Sonakshi Sinha controversies

During an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 11, the show host Amitabh Bachchan asked the 32-year-old actor a question about Ramayana. Sinha, who shared the hot-seat with Rajasthani artisan Ruma Devi, was not able to answer. She was confused and used a lifeline. The netizens then trolled her brutally for not having the knowledge. Later, Sinha responded after she was being trolled for failing to answer the question. 

Since this incident, netizens have been trolling her. #YoSonakshiSoDumb and #SonakshiSinha were even a few of the top trends on Twitter. Netizens even compared her to Alia Bhatt, who has been slammed for calling politician Prithviraj Chavan as the President of India during a quiz round of Koffee With Karan 4.
