‘Yeh Ladki Pagal Hai’: Debina Bonnerjee Says Society Told Her She Was ‘Too Old’ To Have Kids!
Society is too panchayti!
Being a mother or the journey to becoming a mother is quite a personal one for every woman. Not to forget that is a very big responsibility to bring another human into this world, one that should not be taken lightly. Sadly, society does not understand this, and starts pressurising a woman to have children very soon after marriage. She is manipulated with words like ‘biological clock’ and getting ‘too old’ to have children, which is absolutely wrong. In the latest episode of Yeh Ladki Pagal Hai, Debina Bonnerjee talks about how she, too, felt pressurised by people constantly telling her to have children after she had crossed her 30s.

In a conversation with Yeh Ladki Pagal Hai’s host, Pavni Mehrotra, Debina Bonnerjee got real about the pressure put on her to become a mother. Debina said that she did not have any qualms about not having a baby. She said, “I knew I have come to Mumbai to work. But it was society that made me feel this by constantly saying this.” Debina added that it was not just the people around her who were around who were reminding her that she needs to have a baby, but it was also the audience.

Talking about how it affected her, she said that when so many people constantly say that one thing, one starts feeling that they are right. She also went on to say that society keeps pointing out to career-oriented women like her that they are doing it all wrong and should start focusing on children.
