Recently in a leading newspaper Sonam Kapoor’s column Let’s Talk About Trolls was published and it has caught the eyes of many people. If you are thinking that it has become viral because of her writing on internet trolls, then you are wrong. Sonam is getting trolled for not knowing India’s national anthem well.

Lets see what she mentioned in the column. She starts saying, “The trolls can be sexist and judgmental but I know I’m smart and capable of expressing an opinion. I’m a successful woman, a feminist, a humanist, a national award winner and I say this with a great sense of pride and satisfaction: I get to live a fairy tale life every single day. I walk the international stage, I’m an avid reader with a library full of books, I am a consumer of news, an engaged Indian and so very capable of having a discussion on any issue, with anyone. Just because I’m an actor, it doesn’t mean I can’t have an opinion. I’ve spoken up often.”
Then Sonam writes about the National Anthem where she had made the goof up. She said, “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…”
This stanza of the article became viral all over the internet and people started making fun of the National Award winning actress. They targeted the Neerja star saying that she had learned a new version of National Anthem. She became the top trending celebs on Twitter.
Below are the reactions of people on twitter.

While there were users who supported Sonam saying that in the second stanza those words were there.
Sonam thanked one user retweeting, “Thank you so much twitter for the amazing response to my article and also to the #trolls who proved my point by the way they responded.”
