Sonam Kapoor’s ‘Like’ on Post About Deepika’s Walk of Fame Star Sparks Debate

Sonam Kapoor has stirred online buzz after liking a cryptic post suggesting Deepika Padukone’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star was paid for, not earned. The post claimed such stars involve a significant cost, sparking conversation among fans and critics alike. While Deepika’s international presence has grown steadily, the Instagram story in question highlighted how many celebrities, including major Hollywood names, pay a fee to receive the honour. Sonam’s silent engagement with the post didn’t go unnoticed, with social media users calling it subtle shade. Some defended Deepika, citing her global campaigns and acting milestones, while others echoed the sentiment of the post. As speculation grows, neither actress has commented publicly. The incident has reignited discussions around recognition, merit, and quiet rivalries within Bollywood’s elite circle.
