Sonam Kapoor slams BJP Supporters for targeting VDW

Sonam slams Hindu Extremist and BJP's Paid Trolls for targetting VDW and downvoting it on IMDB.Here is an excerpt from her interview

1.I see this discussion among social media trolls. Not regular people, just...

Hindu extremists? I've decided to call them Hindu extremists. (Laughs).

2. Ya, okay, Hindu extremist trolls on SM have reduced Veere Di Wedding to that masturbation scene and one dialogue about masturbation. Why do you think that's happened?

(Pause) Because of insecurity?

3.About what?

Insecurity because we've broken the glass ceiling, we are not showcasing what they think is the abla naari,the correct Hindu woman, the one who needs to be rescued. It's a misogynistic society so it's like when bullies understand they have no real power. You know what I'm saying? Anything that's uninhibited is a show of strength. And certain people don't like that show of strength because you're standing up to the bully in a way.

4. But controversies are double-edged swords.

They will not. I don't think at this point there is that courage. I mean Swara has a lot of courage you know, she is my best friend and I guess I sometimes draw courage from her . I'm a little more passive than she is about certain things, I like to see how things come through. She is more reactive about certain things. It takes a lot of courage. Eventually everyone has to work, take care of their families, and the industry is so competitive.

Like for example about equal pay, everybody is like, why isn't the Me Too campaign happening in India? But how do you do it? Like for example, I lose a lot of work because I insist on the right money. But two other girls will say, "We don't care, we will do it for this much. Then I'm like, oh my god, I'm losing out. It takes a lot of grit and self-belief to say no. You know. Everybody doesn't have that idealism, and for me it's slightly easier because I have a safety net that my sister will make a film for me, or my father is Anil Kapoor, and I now have my money. I don't need to work for a living, I never did, I work because I really want to. You know what I'm saying? Some people don't have that Anna, so how can we judge them?
