Kareena Kapoor Khan reacts on twitter trend “#boycottLaalSinghChadda

Talking about people’s perspective towards movies, Kareena agrees that everyone tends to have an opinion about everything nowadays. She said “Of course, because the accessibility is there today. Everyone has a voice today. There are different platforms. Everyone has an opinion. So now, if that is going to be there, then you have to learn to ignore certain things. Otherwise, it will just become impossible to live your life. And that’s why I don’t take any of this seriously.”

“I just post whatever I want to post. I am like ‘It’s a film and it’s going to be released and everyone will have their opinion.’ So that’s it. If it’s a good film, I believe that it will surpass anything, pretty much, the response will be good. I think that good films will surpass anything,” she added.
