What do we expect to see on the social media accounts of Bollywood celebrities, at least those of the female gender? Apparently, not comments on current affairs. Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha followed in the footsteps of her contemporary Sonam kapoor on Twitter by reacting strongly on the ban of meat consumption in Mumbai for a few days during a Jain fasting festival. And soon after she tweeted about the same, she got trolled.
Twitter is accusing her of double standards because of an older tweet addressed to then-health minister DR. Harsh Vardhan.
Here are the tweets:
This is a free country! Welcome to BAN-istan… I meant india.. Stupid autocorrect.
— Sonakshi Sinha (@sonakshisinha) September 8, 2015
Why no ban on ignorance/negligence? What about the flood affected people of assam? Priorities people. Priorities. — Sonakshi Sinha (@sonakshisinha) September 8, 2015
The trolling began with people sharing screenshots of one of her previous tweets and calling her out for being a hypocrite.
Check out people’s responses to her tweet here:

And soon Twitter was filled with hateful trolls commenting about her weight (obviously) because that’s just the kind of nation we are apparently.
