People can't get enough of Coldplay's latest single Hymn For The Weekend, whether they're bashing it, or praising it, there is nonstop talk about it on social media. And Sonam Kapoor's 'nanosecond' appearance in the video is no exception.
The Bollywood actor's cameo is for a brief moment, where she is seen running and throwing flower petals in the air. While Sonam Kapoor is over the moon about being featured in the British band's single, others did not share the same enthusiasm.
Sonam Kapoor defends brief appearance in new Coldplay video
Twitter was filled with comments of people poking fun at her short appearance in the music video:

Watched Coldplay's latest video, the ceiling fans in the theater had a longer airtime than Sonam Kapoor.

If you want to know how long a nano second lasts, look out for Sonam in Coldplay's Hymn for the weekend.

You know what? The extras in movies have better roles than Sonam Kapoor has in the Coldplay song. Don't overplay it.

Instead of Coldplay, had Sonam Kapoor been a part of a Linkin Park video the song would have been called 'I've become Sonam...' #sorry

Glad to see Sonam Kapoor having more screentime in Coldplay's 5 minute song than Anil Kapoor's entire role in Mission Impossible.

Hold your horses, people, she still gets VIP access to all of the band's concerts. Who's the sucker now?

While there seems to be no end to the ongoing debate over whether Coldplay's new single is cultural appropriation or cultural appreciation, one thing is for sure, the band is planning another trip to India, and soon!
3/3 Thank you @beyonce & @sonamakapoor for gracing the video with your angelic beauty. My new mission: bring Coldplay back to India asap. PH
