"This woman has Pataudi Palace and goes to Gstaad every year.”
Kareena Kapoor faced backlash for her post about luxury not being everything.
In an Instagram Story, the actress reposted a quote attributed to Clint Eastwood that said luxury is not about money but rather the small joys of life.
The quote read: “Don’t look for luxury in watches or bracelets, don’t look for it in mansions or sailboats; luxury is laughter and friends, luxury is not being sick, luxury is the rain on your face, and luxury is hugs and kisses.
“Don’t look for luxury in stores or in gifts, don’t look for it in parties or events.
“Luxury is that people love you, luxury is that they respect you, luxury is that your parents live, luxury is being able to play with your grandchildren, luxury is those little things that cannot be bought with money.”
She captioned it: “Read it again and again.”
However, Reddit users were not pleased by Kareena’s post.
One person shared a screenshot of her Story and commented:
“Made me laugh. People living in luxury talking about how luxury is not the most important thing in life.
“No hate or jealousy here but I always find it funny (and tone-deaf) when people who are uber-rich post about how money is not everything in life.
“I mean if you had gotten the short end of the stick in life, surely ‘materialistic’ things would be first on your list.”

Others echoed this sentiment and criticised Kareena.
One said: “Like Micheal Corleone said in Godfather 2, ‘This contempt for money is just another trick of the rich to keep the poor without it’.”
Another wrote: “The irony. This woman has Pataudi Palace and goes to Gstaad every year.”
A third added: “They live in their own bubble. Take luxury out of their lives then we’ll see.”
Hitting out at Kareena, one person commented:
“This is like the thing where people with money preach about money not giving you happiness and people with things preaching about minimalism.
“This is a luxury. Money gives you that luxury to talk s**t like this.”
Others defended Kareena Kapoor as one asked:
“Isn’t that poignant though? The people who have experienced it realise that it doesn’t solve anything.”
Another said: “Exactly! Those who don’t have it will obviously want it, but only those who have had it will know its true value and how it’s not everything.
“Money is the second best thing in the world.”
