The actor in an interview with ANI, mocked Sonam saying some people do it too cool on twitter. He revealed having read Sonam’s reaction to his tweet and then ask the actress what she has done for empowering women. He then went on listing all the things he has done for empowering women in the society for past 10 years. The actor said that he has been working on women empowerment for the past 10 years when Sonam was working on her makeover. He then gave her a piece of advice saying “Aap filmon mein thoda kam overact kare aur social media pe kam over react kare.” (to stop overacting in films and to stop overreacting on social media). Have a look at the video.
