Internet reacts to Sonakshi's post

Reacting to the post, a fan said, "So it's normal for Sonakshi but not for Deepika?? Both visited the same mosque, and both looked wonderfully amazing with their husbands. Can we stop trolling people and let them live peacefully?" A person wrote, "In a temple or a mosque, it's a spiritual thing to cover the head, whether or not you're a Hindu or a Muslim."

A comment read, "Your dress totally matches the aesthetic." An Instagram user said, "Beautiful." Sonakshi's post comes just days after actor Deepika Padukone was criticised for wearing a hijab while promoting a tourism ad.
