What Did She Say?

For the unversed, in a podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia, while talking about men and women, and their need for depending on each other, Nora Fatehi said, “They need each other. This idea of I don’t need anybody, feminism, I don’t believe in this sh*it. Feminism f*ked up the society.” Fatehi also added that she did not agree with the idea of being independent and not having kids or marriage, and not having the male-female dynamics with their respective gender roles. While the actor opined that women should have a life and they should go to work, she also added that women should be ready to take up responsibilities as a mother, wife, too, just like a man should be ready to take on the role of bread-winner, father, and husband.

Well, we believe that the logic, understanding and clarity around feminism have been completely missing from these statements. Feminism is and always has been about the right to choose, and if a woman chooses not to get married, then so be it. If she chooses not to have a kid, then it’s her bodily choice. It’s feminism that gave women the voice to speak up for themselves, and it’s exactly why Nora Fatehi also has the opportunity to do and say things that she thinks are right! The context, however, was not missed; the concept was rather misconstrued in these statements.
