Bollywood Wives are not Self-Made - Page 7

Other than dealing with cheating husband rich wives also have to live in husband's shadow. It's true many woman dream of marrying rich men so to live comfortably forever but a woman with self respect find it suffocating too at times.

Always getting comments on how lucky she was to get him n not same is being said about husband makes them feel bad. They loses their identity n just r known as XYZ's wife.

Aryan too said he doesn't want to become actor because he will be compared with his dad.

And Gauri was never a gold digger she married SRK when his career was not stable n might have gotten toppled too because Showbiz is such a risky career.

It's good she is doing something rather than just doing kitty party.

SRK has praised Gauri in many interviews.Because he was poor and Gauri was from a wealthy family.Still she married him and supported his dreams when no one supported him.That time Gauri looked pretty.

I agree. Particularly, I feel these other wives treat Gauri like a queen, only because of SRK. From what I saw in the show, every word that Gauri speaks is worshipped. It's so fake and obvious. To think that most of her clients could probably be choosing her to connect with SRK, makes me really doubt her credibility. Because it does come across like that in the show at least. Even the photographer in one of her shoots, I was like come on. She is not saying or doing anything so special that she needs to be praised like that. She should thank her stars SRK married her when he did, I really doubt she would have any chance, if he had become a star before that. Not only does she not look that good, she has a really bland and wannabe personality who needs to feed into her vanity by being around yes-men like these women.

@bold - This should be normalised. Women have as much right to want an equal partner as men and refuse to accept any lesser. That’s why the “compromise” and “adjust” shit raises my hackles. Society never asks a man to compromise. It’s always the woman, who is seen as a gold digger or an opportunist if she has higher standards than the bare minimum.

The choice of a life partner is one of the most important decisions a person will ever make. Why should anyone lower their standards at all? Compromising is the reason there are so many unhappy marriages today.

Regarding star wives, it’s damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I always have respect for anyone who wants to create something of their own. Atleast they want to make something creative. It takes guts to put yourself out there to be judged by everyone. There is a lot of pressure and anxiety when you are famous. God knows, the very thought of having my manuscript read by others gives me such jitters as one of the common folk. I don’t know what I would do if there were millions of people scrutinising my work, ready to tear it apart and discredit my efforts.

Behind every self made person, there are parents and spouses who have sacrificed crucial years of their lives out of love. There are mentors who have given wings to their dreams. There are countless coincidences that created the desired results. It’s a whole journey and an entourage of people that make the success possible.

That accusation is mostly thrown by men who do not know how to take rejection like a civilized being. Thus, they resorting to demeaning the girl in whichever way possible.

You are absolutely right. When it comes to these star wives people would call them spoiled and entitled no matter what they did. When we analyze the fact that they could have sat at home, having kitty parties, watching television, and enjoying a luxury lifestyle that their husband’s provided them. It is admirable on its own that they chose to spend that time working. No amount of money and benefits can keep a business running if the main person is not willing to work.

Who knows maybe if these women had more support from their parents or hadn’t sacrificed their lives helping their husbands get where they are maybe they could have become something on their own earlier. This is the case in many households that are not even famous.

My dad’s indian degree got rejected here. He was given 50% the credits and asked to redo the other half. My mom worked two jobs at age 21 to make sure he has a degree here. Ideally she could have spent that time establishing herself. But my dad knew he could redo his degree in a year. This way they could be living a more comfortable lifestyle sooner. Many times I have seen husbands not go after their dream job because wife is doing a post graduate degree. Every household is a team. That is why the non working spouse is always legally entitled to half of the working spouses earnings.

My experience after dealing with male chauvinism is we women should stand by each other whenever these double standards come up.

Smiley, what do YOU know about the hardwork/ work ethic of those people you just dissed?

And no, nobody expect you to love these women, neither to feel sorry for them, I guess.

Yet why bashing them? Are you jealous about the opportunities they get through their money?

As for Gauri's taste in design...well...it is also a kind of artistic work and it is common knowledge that - fortunately - taste and its liking differs ... if it isn't to your liking, it may very well be to other persons' liking.

Wow, thanks for sharing your parents’ story. To me, that’s what a happy marriage looks like - two people supporting each other and doing their best to give each other a good life 😍

Your mother working two jobs for a whole year must have been exhausting, but she did it out of love for your father. He went through the whole routine to get his degree legalised because he wanted to give her and you a better standard of living. That’s pure love and companionship. Better than all the filmy nonsense we are conditioned to idealise.

I was doing well in a corporate set up in Mumbai, but it was sucking the soul out of my body. My husband noticed my flair for writing and urged me to quit and focus entirely on my stories, so that I could fulfil my dream of publishing books someday. We moved to Goa, where he works remotely and I get to write, learn Ashtanga yoga, explore beautiful places and learn vegan cooking as a creative pursuit, not a daily chore. He helped me set up my website, when Wattpad and IF imposed their censorship rules, giving me a safe space where I can write freely.

We are a team. When my husband had lost his job in a pandemic, I had held the fort down, working long hours for months despite a salary cut. This enabled him to focus on his dream of building a start up of his own. I don’t know where we would be without these decisions today ❤️

You're a writer, BW? Fiction or nonfic? I write, too, so running into another writer gets me all excited. 😆

Oh really? Wow, I should have guessed going by your well written responses. I only write fiction. Paranormal romance is something I love reading and writing 😆 What about you? It’s so much fun to run into another writer 😍

Haan toh? What should I do instead then? Love them for their privilege and lack of hardwork ? Sorry I can’t do that. Why everyone here is hell-bent on me feeling sorry for these rich bratty celebs? I won’t do it, ever.

If you never think like rich, you will never grow. Only bookish knowledge and Psuedo intellectualism takes you no where

I know right😆...As if we were in their place we would reject all the benefits coming our way and run to the Himalayas to do tapasya...😆

People need to get down from their high horses and do a reality check....we are no different than them...we would be doing the same things if we were in their place..I mean taking advantage of the advantage.😆

So true.

I have spent my earlier years of career mingling and understanding rich and famous. They were much more kinder and less judgemental than average middle class. I have learned to take advantage of every situation in my life.

Most middle class consider buying Apple products as major achievement of life, but there are electronics brand way more expensive than apple that too with waiting lists and exclusive invites.

Psuedo intellectualism is something which gets you brownie points with school teachers and makes you butt of jokes in real life.
