Twinkle Khanna slammed rumours accusing Kareena Kapoor of being intoxicated during Saif Ali Khan’s recent attack, calling out society’s tendency to blame wives in crises. Mumbai: Twinkle Khanna has never shied away from addressing societal stereotypes, and this time, she is taking on the blame game directed at wives. Reacting to rumours that Kareena Kapoor was intoxicated and unavailable when her husband Saif Ali Khan was attacked, Twinkle penned a scathing response, calling out the tendency to vilify women, especially wives, in moments of crisis.
Taking a sarcastic yet thought-provoking tone, Twinkle wrote, “This Sunday is all about why biwis (wives) are clearly not considered number one, except when it comes to taking the blame. After an actor was stabbed, ridiculous rumours swirled that his wife hadn’t been at home or was too intoxicated to help during the assault. People just enjoyed shifting the blame onto the wife—an all-too-familiar pattern.
” She then pointed out how this phenomenon isn’t restricted to Bollywood but extends to all aspects of life, “When the Beatles split, people blamed Yoko Ono. Melania Trump is often criticised for her silence or limited opposition to her husband’s policies. Jill Biden has been accused of pushing Joe to continue his campaign.
Even when Virat Kohli gets out, people boo Anushka Sharma. It’s a widespread issue, not limited to couples in the public eye.” Twinkle humorously elaborated on how wives are judged no matter.
