The entire country went into hyperactive mode when Bollywood singer Kanika Kapoor was tested positive for COCID-19, the disease caused by the novel and deadly Coronavirus. Enraged citizens trolled Kanika for her negligence as she attended a few parties after coming from London and did not go under self-quarantine as was asked by the government. Now, Sonam Kapoor has extended her support to Kanika to defend her. However, her tweet did not go down too well with the netizens who left no time in trolling her.
In Kanika’s defence, Sonam had tweeted, “Hey, guys @TheKanikakapoor came back on the 9th. India was not self isolating but playing Holi." Check out her tweet below:
Twitterati just could not digest Sonam’s tweet and tried to educate her that the government has been issuing warnings and screening arrivals from other countries since January. They even told her that the Government had cancelled Holi Milan progammes and asked citizens to refrain from playing Holi and take necessary precautions amid the coronavirus outbreak. Check out some of the tweets below.
Ma'am the biggest service to nation from u will be: pls don't tweet till we r fighting #COVID. Bas aap itna kar dijiye.
Aren't u aware that @PMOIndia @narendramodi, @HMOIndia @AmitShah & many other leaders & eminent citizens had cancelled Holi milan progs & requested others also

I came on 31 January and I had been in government isolation for 18 days, then on 18 February I went to my house and 14 days in self isolation. Sonam ji, I am not a celebrity but I am not illiterate, I know that this disease is very dangerous. https://t.co/jeAp80i3lA

No Sonam, this ain't it
She has put municipality workers, household help, delivery folk, salon folk, neighbours, cabbies, folk who aren't rich or powerful & doing their job - at risk by throwing parties at home
In two of the most populated cities in India..it's unconscionable

@sonamakapoor See the screenshot? This is what being a good citizen is all about - taking responsibility. She went into a self-quarantine all by herself. Stopped her maid from coming home too. pic.twitter.com/oidaX9taQT

PM @narendramodi had said he's cancelled his holi plans, small little societies cancelled their holi plans, most people DID NOT PLAY HOLI. Stop defending the stupid. #KanikaKaCoronaCrime
— Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj (@DeepikaBhardwaj) March 21, 2020
For your information, none of us among family and friends in India played Holi this year since PM, HM cancelled Holi celebrations.
And none of us were among those who returned from a #Coronavirus affected country.
Please dont falsify and justify mistakes.
— Meghna Girish (@megirish2001) March 21, 2020
Please meet Kanika and convey our best wishes.

Dear, #kanika came from London
Everyone coming from abroad has been told to remain home-quarantined becoz even if one is not having symptoms,they can be carriers & can spread the virus & affect those who are weak & vulnerable
& PM Modi had said no Holi & so I didn’t play Holi

Can't believe Sonam Kapoor defending a woman who might have infected 100+ people because of her stupidity.

Kanika is under treatment in Lucknow and has put a lot of people including high profile politicians under the scanner for COVID-19. Legal cases have been filed against the singer for her negligence and flouting government guidelines and putting others' lives in danger.
