Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha has recently slammed Bollywood filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri soon after the director shared a picture of her from a set and implied that she was shooting amid the coronavirus.
Sharing a news report carrying a picture of her stepping out of a studio in Mumbai, Vivek wrote, “Who shoots in such times?”

To this, Sonakshi replied, “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!”

She also tagged Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Mumbai Police’s handles and asked their help to stop misinformation. “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,” she wrote.

To this, the filmmaker said that his tweet was not a dig at her but at the publication that first shared her picture. “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,” he wrote.
