"Prem Ratan Dhan Payo made Rs 220 crores in India and I don't think the critic reviews matter because the audience response I have been getting is pretty positive. I think people loved me in the film."

"There is a crab mentality in India because even when something is immensely successful, people want to write negative about it because it makes for a good copy. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was one of 2015's biggest hit and I am happy with the success and kind of money the film made."

Sonam Kapoor is currently gearing up for Neerja directed by Ram Madhvani, which releases on 19 February 2016.
