Priyanka Chopra, Sonakshi Sinha & Sonam Kapoor team up against Twitter trolls

MUMBAI: Bollywood actresses Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Sunny Leone have put up a united front against Twitteratis, who mock female celebrities for their views on socio-political issues.

Earlier this week, Sonam slammed the recent meat ban in Mumbai, calling it misogynistic, which invited the wrath of many Twitter users.

"@sonamakapoor The meat ban is misogynistic? Sounds like a very bad innuendo," a user posted.

Another wrote, "...and with that we have a new Alia Bhatt moment. Actually Alia looks much brighter now -- seriously! Alia has refined." The 30-year-old actress responded to each troll but in vain.
