TMF: Debina Bonnerjee Calls Her Father The Wind Beneath Her Wings, Shares How He Helped Her Pursue Her Dreams
Her father is the sweetest!
Getting your family’s unconditional support to fulfil your dreams, is the first step towards success, I believe. If your parents support you, there is one less battle to fight. And for girls, this stands true the most because girls have to seek permission for everything that a boy will be said yes to without even asking. And given the patriarchal society we live in, it is usually the fathers who are very strict when comes to daughters. But Debina Bonnerjee was extremely lucky in this department because she had a father who supported her right from day one and gave her wings to fly! In a conversation with Siddhaarth Aalambayan AKA The Male Feminist, Debina talks about how her father never said no to her when she wanted to pursue her dreams.

In the latest episode of The Male Feminist, Debina Bonnerjee talked about getting unconditional support from her father, Ashoke Bonnerjee. She said, “My father could have crushed my dreams by not allowing me to pursue them or by imposing a no.” Deina also quoted her father who would often call her the ‘rich daughter of a poor father’. “Whenever I asked him for anything, he has always given me more,” says Debina Bonnerjee!

Debina revealed that when she wanted to participate in the Miss Calcutta pageant, her father did not say no to her for that as well.
Elaborating on how he did not give her luxuries, Debina said, “I never had luxuries. We did not have a car, I used to travel via bus. But he gave me the luxury of pursuing my dreams” She also said that this supportive behaviour of her dad was not liked by the people in her locality. Debina Bonnerjee also dropped a major truth bomb by saying that those who give the wind beneath your wings to fly are not accepted by society.

To have such a supportive father is a blessing that not many girls are fortunate to have received. We hope this episode is watched by the men who are fathers to daughters so that the message is driven home that they should let their daughter pursue her dreams!
