'The irony!': Netizens slam Kareena for 'luxury isn't everything' quote
Kareena Kapoor Khan, a prominent Bollywood actor, has recently faced massive criticism on social media for sharing a quote about luxury, which said, "Luxury is not everything." The quote, originally by Hollywood veteran Clint Eastwood, emphasizes the value of non-materialistic aspects of life over material wealth. However, netizens have called out the actor for her perceived hypocrisy, given her own affluent lifestyle.
Kapoor Khan's post deemed 'tone-deaf' by netizens
Kapoor Khan's post shared on Reddit has drawn significant backlash from netizens who have labeled it "tone-deaf." They argue that it is ironic for someone of her wealth and privilege to downplay the importance of materialistic possessions. A user commented, "No hate or jealousy here but I always find it funny (and tone-deaf) when people who are uber-rich post about how money is not everything in life."
Critics highlighted Kapoor's lavish lifestyle
Critics have pointed out Kapoor Khan's ownership of spouse Saif Ali Khan's Pataudi Palace and her annual trips to Gstaad, Switzerland, as evidence of her luxurious lifestyle. "The irony. This woman has Pataudi palace and goes to Gstaad every year. Albeit they are mostly bankrupt but still," wrote one user. Another added, "Someone who spends her new years in Switzerland and buys the latest Hermes bag talking about how 'luxury isn't the most important thing' is very ironic."
Netizens questioned authenticity of Kapoor Khan's message
Some netizens have questioned the sincerity of Kapoor Khan's message, given her penchant for designer clothing and high-end accessories. "I would believe it if she wasn't dressed in head-to-toe designer wear all the time," one user remarked. Another user painted a vivid picture, writing, "Don't Look for Luxury - Kareena Kapoor Khan while sipping some expensive Dom Perignon, snacking on the finest caviars, putting her iPhone in her Hermes bag, chilling in Pataudi Palace."
Meanwhile, she will star in upcoming film 'The Buckingham Murders'
Despite the online controversy, Kapoor Khan continues to focus on her professional commitments. She is set to appear in Hansal Mehta's forthcoming film, The Buckingham Murders, where she portrays Jasmeet Bhamra, a detective dealing with her own child's loss while investigating a 10-year-old's murder. The film, which also features Ash Tandon, Ranveer Brar, and Keith Allen, is slated to hit theaters on September 13.
