Kareena Kapoor Khan says she believes in equality but wouldn't call herself a feminist; Twitter 'cancels' her

Feminists across the globe may have to work a little harder because Kareena Kapoor Khan just went on record and 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.” Post these comments, she has apparently already been ‘cancelled’ by Twitterati.

At the audio launch of _Veere Di Wedding_ , Kareena confidently pointed out that she believes in the equality of genders but she wouldn’t call herself a feminist. Not like she’s the flagbearer of the movement, but as Twitter users suggest, a little Google search never hurt anybody. Here are some Twitter reaction to Kareena’s warped definition of the term:

It's 2018 and we have a Kareena Kapoor say, 'I believe in equality of genders, but I am not a feminist'. How long before women in positions of influence educate themselves? Is that really too much to ask!

"I believe in equality but I don't want to fight for it, don't want to educate myself on women's rights, don't want to be seen as a man-hater, but other women should be feminists so that I can reap the benefits"- What #KareenaKapoorKhan actually saidhttps://t.co/nJzJsVAmyu

This Twitter user had an interesting argument:

It's fine for Kareena Kapoor to say she believes in equality but isn't a feminist. There are people who don't want labels. It's better than those who claim to be feminist & latch on to spouses/men to save them, even from vacuous trolls.

These comments are especially surprising coming from Kareena, whose Veere Di Wedding also features Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania . Meanwhile, Sonam and Swara are known to be staunch advocates of the movement.
