In
a
Bollywood
industry
where
diplomacy
and
keeping
friendships
intact
are
of
the
utmost
importance,
there
are
a
few
instances
where
celebrities
speak
their
minds
clearly
and
bluntly.
One
such
was
the
case
of
actress
Sonam
Kapoor
and
her
remarks
on
actor
Ranbir
Kapoor
which
stirred
a
buzz
in
the
industry
and
among
fans
a
few
years
ago.
Rakish
Remarks
That
Ruffled
Feathers
Ranbir
Kapoor
is
known
for
his
charming
persona
and
dramatic
flair
in
the
film
industry.
However,
remarks
made
by
Sonam
Kapoor
during
an
episode
of
Koffee
With
Karan
had
sparked
controversy.
She
commented
on
Ranbir's
lack
of
sex
appeal
and
talent,
additionally
making
a
point
that
she
would
like
to
see
him
in
the
industry
for
his
hard
work
and
not
his
persona.
Reactions
From
The
Industry
These
controversial
remarks
didn't
go
down
well
with
many
in
the
industry.
While
some
came
out
in
support
of
Ranbir,
defending
his
acting
prowess,
others
have
questioned
Sonam's
intent
behind
these
remarks.
Back
then,
reports
suggested
that
it
might
be
a
previously
unvented
frustration
or
competitiveness
owing
to
their
past
history
of
working
together.
Ranbir's
Response
To
The
Controversy
Ranbir
Kapoor,
known
for
his
non-confrontational
and
professional
approach
towards
industry
matters,
chose
to
stay
mum
on
the
issue.
However,
reports
suggested
that
he
was
upset
over
the
comments
and
took
it
up
with
Sonam
privately.
Sonam's
Clarification
In
the
wake
of
the
controversy,
Sonam
Kapoor
later
issued
a
public
statement
clarifying
her
remarks.
She
stated
that
her
comments
were
all
in
good
fun
and
not
intended
to
offend
anyone.
She
also
apologized
to
Ranbir
and
his
fans
for
any
misunderstandings
and
pledged
her
utmost
respect
for
him
as
an
actor.
While
the
debate
over
Sonam
Kapoor's
controversial
remarks
on
Ranbir
Kapoor
continued
for
a
long
time,
it
was
clear
that
such
statements
could
cause
quite
a
stir
in
the
industry.
However,
after
this
controversy,
they
were
cordial
with
each
other
and
even
shared
screen
space
in
Rajkumar
Hirani's
Sanju.
