Kareena Kapoor Khan’s comments face criticism
What is the story
Famous Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan has recently come under fire on social media for sharing a quote on luxury: “Luxury isn’t everything.” The quote was originally attributed to veteran Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood and emphasises the value of non-material life over material wealth. However, netizens have accused her of being hypocritical given her own lavish lifestyle.
Kapoor Khan’s post is deemed ‘insensitive’ by netizens
The post shared by Kapoor Khan on Reddit has been criticised as “insensitive” by netizens, who claim it is ironic that someone with Khan’s wealth and privilege would downplay the importance of material possessions. One user commented, “No hate or jealousy but I always find it funny (and insensitive) when super rich people post about how money isn’t everything in life.”
Critics highlighted Kapoor’s lavish lifestyle.
Critics have pointed to Kapoor Khan’s ownership of husband Saif Ali Khan’s Pataudi Palace and her annual trip to Gstaad, Switzerland, as evidence of her lavish lifestyle. “So ironic – this woman owns the Pataudi Palace and goes to Gstaad every year. She’s mostly broke, and yet,” one user wrote. Another added, “So ironic that someone would spend New Year’s in Switzerland, buy the latest Hermes bag and then say ‘luxury isn’t the most important thing’.”
Netizens question the authenticity of Kapoor Khan’s message
Some netizens have questioned the sincerity of Kapoor Khan’s message given her penchant for designer clothes and luxury accessories. “If she wasn’t always dressed in head-to-toe designer clothes, I’d believe it,” commented one user. Another painted a vivid image: “Don’t expect luxury. I see Kareena Kapoor Khan lounging at Pataudi Palace sipping expensive Dom Perignon, munching on the finest caviar, carrying her iPhone in an Hermes bag.”
Meanwhile, she will soon be starring in the film Buckingham Murders.
Despite the online controversy, Kapoor Khan remains focused on her work. She will be seen in Hansal Mehta’s upcoming film Buckingham Murder, in which she plays Jasmeet Bhamra, a detective who deals with the loss of her own child while investigating the murder of a 10-year-old girl. The film, which also stars Ash Tandon, Ranveer Brar and Keith Allen, is scheduled to hit theatres on September 13.
