Obviously the key word in that statement is "try" and besides she is not forcing it onto always like "you MUST do this"...it's more like if "you CAN then try it". I think she is being careful with her words and how they could be interpreted. I don't see anything wrong in it.
Also, she as an individual is allowed to have an opinion. If her fans follow her lifestlye that's not her fault. It's like if she gets preggers, her fans aren't going to get preggers or whatever. People are able separate and differentiate b/w their beliefs and what their favorite believes. It's all free wil and she doesn't claim to be an expert...she's married and happily so they asked her to share why is all works. They're all allowed to say what they want. We can decide for ourselves what things fit with our own beliefs.Frankly, when I'm completely independent I do want to move in with my guy before plunging into marriage. Parents might not be happy (they won't be 😆) but it's my life and my one shot of happiness--so why not?! I think caring about societal norms and what's taboo and what's not...that's not my cup of tea. I guess "Each to their own is the best rule of thumb".
I think that was the key. She is speaking from her own experience, and obviously is aware that her advice only applies to a select strata, that somewhat lives like her.
If she starts thinking about the majority, there is no way she would be able to advise them coz her own thinking, lifestyle, is so different. Majority of indian and pakistan girls, perhaps even today, get married via arranged marriage. How can Kareena endorse or understand that, considering her own marriage was love?
At some point, she's just gonna speak from experience, coz at least that way, it's things she honestly believes in.
She's not this ignorant. Even if you assume she's an idiot who lives in her bubble, we know she knows of other issues coz the fatwaas that were put against her and saif's marriage or when she appeared in Farah Khan show, she saw and was aware of how other couples are unable to have inter-religious marriages.
