The conversations around gender equality have increased in recent times. And rightly so, because we need more and more equal opportunities for women in every sphere. During a recent event, actress Sonali Kulkarni spoke at length about those few per cent of women who have taken gender equality for granted and fail to equally contribute to household responsibilities. Her statements have received a severe backlash on Twitter but some users also agreed with many points that the actress boldly put out on the forum.
Sonali Kulkarni recently appeared on a CoachBSR interview with Bhupenddra Singh Raathore and honestly put forth her opinions on privileged women who do not make themselves useful in household expenses but have high demands to be fulfilled by their husbands or partners. Sonali Kulkarni during the interview called these women “Lazy” and said that they want partners in life who are well-settled and high-paid but are themselves not capable of contributing the same. She goes on to appeal to the parents to raise girls who are self-independent and are capable to support their families.
Sonali Kulkarni also said that girls should also have an equal amount of pressure to earn for their families like the boys of the house. The actress backed up her point with an example and said that one of her very close friends was looking for a partner who had a good income, car and house, and someone staying away from family. To this, the actress had a furious reaction and she said, “Are you out shopping in a mall?” The Dil Chahta Hai actress also questioned the girls who are always on edge and refuse to understand situations.
Her statements were not taken well by the women on Twitter. Many of them came forward to criticise the actress for her opinions that were putting women down. They called her a privileged upper-class woman.
