Shahid’s wife Mira Rajput on the occasion of Women's Day
talked about housewives and working women. But, her comments turned into a
controversy and did not go well with many.
People on social media bashed Shahid Kapoor's wife
about her idea of feminism. According famous tabloid, one of Mira's classmates
wrote an open letter on her Facebook page. She disclosed Mira's days during her
college time and blasted her for her stance.
Here's the open letter:
Dear Mira,
Having watched your interview, I feel extremely enraged
today. I’ve spent three years in the same college and batch as you. I can say
today with confidence that your idea of feminism is extremely flawed. Seeing
you walk around with your posse in college, belittling women who were not
skinny enough or did not subscribe to your fashion ‘standards’ makes me wonder
what you ever did to have a moral high ground over anyone at any point. Your
narrow world view is astounding, to say the least. And not to forget, how your
statement about working mothers takes us years back in reaching actual
empowerment of which you seem to know nothing.
With lots of aggression,
An informed feminist
Speaking about being a homemaker and her difficult times
while bringing daughter Misha Kapoor to the world, she specified, "I had a
tough pregnancy, I went to those 5 months of difficult times to bring my
daughter into this world. So now I want to spend every moment that I can with
her and I think there is a set of responsibilities around my plate and I feel
at my age I have a lot more energy, I have my future ahead of me, so I can
finish all of my responsibility and I have nothing in my way. I can raise my
daughter, I can be a good wife. Nothing will stop me after that. I love being
at home, I love being a mother to my child, I wouldn’t want to spend one hour a
day with my child and rush off to work, why did I have her? She is not a puppy;
I want to be there for her as a mother."
She also added, "I have a set of responsibilities on my
plate and my future is ahead of me. I can finish all my responsibilities and
then I will have nothing in my way. I can raise my daughter, be a good wife,
and set up my home the way I like. I wouldn’t have it any other way… Empowerment
means you have the right to choose. So it’s my choice if I want to be at home.
And it’s someone else’s choice if they want to be a working mother. But both
are equally valid and neither of them should be shamed."
Mira shared her thoughts on feminism by telling,
"Feminism isn’t woman versus man. It’s about equality. A new wave of
feminism has come that is aggressive… I feel it’s destructive. There’s a new
term called ‘feminazi’, which is the female equivalent of a chauvinist. I think
there should be harmony between the two sexes and equilibrium."
