Kanika Kapoor, who announced that she had tested for COVID-19, was at the receiving end of criticism for attending parties after her return from London. As Sonam K Ahuja came out in support of the singer, she too faced a similar situation on social media. As the actor said the Baby Doll artist returned on March 9, when India was playing Holi and not self-isolating, netizens were not pleased.

Some of the other reactions included being ‘disappointed’ with the actor, and how she did not understand ‘simple things.’ Here are the reactions: Hey Sonam , India that was playing holi had not returned from abroad carrying Corona Virus .

The actor added that self-isolation was not mandatory at that time and people too were not aware. The Delhi 6 star asserted that kindness and empathy was the ‘need of the hour.’ As a netizen pointed out how none of the COVID-19 positive persons partied during Holi, Sonam disagreed and said she had read the reports. Some were actually. There were huge parties celebrated. Please look at the media reports. I was at home though. — Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamakapoor) March 21, 2020 When another quipped that she should ‘isolate her account’ too, she urged the person to unfollow her but stop spreading negativity and hate. Unfollow me if you have a problem with my tweets.

Fortunately, Vasundhare Raje and Dushyant Singh, who were a part of one of the parties, tested negative for coronavirus.
