From calling out the actor for getting married within two months of a death on the family — that of her aunt and star actor Sridevi — to addressing her as anti-national, these tweets did not hold anything back as the trolls went after the bride. Have a look at the tweets here.
Bringing to light the tweet that Sonam posted after the Kathua rape case, tweeple initiated #shameonsonamkapoor. Some of them even demanded to boycott her wedding while others termed her anti-Hindu.
@sonamakapoor today you are standing in the line of Anti-Nationals. Not sure what you achieved by shaming “Hindustan”. I curse you from bottom of my heart and wish your daughter same spotlight you gave to Kathu girl. #ShameOnSonamKapoor @mrsfunnybones @AnupamPKher Bycot marriage.

The actress was questioned for getting married in a ‘rush’. Reminding her of Sridevi’s death, the trolls asked Sonam why she didn’t wait longer.

The Twitterati did not stop there and went on to accuse her of being a ‘gold digger’. One of the highest paid actresses of Bollywood was called out for allegedly getting married to Anand Ahuja only because he is rich.
FOR WHAT???? Hitched to a rich guy is not talent.
