"I want to say that its not necessary to believe in faltu [useless] feminism or the idea that 'women are equal to men," Neena Gupta had said
Veteran actress Neena Gupta's recent remarks on feminism have created a storm on social media. Speaking to Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai, Neena Gupta said that she doesn't believe that women are equal to men. The actress said, “I want to say that it's not necessary to believe in faltu [useless] feminism or the idea that 'women are equal to men'. Instead, focus on achieving financial independence and giving attention to your work. If you are a housewife, don't look down on it. It is an important role. Boost your self-esteem and avoid thinking of yourself as small. That's the main message I want to convey. Additionally, men and women are not equal. The day men start getting pregnant, that day we will be equal.”
Neena Gupta also spoke about the importance of men in women's lives. Sharing her own experience, the actress added, “You need a man. I will tell a small story. I had to catch a flight at 6 am. I did not have a boyfriend at that time. I came out of the house at 4 am and it was dark. A man started following me, and I was so scared. I went back to my house and I missed my flight. The next day, I booked the same flight. But I stayed at my male friend's house and he dropped me off. I need a man.”
Neena Gupta's comment on feminism has everyone talking. Replying to the clip shared on Instagram, actress Tannaz Irani said, “You are one woman who has had the guts to live her life on her own terms. Don't regret anything you have ever done. It's made you the wonderful person you are today. And your daughter should and she is so proud of you too! I'm sure.” Actress Sunita Rajwar wrote, “Love and respect.”
