Mumbai: Shobhaa De did not like Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor's recent release and she made sure that she spoke her heart out.
This, however, did not go down too well with the film-maker Punit Malhotra who on Twitter posted remarks saying the acclaimed author wasn't getting too much action and because of this she was venting out her angst on his movie, reports DNA.
This tirade against Shobhaa also saw Sonam get drawn into it as she was evidently upset that Shobhaa was ripping apart a film that has given her the biggest box office success to date.
What followed were a series of remarks and counter remarks. But the latest twist to the tale is that Sonam has publicly apologised to the author.
“Mrs De I owe you an apology for getting personal. I'm ashamed for my momentary lapse in judgement. And apologetic. Every writer and journalist and audience is entitled to their opinion and I respect that,” she wrote on Twitter.
Sources close to the actor reveals, “It takes guts to apologise on a public platform and Sonam has been getting a lot of adulation for her act. It was all heat of the moment. Sonam didn't mean to get personal with Shobhaa. She is someone who loves language and literature and she holds Shobhaa in high esteem. Moreover, Shobhaa is older to her and she feels she hasn't been respectful towards her. She wants to undo the bad blood that this fiasco has already caused. Thus, the apology. This matter will be put to rest now for sure.”
