Netizens react to Shobhaa De's article about Arjun Rampal

Well, netizens are also not happy with what De has written. A netizen commented, "It's finally a much welcome change in this industry. Celebrate India (sic)."

Another Instagram user wrote, "Wow. How does someone saying 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' become problematic to you guys? This is literally nationalism, irrespective of any religious agenda. How does being patriotic to the country one resides in become a point of contention to a select few? This is seriously mind-boggling (sic)."

One more netizen commented, "What do you mean ‘over-exaggerated Hindu nationalist theme’? Since when did being a nationalist become a bad thing? I think your writing is itself exaggerated. Fire your author (sic)." Check out the comments below...
