It's been a couple of days since actress Sonam Kapoor was trolled for her tweet about the meat ban in Mumbai and, after spending a few hours defending herself, announced that she would be sticking to tweeting about subjects in her area of expertise - fashion and brands.
Well I guess it's back to talking about fashion and brands.. Lol

The tweet she was trolled for was one in which she appeared to equate the meat ban with misogyny. A second tweet, couched in very strong language, explained that she had used the word to describe a general mindset but Twitter isn't that easily pacified.

And So Now
What has Sonam been tweeting about since? Here's a quick round up.

Sonam briefly interrupted herself to retweet her sister Rhea's defence of her:
That moment when you make a statement talking about a general narrow mindedness that leads to specific stupidity and you're met w/the same

No fashion yet but it's only been two days. It might not, however, prove to be the safe choice that Sonam appears to think it is because the Internet doesn't always agree that the 30-year-old actress picked the right outfit to wear. Remember the feathery yellow dress she wore on her last day at Cannes this year? It was shredded on Twitter which compared it to Big Bird from Sesame Street, a hay stack and even Sonam's famously hirsute father Anil Kapoor.

Sonam was unfazed by her critics, insisting that she'd loved wearing the dress.
We know that Sonam believes:
In the past, Sonam has refused to be silenced:
On the work front, Sonam is busy wrapping up Prem Ratan Dhan Payo opposite Salman Khan. The film also co-stars Swara Bhaskar, Anupam Kher and Neil Nitin Mukesh. Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, it will release this Diwali.
Other than that, Sonam has Battle For Bittora and the Neerja Bhanot biopic in the offing.
