There was an uproar as soon as Rahul Gandhi’s name was taken in the show, later Kareena changed her statement.

New Delhi. Famous Bollywood actress (Kareena Kapoor Khan) has once again come into the headlines for her old statement. An old interview of hers is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which she had said something interesting about a political personality before her marriage with Saif Ali Khan.

This incident happened when Kareena Kapoor was in the initial phase of her career and had appeared in the famous chat show ‘Rendezvous with Simi Garewal’. During the show, host Simi Grewal had asked her that if she got a chance to date any one person, who would it be.

Kareena Kapoor hesitated a bit on this question and said that she was feeling uneasy about answering because it could be “a bit controversial”. After this, the name he mentioned was a very popular name in the country’s politics at that time – Rahul Gandhi.

Kareena Kapoor had said during the conversation that she would like to know Rahul Gandhi because she finds him an interesting person. He had also said that since they belong to film and political families, the conversation between the two could be interesting. This statement became very much discussed at that time and debate started on it from media to common people.

However, this statement did not last long. As Kareena Kapoor’s career progressed and her film ‘Omkara’ was released in 2009, she started distancing herself from this statement. In a press conference she clearly said that she had never said that she wanted to date Rahul Gandhi.

Kareena Kapoor had further said that it was a light conversation at that time, which was taken more seriously than necessary. She also clarified that now this is an old thing and she does not want to take it further.

Later, when Kareena Kapoor’s name was linked with actor Saif Ali Khan, her personal life was constantly in the media headlines. Both of them later got married and joined the famous couples of Bollywood.

Even today, when this old video comes out, people give different reactions to it on social media. Some consider it a funny statement while others see it as an old-fashioned outspokenness.

Overall, this case shows how old statements of celebrities go viral in a new context over time and become a topic of discussion.
