Sonam Kapoor is quite open-minded and always speaks her mind out. Often, she has been a victim of harsh trolls but she never takes them negatively. Today, once again fiery tweets started pouring in because Sonam goofed up with the national anthem. Do you think social media users were going to take it lightly?
Well, the actress had written a column for Hindustan Times revolving around the subject “Trolls”, but people just focused on one stanza and circulated it over the internet.
Check out what was written in her column;
“I’m a proud Indian. I love my country but for some of you — and you’re the bigots, not me — I become ‘anti-national’ only because I ask questions or choose to be critical. Listen to the national anthem one more time. Recall the line you heard as kids, ‘Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Issai…’”.
Yes, social media users quickly judged that Sonam Kapoor didn’t know the national anthem. This is because the words Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Issai don’t appear in the anthem; but did they notice that there was a full stop after the national anthem line. This means people have unnecessarily connected both the lines and made an issue out of it.
Here’s the original stanza from Hindustan Times!
The confusion was due to this tweet by HT; in this, there are 2 dots after the line, which shows that the sentence is continued.

We leave it to you to decide what is right; were both these lines separate or were these lines in continuation?
Twitter was filled with insulting tweets for Sonam…
They are part of Raj Kapoor song!

Thanks for the eye-opener!
National Anthem was written by Bollywood. We were naively singing the Tagore version all these years. Thanks Sonam Kapoor for the eye-opener

And one more!
I love the part of our national anthem where it says mitti ki hai jo khushbu tu kaise bhulayega?

Heights of wisdom!
@sonamakapoor wisdom reached zenith. Hindu Muslim Sikh isai becomes national anthem for this converted secular. तेरा क्या होगा रे सोनम 😝
