‘I believe in equality. I wouldn’t say I am a feminist’, Kareena Kapoor ended up becoming a prey of trolls for this statement. The actress, who would be seen in Veere Di Wedding soon, was asked about her idea of feminism at the music launch of the film.
Answering the question she said, “I believe in equality. I wouldn’t say I am a feminist, I would say I am a woman and above all, I am a human being. I am also as proud to be known as Saif Ali Khan’s wife, as I am to be Kareena Kapoor. So, that is just the way I am.”
