As the whole country is under lockdown, Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha is currently spending her time with her family, like all of us. However, recently, a picture of her went viral on social media where she can be seen on a set. and the actress is getting trolled for the same.
Bollywood director Vivek Agnihotri also took to his twitter and took a dig at the actress for shooting at such time.
Now in order to clear the air, Sonakshi Sinha took to her social media and shared a picture of her in the same outfit. She clarified that the picture was taken last year when she shot for Farah Khan’s chat show, Backbenchers. In her Tweet, she slammed the director for having no knowledge about what’s happening in the Bollywood industry. She wrote:
“Being a Director and member of many unions and film bodies one would expect you to be better informed that Absolutely NO one is shooting since studios are shut and its a national lockdown! I believe Classic freeze frame means throwback in @MumbaiMirror terms, clearly meaning its an old picture, from 5th Nov 2019 to be precise! Aaah… those were the days!”

In another tweet, Sonakshi tagged Mumbai Police and office of Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray’s Twitter handles and sought help from them. In her tweet, Sonakshi asked how she could stop people from spreading baseless rumours about her. She wrote:
“Excuse me @MumbaiPolice, @OfficeofUT what is the procedure to stop people from spreading rumors and fake news at a time like this? Asking for a responsible citizen, sitting at home, practicing social distancing and NOT shooting – ME,”

Vivek Agnihotri was quick to notice the tweet and come up with a reply stating that he took a dig at Mumbai Mirror and not her. He wrote:
“The dig is at @MumbaiMirror not you. If I have to say something to you, I’d tag you. It’s very insensitive to print such pictures in a trying time like this giving wrong impression. As a star you should also very strongly condemn this kind of yellow and insensitive journalism.”

Vivek then tried to troll the actress but Sonakshi had already hit the last nail in the coffin. In his reply, Vivek wrote how she should ask her PR team to instruct Mumbai Mirror to not publish her pictures at this time. He wrote:
“Procedure is simple dear @sonakshisinha ask your PR company to instruct @MumbaiMirror not to publish your photo in their main page. Simple. And @MumbaiPolice is busy saving lives, don’t over burden them with inane requests. Simple.”
