Social media users reaction to Sonam Kapoor’s invitation at Charles III’s coronation

One of the users quipped, “What did King Charles do to deserve this..” Another mentioned, “I think Sonam should be paying Charles for watching her performance.”

One user asserted, “As a trained Kathak dancer, @sonamakapoor’s performance is abysmal & England should’ve asked someone who is a prolific dancer to perform at the coronation. This is why nepotism is impugned. King Charles & #SonamKapoor are perpetual “nepo babies” who have very little to offer.”

The next one shared, “After watching Sonam Kapoor perform, pretty sure King Charles will wish his ancestors hadn’t colonised India. Fair punishment, I say.” One user added, “Ussey Achcha ranu mondal ko invite kar leta…”

An individual asked, “Bhai ye kohinoor le ayigi kya nikal ke waha se?” And, another user concluded, “Why? Isko india me koi nahi bulata.”
