The news report shared by Sonam on her Instagram Stories states, “India has said that it is “deeply concerned” that despite its repeated urgings to both Russia and Ukraine, the safe corridor for Indian students stranded in the eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy did not materialise. Over 700 Indian students in Sumy are still waiting to be evacuated.”

Responding to it, Sonam wrote, “Indians are facing racism from both sides of the fight. It’s disgusting the way coloured people have been treated. At least that’s what the stories coming out in the news are reiterating.”

Sonam was most recently seen in the 2019 movie, The Zoya Factor, an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s 2008 novel by the same name.
