The implication of the 4-day meat ban has irked many and they have taken to social media (as usual) to express their anger. Amongst these angered people was also our very own Sonam Kapoor. She tweeted:
Our country is going to remain a 3rd world nation because of the intolerant misogynistic close minded few. https://t.co/JcIDEC3gQE

Sadly, the adjectives used by the actress didn’t go down well with the people and she faced some major backlash. At first, she responded to them individually…

@hankypanty it was a critique of the general mentality.. Not just related to the meat ban.. This exact judgmental bullshit fucks us.

@PeppiWomaniYo was talking about the general mentality that is expressed in the article that I posted which is not exclusive to banningmeat — Sonam Kapoor (@sonamakapoor) September 8, 2015
But the backlash on Twitter started to get out of hand and she finally tweeted a clarification to those who didn’t understand her completely.
Before being judgmental assholes. What I said was a critique of the general mentality .. Which is not exclusive to the banning of meat.

And the saddest thing about this whole thing is.. That it’s mostly women who are calling me out on being bimbo. Guess it’s not only the men! — Sonam Kapoor (@sonamakapoor) September 8, 2015
Well, social media can be harsh on just anybody!
