Are Saif and Kareena being insensitive? - Page 22

Maybe I am a heartless soulless beast, but I honestly do not think any human being is obliged to attend funerals or express emotions that may not be inherent to them.

In my opinion, marriage, birth, death, and these major life events have become a social farce. Strangers converging to express best wishes and condolences to do what society thinks is the right thing to do. There is no honesty around sentiments anymore. You're expected to invite people to a wedding because they are "industry" or "colleagues" even if you barely know each other. You're expected to shed tears and be devastated even though you were just "co-workers".

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not being devastated when a colleague passes away. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not attending the funeral of a colleague. There is absolutely nothing wrong with continung your everyday life as it were when a colleague passes away.

Personally, I feel deep emotions only for close friends and family. There are plenty of acquaintances and colleagues whom I do feel joy/pity/sorry for depending on the life events, but I will never feel obliged to go out of my way to express it.

Insensitive would be scheduling a conflicting event during the funeral. Insensitive would be clicking selfies at a funeral. Insensitive would be going to a funeral and sharing your vacation pics with mourners.

Going about your daily routine that was planned ahead of time is not insensitive in my world. Saif and Kareena are quite pretentious, selfish and self-absorbed. There are many times they are full of themselves. But they have not gone out of their way to intentionally hurt Boney Kapoor and family.

Because it doesn't come naturally to me either to fly in front a different city if a colleague passes away. I would call the family for sure and express condolences. I would for sure attend the funeral if I'm in town. The only folks I'd be flying in for are my family and friends.

So what's the excuse now when she's in the city and roaming around from Karisma's house to the daily gym routine and getting pap photos out? People who were away filming all visited Boney's house this weekend from Aamir to Juhi to Anushka. Virat who has nothing to do with Sridevi actually went twice. The first time he attended with Anushka's parents because she was away filming and then came again a second time with Anushka as soon as she returned to Mumbai.

When you live in society, some politeness, courtesy are generosity are required to be considered humane. Even a 30 minute visit from a random person helps the grieving family get a break from their loneliness.

I'm not sure what defense is even being mounted for Kareena. She didn't care so she didn't go. The end. She is self-centered and has lived a happy life of privilege so she doesn't understand that these small gestures can end up having a lot of meaning for those who suffer a loss. Most of the time she reminds me of a selfish teenager who thinks they are invincible and can't see past their own nose because they haven't gone through much in life themselves.

y'all need to stop being keyboard warriors and get out more. Some of you are so negative its shocking. It's like, the burden of Sridevis death falls on the shoulders of Kareena and Saif.

I really hope Taimur doesn't end up being like them. Maybe the boarding school/nanny will teach him good values.
