“Maybe see what the question was! It was to her scene in the film and why her character was trolled!” she said.
A day earlier Sonam was asked about the trolls Swara Bhaskar encountered on social media for her character in a recently released movie, ‘Veere Di Wedding’.
Sonam Kapoor Ahuja said, “I think people just like to troll her because she has an opinion and a point of view and I guess that shows how much they love her because the other side of hate is always love. So Swara, you have a lot of lovers.”

Swara said “They’re a non-secular state. I’m not surprised at all. Why should we hold up Pakistan, which is a failing state — I don’t understand why we keep taking pleasure and feeling a sense of self-worth from all the silly things that happen in Pakistan. Apologies to all my Pakistani friends right now… Rest assured, Pakistanis have way worse vocabulary than we do. I know.”
