Lok Sabha elections 2019 is taking place in India and almost every Bollywood celebrity is requesting people to cast their vote as it is not only their right but also their duty. One such Bollywood celeb is Alia Bhatt’s mother and actress Soni Razdan who rubbed the social media users the wrong way when she shared photo of a person named Junaid and asked them to remember him while voting as he lost his life because he was a Muslim.
However, this was completely false as the courts had already said that Junaid lost his life due to the fight which took place because of an argument related to seat sharing in train. Even Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel slammed her for spreading fake news.
However later, she again urged voters to cast their vote but the social media users didn’t like it as Soni herself is a British citizen and doesn’t have the right to vote in India. She tweeted,
“Urging people to vote against hate has nothing to do with citizenship and everything to do with being a human being. We are all human beings first and citizens of the world we live in. Secularism and democratic principles are values and it’s those that I stand for. #VoteOutHate”

People trolled her for this tweet and one user said that she has no right to preach as she is a British citizen. The tweet read,
“Get lost British citizen …u have no place in India to preach.”
Soni was in no mood to bear the brunt of trolling and she gave it back to the hater with a strong reply,
“I do actually. My father is Indian. Lived in India since I was 3 months old. Pay taxes. Hold an Overseas Citizen of India card. If my hard earned income is good enough to be used to better this nation then I have a right to voice my opinions too. #VoteOutHate”
