Soni Razdan Trolled for Peace Appeal Post
Actress and filmmaker Soni Razdan recently took to social media to share a post appealing for peace between India and Pakistan. Her message, intended to highlight the horrors of war and the need for dialogue, quickly sparked controversy online. Many social media users accused her of ignoring the context of ongoing conflict and targeting the wrong side.
Alia Bhatt’s British Citizenship Sparks Debate Again
Amid the backlash, questions resurfaced about her daughter Alia Bhatt’s citizenship. Although born in India, Alia holds British citizenship due to her mother’s British origins. Some users criticized the Bhatt family for enjoying the privileges of Indian stardom while maintaining foreign citizenship.
User Accuses Razdan of Ignoring Ground Reality
One user commented, “While peace is an ideal goal, it’s important to recognize who is escalating the conflict. Our soldiers conduct precise operations, while the other side openly attacks civilians. Calling for peace without context, especially when your daughter enjoys all benefits in India as a foreign citizen, raises concerns about honesty and accountability.”
Soni Razdan Responds with Clarity
In a strong response, Soni Razdan clarified that her appeal was directed at Pakistan, not India. “After all, they are the aggressors. We are merely responding, and rightly so,” she wrote. She also explained that her post was a general statement against war, not an attack on India’s stance. “War is a terrible thing. Anyone who has experienced it wouldn’t wish it upon anyone else,” she added.
Criticism Over ‘Raazi’ Role Resurfaces
Another user questioned her involvement in the patriotic film Raazi, which starred Alia Bhatt as an Indian spy in Pakistan. The user expressed disbelief that Soni could advocate peace after working on such a film. To this, Soni replied, “I simply want peace. People are jumping to conclusions without understanding the message. Peace must be between two countries—unless you believe Pakistan is at war with itself?”
Conclusion: Razdan Stands Firm Amid Trolls
Despite removing her original post, Soni Razdan has stood firm in her views. She reiterated that her intention was to promote dialogue and peace, not to undermine national efforts. The controversy, however, has once again brought attention to celebrity privilege, national loyalty, and the sensitivity of public statements during times of conflict.
