Kareena Kapoor Criticized by Netizens for Comment on Sushant Singh Rajput in the Past

Kapanlagi.com - After Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar, now it's Kareena Kapoor's turn to face public backlash in India regarding the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. Kareena is said to have looked down upon the KEDARNATH film star in an interview a few years ago.

As reported by Pinkvilla.com, netizens found Kareena's interview on a talk show with Amrita Arora around 2019. At that time, Kareena was asked to give advice on the love life of her stepdaughter, Sara Ali Khan.

When asked to answer that question, Kareena quickly responded, "Don't date your co-star in your debut film," said Kareena at that time.

Although not mentioning any names, everyone knows that the male lead in Sara's debut film is Sushant Singh Rajput. This comment was widely discussed at that time and is now resurfacing because Sushant committed suicide.

2. Kareena's Expression Controversy

Kareena was criticized by netizens because in the video, her expression was said to look disgusted when mentioning 'Co-star in your debut film'. She was considered to look down on Sushant because he is not from a famous family in Bollywood.

Compared to Sushant, Kareena was said to prefer Sara being close to actor Kartik Aaryan. Sadly, Sara's film with Kartik, which had the support of Kareena, performed poorly in the market.

Kareena's expression then went viral again on social media and was criticized by netizens. Many voiced a boycott of Kareena Kapoor for judging Sushant unfairly.

3. Saif Ali Khan Speaks Out

But Kareena did not respond to the spicy comments flooding her personal Instagram account. She also did not comment on the boycott invitation that is trending on Twitter.

Instead, Saif Ali Khan spoke up. In an interview with the media, Saif requested everyone to refrain from making careless comments that could potentially lead to a blunder.

"There are many people who quickly comment, and in my opinion, some of them just want to gain popularity from this tragedy. You know, there are those who want to show love, interest, or for political status. There are many people who talk nonsense on social media and it is very embarrassing. My respect goes to him, for the tragedy that Sushant experienced. Perhaps a day of silence or introspection would be better than pretending to show love from people who clearly do not genuinely care about him and famous people who do not care about others," said Saif recently.
