Same. It is part of being public figure, they will forever be judged . Say if Hillary Clinton talks about women empowerment some might say she was a doormat to Bill for years, so she has no right to speak about it or play happy family act. Thats an opinion against her and might just be true for someone . But doesn't take away the fact that she has a right to speak on the issue. Or that she is a symbol for women empowerment for many for other reasons. Her staying in that marriage was a choice too- regressive for some, intelligent for others.😆Similarly like you mentioned AB Sr, we might scoff at him but there are his blind fans who take him as family man, he has that brand value . They might buy whatever crap he says. It's all perceptions .We all generalize or act like hypocrites most of the time , it's another thing we just like to pretend otherwise.Right or Wrong are abstract and subjective when it comes to morality specially.
Totally..The other day, Rishi Kapoor was ranting about women empowerment on twitter & i couldn't help but scoff at the irony..His family din let women work in the industry after marriage, most men in that family are philandering douchebags & he was even accused of physically assaulting Neetu at one point..With such a track record, try as we may, its just impossible to take him seriously..Cos yeah, like you said he has a right to express his opinion but a lot of ppl are not going to take those opinions seriously thanks to his past actions..Main reason why ppl mock celebs like DP when they talk about objectification of women..Cos Bollywood as an industry thrives on objectification & none of these ppl shy away from doing item songs with ludicrous lyrics..I know there are issues about consent & just because they are film actors, they shouldn't be denied the right to discuss the issue but we cant stop people from judging either..And its also true that when an opinion comes from the right person ( or someone who practices what they preach & it reflects in their choices), we tend to attach more credibility to the same..Not sure if i made sense here 😆
