Worst Statements By Bollywood Celebrities

We’ve come across Bollywood celebrities who have infuriated spectators with their foolish, uninformed remarks throughout the years. While some of them, like Alia Bhatt announcing Prithviraj Chauhan as India’s Prime Minister, have become templates for memes, others, like Salman Khan’s “I felt like a raped woman,” haven’t gone down well with us.

But have you ever wondered how Bollywood celebrities get away with speaking certain things in public? It’s possibly because they believe that no matter what they do, their supporters will always back them.

It’s not always the case, as we’re now calling them out. Because not all supporters and onlookers are oblivious to the notion of letting go.

Here are some of the worst things celebrities have said that make us squirm, ranging from casual sexist remarks to outright dumb utterances:

1. When Sonam Kapoor stated this on Karan Johar’s show, she assumed she’d get away with it

“If you’re not good looking, you are considered a good actor.”

5. When Mira Rajput shamed both women and puppies in the same statement, it was shocking

7. When Sonam sought to put a stop to the nepotism comments, she just poured fuel into the fire

“Yes I’m my father’s daughter, and yes I am here because of him and yes I am privileged. That is not an insult. My father has worked very hard to give me all of this. And it is my Karma where I am born and to whom I’m born. I’m proud.”

16. When Katrina Kaif tried to sound like a real feminist but ended up running away from the phrase

“People say I am not open but is being open only talking about your relationships? I don’t think I am feminist but I don’t think an actress should be made to speak about the men in her life when there is so much more to her and what she has achieved. We need to respect that.”

17. When Karan Johar felt compelled to murder a character because she had turned down a man

“The last track met with many polarised responses and rightfully so, but I was like she (Anushka Sharma’s character in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil) didn’t love him, she has to die. I wrote this character. He loved her so crazily. She could’ve loved him back, why couldn’t she? So she got cancer and she died.”
