Harshvardhan Kapoor’s recent run-in with Diljit Dosanjh and a media group for giving him the award for the best debutant has hurt his star-sister Sonam Kapoor.

“It was very unfair to troll my brother for saying what he felt to be right,” Sonam Kapoor defends Harshvardhan

“He’s not that kind of a person. Harsh is the sweetest, gentlest, kindest soul I’ve met. And to troll him just because he made a point about the debutant’s award is just too unfair. He was speaking out of conviction. And according to me, he was not speaking out of line,” says the protective and proud sister, who feels Harsh was ‘awesome’ in his debut film Mirzya.

“Just because it didn’t work doesn’t mean all the hard work that has gone into it is nullified,” asserts Sonam. “Even my debut film Saawariya didn’t work at the box-office. But I’m very proud of it. And I’m proud of what my brother did in Mirzya.”

Regarding Harsh’s objection to Diljit Dosanjh’s debut award Sonam avers, “Harsh is one of Diljit Paaji’s biggest fans. Harsh’s objection was on technical not creative grounds. Our father (Anil Kapoor) has always taught us to be appreciative of other actor’s works. We’ve grown up in an atmosphere where we have constantly heard other actors’ work being appreciated. Neither my brother nor I would ever feel resentful of the good work done by our colleagues.”
