Sonu Sood has spoken, and it¡¯s a masterclass in grace and wisdom. Amid the never-ending chatter about Ibrahim Ali Khan¡¯s much-anticipated Bollywood debut, Nadaaniyan, the actor has dropped a major truth bomb: newbies in the industry deserve kindness, not cutthroat criticism. And honestly? He¡¯s got a point.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Sood delivered a heartfelt plea, urging audiences to cut debutants some slack. Without directly naming names, his message seemed like a subtle nod to the online bashing Nadaaniyan has been facing. He reminded everyone that no one enters the industry as a pro¡ªeven your favorite superstars had their awkward first films.
¡°Every beginner deserves encouragement. We learn with experience, and only a few get a second chance,¡± Sood reportedly shared in his post. He further pointed out that a film¡¯s success or failure isn¡¯t just on the shoulders of the freshers¡ªit¡¯s a team effort, from technicians to directors to co-stars.
Social media, being its chaotic self, has been on fire since Nadaaniyan¡¯s teaser dropped, with netizens coming in hot with their opinions. While some are curious to see Ibrahim and Khushi¡¯s performances, others have been merciless, labeling it yet another case of nepotism gone wild. But Sonu Sood¡¯s words have struck a chord with many who believe in constructive criticism over mindless trolling.
Fans were quick to back him up. One user pointed out that every expert was once a beginner, adding that nurturing talent should be the priority instead of tearing it down. Another agreed, stating that positivity and support go a long way in shaping future stars.
The backlash surrounding Nadaaniyan is nothing new¡ªBollywood debuts, especially those of star kids, always come under intense scrutiny. But Sonu¡¯s voice stands as a reminder that patience and encouragement can turn a rough start into something spectacular. Whether audiences take his advice remains to be seen, but one thing¡¯s for sure: kindness never goes out of style.
