However, the focus of the online chatter quickly shifted from what she said to how she said it, with many netizens honing in on her accent.This unexpected detail ignited a flurry of criticism and trolling from the online community.
The video, which surfaced on Reddit, quickly became a topic of discussion among users who couldn’t help but recall the numerous times Sonam has been criticized for her “fake accent” in the past. While some users pointed out that the actress seemed to struggle with pronunciation due to the accent, others speculated that her speech issues might be attributed to cosmetic procedures, such as lip fillers.
One Reddit user humorously commented, “She is doing the same job as our hon. foreign minister Mr Jaishankar, but in a reverse way. Mr. Jaishankar is making friends all around the world while she is on the verge of banning Indians in other countries by using such rubbish accent.”
Here are a few other comments:
“Lol she tried to put on an English accent but couldn’t hold onto it for longer than the first few sentences.”
“What happened to her, she never talked like that before, you can hardly understand her. I feel, she got lip-fillers and can’t open properly her mouth?”
“My ear bleeding from Fake accent Any way her voice here is exactly like Ranveer when he imitate her in kwk 😂”
“The way she butchered Indian names omg. What can we expect from others when our own pronounce our names incorrectly.”
