Since June 12, netizens have been hash-tagging #BoycottKareenaKapoorKhan after it was reported that she asked for RS12crore (RM6.7mil) for an acting gig. Apparently, the Bollywood star had asked to double her usual fee if she's to take on the role. “In fact, right now, they are reconsidering their decision and also taking the film to a younger actress as well. This alleged demand has irked netizens who have concluded that the 40-year-old is actually trying to “hurt the Hindu sentiments by putting ‘demands’ to play the role of Sita” reported filmfare.com. Some other netizens have taken to suggesting other actresses such as Yami Gautam and Kangana Ranaut for the role.
