Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor has issued an apology to Shoba De.
Putting an end to a war of words, Bollywood lead lady Sonam Kapoor has issued a public apology to writer and columnist Shaba De for getting personal with her and criticizing her.
While issuing an apology to Shobha De, Sonam wrote on Twitter, “Mrs. De, I am sorry for getting personal. I am ashamed of my lapse in judgment. Every writer and journalist is entitled to his or her opinion and I respect that.”
The issue came to light when after watching I Hate Luv Storys, Shobha De not only felt that the film was quite ordinary but also criticized Sonam’s performance in the film.
Interestingly, it was not Sonam but the director of the film Punit Malhotra, who made some harsh comments about the journalist. Later, Sonam made a post on social networking site Twitter, where she extended her support to whatever the director said about Shobha De.
This made the writer hit back at not only Sonam but also her father Anil Kapoor saying that it was flaw in Anil’s upbringing, which had not taught Sonam to take criticism gracefully. Criticizing Anil, Shobha said that he needs to learn from Amitabh Bachchan and Rakesh Roshan, who have taught their kids to handle failure and criticism with grace.
This made Anil interfere in the matter and ask his daughter to apologize to Shobha.
Acting on her father’s advise, Sonam has deleted her post regarding Shobha, which she made on Twitter.
Anil and Sonam must be hoping that with the post being deleted and Sonam issuing an apology, the matter with Shobha now stands closed.
