Amid growing tensions between India and Pakistan, Twitter slammed Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor and Avantika Malik Khan, wife of actor Imran Khan, for sharing a post which appeared on a Facebook parody page, Humans of Hindutva. The post that has been widely shared talks of supporting peace, and stopping hatred in the wake of rising Indo-Pak tensions. However, many Twitter users were quick to hit out at Sonam and Avantika, calling them 'anti-Hindu' and talking of 'Hindu fundamentalists'. Some even slammed Sonam for making the recent tension look like a Hindu-Muslim issue.

The post reads as follows:
The average Indian has more in common with the average Pakistani than he does with a Hindu fundamentalist who wants to bomb in the name of Ram and lynch minorities and rally in support of child rapists.
The average Pakistani has more in common with an average Indian than he does with an Islamic fundamentalist who wants to bomb others in the name of Allah and oppress women and put guns in the hands of children.
Ordinary citizens everywhere just want to have a normal life and go to work and raise their children well and save up for a decent home.
Hindu and Islamic fundamentalists both have loads in common. Their minds are poisoned by hate and they both lack empathy for the other side. They both want war and do not care for its consequences. The cost of this extraordinary hatred of fundamentalists in both countries is eventually going to be paid by the ordinary citizens of both countries and the soldiers who are always first in line of a fire they did not ignite."
Some of the reactions on social media:
Sonam kapoor just compared Hinduism with Islam. Just ask this dumb fcuk what was the religion of the terrorists who hijacked the plane in which neerja bhanot was the air hostess .
