Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor is facing heavy backlash on social media for her ‘fake accent’ in a recent viral video. In the clip, Sonam discusses her favourite summer holiday destination, luxury brands, and haircare secrets, but it’s her accent that has caught the attention of netizens. Many users took to Reddit to criticize her, recalling past instances where she was mocked for the same reason.
Some users pointed out her mispronunciation of certain words due to the accent, while others speculated that her speech was affected by alleged lip fillers. One user commented, “She’s doing the opposite of what our Foreign Minister Mr. Jaishankar does—while he’s building international relations, she might just get Indians banned from other countries with that accent.”
Another user remarked, “Lol, she tried to adopt an English accent but couldn’t maintain it beyond the first few sentences.”
Critics also noted the change in her speech, with one saying, “What happened to her? She never used to talk like this. It’s hard to understand her. Maybe it’s the lip fillers making it difficult for her to open her mouth properly.”
Another comment read, “My ears are bleeding from the fake accent. She sounds just like Ranveer when he mimicked her on Koffee with Karan.”
A different user added, “The way she butchered Indian names is shocking. How can we expect others to pronounce our names correctly when our own do it wrong?”
On the professional front, Sonam was last seen in the 2023 crime-thriller ‘Blind,’ a remake of the 2011 Korean film of the same name. Directed by Shome Makhija and produced by Sujoy Ghosh, the film marked Sonam’s return to the screen after a six-year break following ‘The Zoya Factor.’ Up next, she will star in ‘Battle for Bittora,’ an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s novel. Sonam Kapoor made her Bollywood debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Saawariya’.
