Ok first of all , I am not a Kareena fan. Just making it clear. I just feel that people are showing double standard by picking her alone and "hating" her for dumping shahid or breaking off with him.
What I dont understand is why such double standards to her alone or generally "actresses" alone. I made this post earlier too. I can cite so many examples.
Aamir khan dumped or what u call cheated on his wife with Kiran rao and another foreign gal. No one "hates" or dislikes him. He is still enjoying a high fanfare.
Akshay Kumar dumped several women. His list was so long. He dumped Raveena like a hot potato ruining her career after getting engaged to her, I never heard bad stuff abt him till now. He too enjoys high fanfare and no "hate" posts
Salman Khan abused several of his girlfirends, murdered people on the road, he still isa drunk. Yet there is still so much fanfare for him and no hatred.
Saif Ali Khan dumped his 12 year old marriage to Amrita Singh once he attained fame. He still enjoys stardom and no "hatred"
Amitabh Bachan had an affair with Rekha for so long, almost left Jaya bhaduri . He still enjoys superstardom
Sanjay Dutt again cheated on his sick ailing wife richa , went to jail for a terrorist act. He still enjoys stardom and fanfare. we dont have "dislike" posts.
I dont know why we have this double standard with actresses or certain actresses alone.
yes what happened with shahid and kareena was sad but we still dont know what happened . Both of them are decent enough to not disclose it and are either moved on or trying to move on. Yet we see "hatred" posts for her.
If SRK, Aamir, or Salman speak their mind, no one minds yet if a Mallika or a kareena speaks her mind, thats it , all hell breaks loose.
if a Ranbir or a Salman drop their rowel, girls go "ga ga" and have no complaints, yet when an actress or certain actress exposes , thats it she is labelled "vulgar" or "bad".
I dont understand why do we have this double standard. If heroines or actors speak thier mind abt their fellow actors, good or bad, is it a bad thing. Why cant everyone be open and take criticisms. Its as if its a crime to have negative opinion abt anyone else. you are only allowed to shower praises.
Do you think these very same " so called diplomatic" actresses dont speak ill or share thier negative opinions abt their fellow actresses or actors. YES, they do. But the only ones that get targetted are the ones who boldly come out and say so.
tomorrow if Ranbir dumps Deepika for some other actreess, tell me honestly how many posts would be there against him or "hatred" posts against him. I am sure none to little.
We indian people should stop being so melodramatic and emotional and just get over things.
No offense to anyone

totally agree with u n specially on kareena-shahid there is so much haterd on kareena in this forum cuz she dumped shahid n stuff but the truth is nobody knoes the truth n they are just aruguing over nothing like it,s their personal life. sallu is a legend on hitting his gf (no offense to sallu fans)he hitted all of his gf,s but he shouldn,t n nobody talks about that. i hate it when pepole get on actress for small reasons n if actors did a big thing they will just say k. it,s 21st century now n still women n men diff going on.

Good post.
But in our society we do have double standards. Woman should behave in a certain way while men can be a casanova and the more he is the more girls go for him.
I remember having a disusion with my friends over : Why girls fall for bad guys? or . Why they love being in love with the casanovas or bad boys?
So if a guy leaves a girl he becomes more famousor a hot property in girls. I think it is fault on our part.
Here I guess KAreena got the flak just becasue Shahid seemed to be "One woman man" unlike others. So the sypathy went ot him. Till today he has not openly said that he is dating anyone. So it is like "oh my got poor guy he is still suffering from the heart break." While Kareena is paintng the town red. Which is not wrong but to most it is not fair.
But yes the society do have double standards.

That is how it always is everywhere. Maybe the double standard in Bollywood is worse. But even in Hollywood if a starlet is a hot mess then it is more of a story and people call them the most vile names whereas if it is a guy then excuses are more likely to be made and there is more sympathy for him. I completely agree with your post though. But I encourage you to participate on the forum and continue to call out the double standards. Sometimes I try to, but it is so pervasive in society and the media that we tend to turn a blind eye to it, but we have to speak up and make sure to not let it go by unchallenged.

You're right and that's why I have never truly been a fan of the many males you've mentioned above. I think that's primarily the reason why I admire SRK so much as a person rather than an actor.
And double standards even exist in hollywood. It's just the way people's minds work, which is sad. But yeah, I can gladly say I wasn't one of them who went gaga over Ranbir's towel dropping scene. ick.

I disliked salman when he did all that c**p and whether i liked the star or not would say if i thought they were being rude for me theres no double standards.Kareena i do like but not going to pretend i like her and saif or the fact she dumped shahid. Salman is abit murky because i do not think ash is all that innocent rest i do not really care about since i do not like them anyways so why waste my time.
Kareena i do like i do not mind what she says but not going to say omg how can priyanka say that about her because you get as good as you give. Its not just the fact she left shahid its how soon she moved on it seems to me and fact she moved onto saif who like you said dumped his wife like that after so many years.
Double standards happen all over even acting wise if men act with young women they said nothing yet when a women does the same they call them names....

I agree with you completely! But people will still make such statements and hate on the women!
As for Kareena issue, if she had cheated on him, they wouldn't be talking after the break-up or be cordial to each other. They have been extremely nice to each other, just goes to show that sometimes things don't work out the way two people want them to. But Kareena is an easy target, with all the stuff that she has said in the past; people find it easier to blame everything on her.
