Alia’s “middle class” upbringing - Page 2

I’m really baffled by her thought process of telling children they cannot have certain privileges because they don’t have the money, but then showing off that privilege right in their faces as their mother. They were just kids and she told them you two can’t enjoy this thing because you’re not making any money of your own. And the middle class angle by her is BS. She wanted to save money but still pamper herself. How long is a Mumbai-Dubai flight? 3 hours? She needed to be in a first class seat for three hours rather than stay with her kids? 🤨

Completely true. Also wealth etc is completely relative & for well-off/well-to-do people, this IS middle-class. My well-off friends say such shit & it makes me scratch my head, this then is BW, where celebs live in their own world & hob-nob with the likes of Ambani. In front of AMBANI, even very “rich” people are middle-class. So that isn’t what’s baffling to me- What’s baffling is that she left her young kids alone just b/c she wanted to drill home a point & sat in BC herself??? (It’s less than 3 hour flight, btw) it’s just mean. And defeats the purpose. It’s bad parenting.

So either this didn’t happen or she was just a clueless mother.

If according to Soni , Travelling in economy is such a hardship than 98% of the world are going through really tough times! 🤪

Yes very believable

Oh..our full family travelled to Dubai in economy class..poor us.

Her kids would have been more pissed off that she didn't travel with them in economy n booked a business class for herself..

Wonder what all she wrote in the book.

I’m voting for clueless 🤷🏽‍♀️

That's upper middle class and not middle class. She ruined it by saying she travelled in 1st class and made her kids travel by economy

I heard Farah Khan did the same with her children big deal

This whole family is 🙄

Only Alia appears somewhat sane

Right, and I'm Shrek.

Someone please tell Ms. Razdaan that having a UK passport is a huge-ass privilege that most of us pleb don't have.

Also, India doesn't have a middle class.
