In the days following Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, debates about nepotism in Bollywood amplified. Amid outrage on social media, star kids have been on the receiving end of extreme criticism and trolling. While many celebrities deactivated their Twitter accounts, some turned off comments on social media. Sonam Kapoor, on Father’s Day, tweeted about her privilege, saying that it was her karma that decided to whom she was born. This tweet hasn’t gone down well with many, including Hina Khan’s beau Rocky Jaiswal. He slammed her tweet, and said that he expected better from her.
Sonam Kapoor’s tweet read, “Today on Father's Day I'd like to say one more thing, yes I'm my father's daughter and yes I am here because of him and yes I'm privileged. That's not an insult, my father has worked very hard to give me all of this. And it is my karma where I'm born and to whom I'm born. I'm proud. To be his daughter." Many criticized her after her tweet, calling out her casteist attitude, by using the principle of karma to justify her social status.
Rocky Jaiswal hit back and slammed Sonam’s tweet. He wrote, “So, every individual who’s been denied d opportunity they deserved bcoz of #Privileges n #Nepotism deserved it for their ‘Karma’ in thr past life? By that logic, I can’t begin to imagine ur next life @sonamakapoor! Respectfully M’am, I expected better frm U given ur fathers BG.”
