Twinkle Khanna Slams Absurd Rumours About Kareena Kapoor’s Absence. Twinkle Khanna was not surprised to see people blaming Kareena Kapoor for being absent during Saif Ali Khan’s attack at his Bandra residence. The attack left the industry in shock and raised security concerns. Saif was discharged from Lilavati Hospital last week. In her column for The Times of India, Twinkle Khanna slammed the ‘ridiculous rumours’ and criticized the shift in blame to Kareena Kapoor for not being present during the incident.
In a recent turn of events, SAif Ali Khan was attacked and what caught attention was Kareena’s absence. Reacting to the absurd rumours, Twinkle Khanna wrote. ” In the wake of Saif Ali Khan’s stabbing, a sense of vulnerability has taken root in homes everywhere. After a period of detaining every naturally spindly man they could find. And some on Ozempic, the cops have finally nabbed the perpetrator. While Saif was in hospital, ridiculous rumours swirled that his wife hadn’t been at home or had been too intoxicated to help him during the assault. The absence of any sort of evidence did nothing to stop these dumb theories. People just enjoyed shifting the blame onto the wife — an all-too-familiar pattern.”
She went on to add, “This is a widespread issue, not limited to couples in the public eye. If your husband gains too much weight, you are not taking care of his health; if he loses too many kilos, you are not feeding him well. If your house is untidy, you are lazy; if it’s too neat, you are a control freak. And If you work, you are too ambitious; if you don’t, you are good for nothing. If he’s caring, they’ll claim you’ve manipulated him; if he’s indifferent, they’ll blame you for not handling him right.”
The actress Twinkle Khanna went on to add by taking an example. “Last week, I attended a small family gathering where one of the relatives remarked. ‘Look, my five uncles are bald, and the one who still has hair, he is the only one who is not married’. Wives can also be blamed for baldness. In this context, I suppose it’s accurate to say that behind every man, loser or leader, stands a woman who is about to be vilified, at the drop of a hat, or with it firmly on her head.”
