From time to time, our celebs make dumb statements that make us wonder how they could be so stupid. While promoting her movie – Laal Singh Chaddha – Kareena Kapoor Khan made a stupid and dumb statement that irked the internet.
As the call to boycott Laal Singh Chaddha trends over the internet, Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor are trying hard to promote the movie, which took many years to be ready for the cinema halls.
Recently, Kareena Kapoor during a promotional internet made a dumb statement that left netizens irked. While trying to explain how ‘’Laal Singh Chaddha’ could be new for fans, she used some really problematic words. Though Kareena was trying to say that since Forrest Gump is an American movie many Indian haven’t seen it. She further added how for them “Laal Singh Chaddha” will thus just be a story and not a Forrest Gump remake.
While talking to News18, Kareena tried to explain why ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ would be a new experience for many Indians as”many” would not have seen the original movie—Forrest Gump.
But, as Kareena continued, she went too far when she called LSC an elitist kind of classist film. In her interview she said, “No, because it’s an original adaptation in a different language. Our language and our sentiments are very different from theirs also. So, we’ve adapted it for our Indian screens, and I’m sure people would enjoy it. But many people still haven’t watched ‘Forrest Gump’…the masses would not have seen. It is an elitist kind of classist film. So they (Indian audience) will see it for a story, not because it’s a remake of ‘Forrest Gump’.”
In no time, this particular segment of Kareena Kapoor’s interview started going viral. In a now-viral Reddit thread, many netizens schooled her for mindlessly using phrases. Some called her to stop her mindless use of words, the others asked her not to memorize words from the dictionary.
Reacting to Kareena’s dumb statement, here’s how the internet reacted:
