, the actress also reacted on the Indian Government's decision to revoke Article 370 and India's relationship with Pakistan.

While talking to BBC Asian Network, she said, “It’s heartbreaking to see where the situation has landed right now and I’m very patriotic. So I think for me now it’s better to keep quiet and let this pass because even this too shall pass.”

“I am half Sindhi and half Peshawari. It’s heartbreaking to see part of my culture is something that I can’t explore as well because of that. My name is Sonam. I was named after my parents went to Kashmir and were there for a while. They were shooting for Ram Lakhan and they decided to name me from there. I still haven’t been there since because of the unrest,” she further added.
