Oops! Sonam Kapoor deletes tweets to Abhay Deol after being trolled

Sonam Kapoor

Bollywood actor-producer Abhay Deol slammed fairness cream advertisements, featuring stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and several other celebs in 'reference to a comment made by a politician on TV'.

Though he didn't name the politician, he may have been taking a swipe at BJP MP Tarun Vijay, who told Al Jazeera last week, "If we were racist, why would we have all the entire south... why do we live with them if we are racist? We have black people around us."

Following the remarks, Abhay Deol posted a series of fairness cream campaigns on Facebook on Wednesday and criticised Bollywood stars, including his 'Aisha' and 'Raanjhanaa' co-star Sonam Kapoor, for endorsing the products.

In response to Abhay Deol's post, Sonam Kapoor dragged his cousin Esha Deol into the controversy by pointing out that she, too, has advertised fairness creams.

Sonam Kapoor, however, was trolled for her replies and the actress deleted her tweets after the social media outrage.
