Bollywood celebrities and controversies go hand in hand. For some celebs, who often speak up their mind and use social media to voice their opinions, it can be a tricky and a messy affair, especially when they are called out and put in a perplexing situation to explain something. 

Actress Sonam Kapoor became controversyâs favourite child recently when a journalist dug out an old picture of her father Anil Kapoor hanging out with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim at a cricket match and asked her if it was a part of his âdharmaâ or âkarmaâ that he did it.  

This was the social media userâs response to a previous tweet by Sonam, about how divisive politics fuels hate.

This is something that I never imagined would happen in India. Stop this divisive dangerous politics. It fuels HATE. If you believe yourself to be a Hindu then understand that the religion is about Karma and dharma and this is not either of those. https://t.co/nAZcUX6p7o

The journailist tweeted the picture as a response to this opinion posted by Sonam.

Sonam decided to clear the air and explained that the only connection her father had with the don, was cricket and that Anil was there just to watch a cricket match. 

However, this did not seem to pacify people who only got more enraged on Twitter and some users called her out yet again, saying they were not convinced with this reply.

Achchha matlab wo bollywood actor Dawood ke sath milkar Sattebaji karata tha kya.
