1. Sonam Takes On Deepika’s #MyChoice Video, Then Says She Was Misquoted
Actresses Sonakshi Sinha and Kangana Ranaut have over the last week come out and aired their difference of opinion on Deepika’s viral #MyChoice video. Now Sonam Kapoor too has voiced her opinion and criticized the Vogue video in an interview to Mumbai Mirror by saying:
Elitist women have always had wrong ideas about feminism. They think male-bashing... hating men... makes you a true feminist. I don’t have to make a video to voice my opinions. My actions have always spoken louder than my words. I’m proud to be a woman and I respect my independence. I’m never afraid to give my opinion on any matter. That’s what feminism is about.
– Sonam Kapoor
Sonam was also quick to later tweet that she had been ‘quoted out of context’. Read all about it in this report on Indiatimes.com.
