'Like the freedom, I make my own food, clean my own space...'

In 2021, Sonam appeared on the cover of Vogue India for the July month’s issue. While she became the Internet’s hot topic for her photoshoot for the magazine, netizens trolled her brutally after she spoke about her experience in London.

Speaking to Vogue, she said, "London has made me realise that I’m very Indian. I now realise what being an immigrant actually means. Migrating to a new place is hard. I didn’t understand why Indians abroad were more Indian than Indians in India, and I realised it’s because we hold on to our roots so hard.”

She also talked about missing Bombay (Mumbai), the food, her family, friends and the movie industry. Though she loved living in London, she admitted that her heart remains in India.

Further, describing her daily routine, she said, "I like the freedom here. I make my own food, clean my own space, shop for my own groceries.”

Well, this statement didn't go down well with netizens. They brutally trolled her. Taking a dig at her, many stated that house help/maids and cooks forcibly enter houses in India and don't let the homeowners do the work.
