Sonam Kapoor calls Indian government 'idiot' for banning **** sites
The Indian government’s decision of clampdown on **** sites has sparked outrage across the country. Bollywood celebrities too have reacted strongly.
Bold and beautiful, Sonam Kapoor lashed out at the Indian government calling it ‘idiot’ for believing banning **** will change the mentality of Indians.
She said she feels “ashamed” and “sick” and is “so over” Narendra Modi’s government:
