Huma Qureshi has weighed in on the recent debate sparked by Twinkle Khanna's comments on infidelity, specifically addressing Khanna's assertion that physical cheating isn't necessarily a dealbreaker. The discussion originated on Khanna's chat show "Two Much," where she and Kajol suggested that emotional infidelity is potentially more damaging than physical infidelity, a viewpoint that actress Janhvi Kapoor strongly contested.

Qureshi, known for her straightforward and "old-school" values, offered a contrasting perspective on Shubhankar Mishra's podcast. "Cheating is cheating, kya physical-emotional kya hota hai," she stated, questioning the need to differentiate between physical and emotional infidelity. She emphasized her clear stance: "I am very black-white in this matter. Either don't be with someone, and if you are with someone, then be with them properly. I don't understand this free pass kind of thing".

Khanna's original statement, "Raat gayi, baat gayi (what's happened, has happened)," suggested a more lenient view on physical infidelity, particularly within the context of long-term relationships. This sparked considerable debate online, with many criticizing Khanna and Kajol for seemingly normalizing physical infidelity. Kapoor, on the other hand, firmly stated that "No, the deal is broken" when the topic of physical infidelity arose.

Qureshi directly challenged the notion that attitudes toward infidelity change with age, referencing Khanna and Kajol's suggestion that younger people will adopt a similar perspective as they get older. "I don't believe in that," Qureshi stated. She humorously added, "I can joke about it and say, 'Don't get caught otherwise I will kill you.' I don't understand it, then don't be with a person, stay single and do your thing".

The actress also addressed the topic of open relationships and the perception of a unique "Bollywood culture" surrounding such arrangements. Qureshi admitted to initially feeling overwhelmed by the new experiences and conversations when she moved from Delhi to Mumbai. However, she clarified that open relationships are not exclusive to Bollywood and emphasized the presence of traditional, family-oriented individuals within the industry.

Qureshi also touched upon the importance of women's safety, regardless of location or industry. She advised caution and awareness, noting that "people can be ready to take advantage anywhere".

The debate around infidelity, sparked by Khanna's remarks, highlights the diverse perspectives on relationships, loyalty, and the evolving understanding of commitment in modern society. Qureshi's firm stance adds another voice to the conversation, reinforcing the idea that infidelity, in any form, is a breach of trust and commitment for many.

It's worth noting that Qureshi was previously subject to rumors regarding an alleged affair with Sohail Khan, which both parties have consistently denied. Khan addressed the rumors, emphasizing the impact such gossip has on his family and requesting that media outlets provide concrete evidence before publishing such claims.
