    There is a slight chance that Ranbir Kapoor might be dating Pakistani actress Mahira Khan. I'd ship it if it's true.

    That's them hanging out at the Global Teach Prize event in Dubai in March 2017.

    The rumours spread like wildfire after these pictures of them hanging out in New York, surfaced online.

    Others *sharp inhale of breath* have been slut-shaming Mahira for wearing a dress, smoking and being friends with an Indian man.

    As the "regressive reacts only" club is doing its best to have us forget that we're in 2017, the logical people of Twitter are skillfully shutting that shit down.

    This one is my personal favourite.

    I'm tired of reiterating the obvious takeaway but I'll repeat it anyway: WOMEN ARE FREE TO DO WHAT THEY LIKE DESPITE YOUR PETTY JUDGEMENTS AND OPINIONS.
