Recently, Sonam Kapoor expressed her views on the Karnataka Hijab row. And her views led to massive trolling. Sonam Kapoor compared a turban with a Hijab and her comment became a topic of discussion.
Taking to social media, she asked if a turban can be a choice then why not a hijab.
Sonam Kapoor’s comment came after Kangana Ranaut’s controversial statement wherein she said that women should show courage by not wearing a burqa in Afghanistan. Ranaut was lashed out at by Shabana Azmi.
Sonam Kapoor took to her Instagram and shared a photo showing a man in a turban and a woman in a hijab. “This can be a choice” is written under the photo of a man wearing turban while the woman in hijab has text that reads, “But this can’t?”.
While some people agreed with Sonam, others lashed out at her for the comparison. Here’s what people on Twitter have to say.
She is speaking sense and people are calling her senseless. These are the people who are senseless. #SonamKapoor https://t.co/Y227jCitbY

Dastar or “Dast-e-Yar” means“the hand of God”. It is not a choice but a blessing of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji & an integral part of Sikhs’ identity. Comparing Dastar & Hijab are unjustified & unwanted in this context @sonamakapoor pic.twitter.com/CZL83TVY3W

Sonam Kapoor @sonamakapoor I am damn sure you know nothing about Turban and hence you arecomparing Orange with Apples. Turban is not a piece of cloth that covers our head, it’s our pride, our honour, our uniform, part of our body. We made innumerable sacrifices for this turban. https://t.co/9TLu9QPG7L

All clothes are not the same. Patriarchy supported by women is still patriarchy.#SonamKapoor #MalalaYousafzai pic.twitter.com/YM08RmfR57

Thank you. I required a reminder that Bollywood and people like Sonam Kapoor are still undiluted trash. https://t.co/yJgEMvujMN

Are Sikhs protesting against Hijab ? No
So why drag Sikhs into this. Why Jagmeet Singh in Canada ?
Choose a Hindu thing in India to make your point like Tilak or something.
The liberals in India are anti-Sikh bast*ds. https://t.co/XEizEQFoy9
Sonam Kapoor been an idiot since day 1! Only got a platform because of her dad and even then she can’t be bothered to use it correctly.
