Chonam kapul Hypocracy

[jefferson1]

Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor has always been vocal about her opinions and thoughts. The 34-year-old actress has always stood by the masses and the issues concerning them. However, Sonam got landed in controversy as she got into a nasty fight with an influencer page - Diet Prada on Instagram. 

The Zoya Factor actress was called out for her hypocrisy and her opinion on sociological issues that exist in the Indian society. The page shared a post calling out celebrities at the MDL Beasts Electronic Music Festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The event aimed at promoting Saudi Arabia as a tourist destination through the region's biggest musical event. Diet Prada’s post called out the attendees promoting this event just for "cashing big fat cheques". 

A part of the post read, "What’s worse than an all-white @revolve influencer trip? Cashing big fat checks in exchange for #content creation (aka propaganda) to rehabilitate the image of Saudi Arabia, a country said to be causing “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis”, according to the United Nations. According to anonymous sources, six-figure sums were offered for attendance and geo-tagged posts." 

Sonam shared the post on her Instagram story and wrote: "Let's agree to disagree, let's appreciate that the whole world is a shithole right now and any positive step forward is something that I want to celebrate. I was treated with immense respect and love as a Hindu brown female actor."

Diet Prada replied to Sonam’s comment and said: "Typical tone-deaf response by celebrities who receive preferential treatment." Later, Sonam was tagged in several posts claiming that people were not treated well at the fest by the influencer page.
