Kareena Kapoor Khan is facing backlash after sharing Hollywood star Clint Eastwood’s quote about finding luxury in life's simple joys rather than material possessions.
The quote, posted on Instagram, emphasized that true luxury lies in laughter, friendship, health, and love, rather than wealth and items like watches, mansions, or sailboats.
The post read, ‘Don’t look for luxury in watches or bracelets, don’t look for it in mansions or sailboats; luxury is laughter and friends, luxury is not being sick, luxury is the rain on your face, and luxury is hugs and kisses. Don’t look for luxury in stores or in gifts, don’t look for it in parties or events. Luxury is that people love you, luxury is that they respect you, luxury is that your parents live, luxury is being able to play with your grandchildren, luxury is those little things that cannot be bought with money.’
Critics pointed out the irony, given Kareena’s association with significant wealth, including her husband Saif Ali Khan’s opulent Pataudi Palace.
One person wrote, ‘Made me laugh. People living in luxury talking about how luxury is not the most important thing in life.’ Another added, ‘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. I mean if you had gotten the short end of the stick in life, surely ‘materialistic’ things would be first on your list.’
One person wrote, ‘As Micheal Corleone said in Godfather 2, ‘This contempt for money is just another trick of the rich to keep the poor without it.’’ Another added, ‘The irony. This woman has Pataudi Palace and goes to Gstaad every year.’ ‘They live in their own bubble. Take luxury out of their lives then we’ll see,’ a comment read.
