Fresh buzz has taken over the entertainment circuit, and at the centre of it all is Salman Khan’s ‘Sonam, it’s done bro’ post ‘cringe’, Bollywood irrelevant: Shobhaa De. Let us break down what this means for fans and the industry.
Author and columnist Shobhaa De has launched a scathing critique of Salman Khan's recent cryptic social media post that simply read "Sonam, it's done bro," calling it "cringe" and declaring that Bollywood has become "irrelevant" with such social media antics from its biggest stars.
"This is what Bollywood has been reduced to? Cryptic registers and vague statements from its biggest stars that nobody understands?" De wrote in her column. "The entertainment world that once gave us 'Pakeezah', 'Sholay', and 'Mughal-e-Azam' is now making headlines for social media registers that wouldn't pass muster in a high school gossip column."
The veteran columnist further took aim at the current generation of Bollywood stars for lacking gravitas. "We need substance, not social media gimmicks. We need movie industry that makes us think, not registers that make us cringe. Where are the actors who could command the screen without needing to trend on Twitter?"
Salman Khan's admirers have fiercely defended the actor online, accusing Shobhaa De of being out of touch with modern celebrity culture. "She doesn't understand how celebrities engage with admirers today," wrote one fan. The original post by Salman Khan has remained unexplained, with neither the actor nor Sonam Kapoor clarifying its meaning.
The incident has sparked a larger debate about Bollywood's relationship with social media and whether the entertainment world has lost its cultural relevance. movie critics have weighed in, with some agreeing that Bollywood's obsession with social media metrics has diluted its artistic ambitions.
