Days after Saif Ali Khan was stabbed, his Dil Tera Diwana co-star and author Twinkle Khanna strongly reacted to those blaming Kareena Kapoor for the incident. For those unversed, Kareena posted a picture of having drinks with her gal pals Sonam and Rhea Kapoor and sister Karisma Kapoor. A section of social media shamed the actor for being too intoxicated to help Saif during the assault.
For her column in Times of India, Twinkle addressed the issue and wrote, “After an actor was stabbed, ridiculous rumours swirled that his wife hadn’t been at home or had been too intoxicated to help him during the assault. People just enjoyed shifting the blame onto the wife — an all-too-familiar pattern.”
