Sonam Kapoor, who already shares cold vibes with writer Shobhaa De, has once again lashed out at her. But this time not directly, Sonam has retweeted on Punit Malhotra's tweet. Writes Sonam Kapoor: "RT @punitdmalhotra: Guys pls don't take Shobha De seriuosly. She's a fossil who's getting no action and going through menopause. So just for her..." Action-reaction It all started with Shobhaa De writing about recently released I Hate Luv Storys in a newspaper labeling it as I Hate Dumb Storys... She also posted the article on her blog page, "What an absolute waste casting Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor in this utterly dull, total dud of a movie which is more a wonky tribute to Karan Johar's earlier films, songs and screen pairings. After a point, all those 'in' jokes and references start bugging the viewer, particularly a replay of his popular songs as background scores and an embarrassingly gauche recreation of iconic scenes , like the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai dialogue between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Come on guys, are you that desperate for original ideas that you have to pack so many reels of a contemporary film with such obvious take-offs? This isn't clever tongue-in-cheek stuff. It's plain unimaginative." While elaborating on the movie, she wrote, "In any case, most movies which try and follow the 'movie-within-a-movie' formula, generally fall flat on their faces. Only filmwallas get the context and laugh at all the insider stuff. The last time such a formula actually worked, was in Rangeela, especially that on screen dig at Sridevi and her 'mummy'. It is a wonder Karan actually approved the script of such an excruciatingly pointless film which, post-interval, suddenly takes off for New Zealand. Why? By then it doesn't really matter. Those guys could be on the moon. By the time the key 'turning point' arrives, that has Imran (Raj), phoning his mummyji (Anju Mahendru in a terrible wig) and howling over the phone, one is ready to shake up this bloke called Punit Malhotra (chief villain) and spank him in public. As for Sonam, the lassie lacks oomph, even if she does have a great smile and can act. Oh€ and Imran should definitely keep his shirt on€ if he doesn't want the audience to lose theirs." To this, director Punit Malhotra tweeted, "Guys pls don't take Shobha De seriously. She's a fossil who's getting no action and going through menopause. So just for her..." And Punit also mentioned: "Ma'am I AM WAITING TO BE 'SPANKED' IN PUBLIC... Ha ha ha..." Background details This is not for the first time that Sonam has lashed out at Shobhaa. In an interview to a newspaper in 2008, Sonam said, "for a 60-something po*n writer, I am sure she (Shobhaa) knows what she's talking about."Shobhaa had earlier commented on Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in her blog referring to Sonam's airbrushed photo-op in which she has posed in lingerie. Shobhaa wrote, "Sonam just doesn't cut it in the sex appeal stakes." |
