Marriage is an important part of any celebrity’s life. They can be in the news even while doing nothing worthwhile, by just breaking-up and hooking-up every season, for the interest it generates is what tabloid dreams are made of. So, understandably, when the wholesome, Canadian pop sensation, Shania Twain went on to marry Swiss businessman Frédéric Thiébaud, the same man whose former wife and Twain’s then best friend had wrecked Shania’s 14-year-old marriage in 2008, it was bound to churn the mills into overdrive.
A frenzy that is only paralleled by yet another rumour of Brangelina’s matrimonial union or the news of Jessica Simpson’s latest beau. But, what the gleeful intense speculation probably revelled in most was that this was the classic case of karma coming back. Abhik Bhattacharjee, a freelance writer, believes that the home wrecker definitely got what she deserved and thinks that Twain’s ultimate revenge was indeed the most mature thing to do.
“Finally after 14 years, she had the audacity to do what most conventional Canadian celebrities would not do. She’s better off with a new man, who is definitely a tad bit better looking than her ex-husband. I mean, what was she to do, release the speculated sex-tapes of her former husband?” he smirks. Riding over the wide belief that a cheated-upon wife has hardly any options other than packing her dignity, karma has delivered the final verdict in this case.
As design student Ishwin Saggu thinks, that karma is justice without the satisfaction. “When there is no one to blame, people blame it on karma. However, individual actions determine the course of one’s life and there are still things which are beyond our control and that’s taken care off by karma,” she explains.
However, it’s not necessary that the cycle of karma, now in motion must stop here itself. Like entrepreneur Sujeet Singh tells us, “I don’t know whether Shania married him as an act of revenge or love. But if the intentions are not all that respectable, then she could get caught in the same wheel too. We can only speculate as nothing can be said for certain.”
