Sonam Kapoor’s Cryptic Note: “Small Minds Discuss People” – The Aftermath of Rana Daggubati’s Apology and the Controversial “Hindi Heroine” Statement Revealed
Actress Sonam Kapoor seems to have responded to the ongoing controversy sparked by recent comments made by actor-producer Rana Daggubati. While not explicitly referring to the events of the past few days, she shared a quote by former US First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Posting the quote on her Instagram stories, Sonam conveyed, “Here’s something I’d like certain individuals to consider, especially when discussing fabricated matters about people.”The quote itself reads: “Small minds discuss people; average minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas.” These words by Eleanor Roosevelt hold great significance in the context of the controversy that has been swirling around in the media.
To understand the origins of this controversy, we need to look at Rana Daggubati’s comments. He recounted an incident involving his friend, actor Dulquer Salmaan, enduring unprofessional behavior on the sets of an unnamed movie alongside a “prominent Hindi cinema heroine.” Although Rana didn’t mention the heroine’s name, online speculations swiftly ASSUMED he was referring to Sonam Kapoor. It is worth noting that Dulquer Salmaan and Sonam Kapoor had previously worked together in the film The Zoya Factor, which unfortunately didn’t fare well at the box office.
