Shahid Kapoor's latest released film, Kabir Singh, has left the internet divided. The ones who have disliked the movie for its innate misogyny. And the ones who have absolutely loved it. We all have come across at least one debate on the internet between the two sects. If you haven't, well, you need to spend time more time on the internet. On second thoughts, you are doing way better than anyone in your life, continue as you were. But the most interesting debate on Kabir Singh that we came across took place between singer Sona Mohapatra and TV actor Nakuul Mehta. Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh BEATS Kaminey, Haider and Batti Gul Meter Chalu to Become His Biggest Solo Opener.
It all started with Nakuul's appreciation tweet for Shahid Kapoor's performance in Kabir Singh, that Sona took note of. She called out Nakuul for looking past the flaws of the film and appreciating it for any aspect. Nakuul agreed with the points that Sona made, but also explained his perspective to her. Well, it did have the potential to be the most dramatic Twitter beef but we are glad it did not go that way.

This is how the very brief Twitter war between Nakuul Mehta and Sona Mohapatra transpired:
Sure we must! Exactly the conversation which ensued post watching the film. It's something I ask myself too having done a fairly popular role which in parts did succumb to the narrative of patriarchy & machismo but eventually redeemed himself.

A dialogue is a must. We must question it, discuss it.
As an artist, must I judje the character I play? Maybe not.
As a thinking individual? Yes.
Can we seperate the performance from the performer?
Tough questions we must ask ourselves, given the times we are in.
