Sonam comes to the defence of brother Harshvardhan

Recently, Harshvardhan Kapoor landed in controversy when he spoke up about “illogical” decisions of organisers of award ceremonies. His sister Sonam Kapoor has now defended him.

Kapoor, who has won trophies for her performance in ‘Neerja’ (2016), is quoted by Deccan Chronicle, “He’s not that kind of a person. Harsh is the sweetest, gentlest, kindest soul I’ve met. And to troll him just because he made a point about the debutant’s award, is just too unfair. He was speaking out of conviction. And according to me, he was not speaking out of line”.

She went on to add, “Just because it didn’t do well, doesn’t mean all the hard work that has gone into it is nullified. Even my debut film, Saawariya, didn’t work at the box office. But I’m very proud of it. And I’m proud of what my brother did in Mirzya”.

Sonam also highlighted that Harshvardhan is a fan of Diljit Dosanjh who he was speaking against somewhat, “Harsh is one of Diljit Paaji’s biggest fans. Harsh’s objection was on technical not on creative grounds. Our father (Anil Kapoor) has always taught us to be appreciative of other actors’ works. We’ve grown up in an atmosphere where we have constantly heard other actors’ work being appreciated. Neither my brother nor I would ever feel resentful of the good work done by our colleagues”.

Harshvardhan will be seen next in ‘Bhavesh Joshi’.
