Neena Gupta is a veteran actress who is known for speaking her mind in public. She often makes headlines for her controversial statements. Recently, she appeared on a podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia and expressed her candid views. During the interaction, Neena said that she doesn’t believe in ‘faltu feminism’ or the idea that women are equal to men. This statement didn’t go down well with netizens and they trolled her mercilessly. Recently, Neena Gupta spoke up about her viral ‘faltu feminism’ comment and clarified her stance on the issue.
In an interaction with The Indian Express, Neena Gupta shared her stance on the ‘Faltu feminism’ comment and said that things were blown out of proportion by airing only a small portion of the interview. She stated; “They only used that chunk from the whole interview for promotions, to create a controversy. It said that I don’t believe in ‘faltu feminism’, and after that, people are fighting amongst each other. If one person is cursing me for saying that, someone else says, ‘What do you know? Watch the whole interview’. There should be a reference to what I said.”
Neena Gupta graced Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast where she talked about feminism and shared her ideas on equality between men and women. The actress said that she doesn’t believe in equal treatment. Neena mentioned in the interview, “Focus on achieving financial independence and giving attention to your work. If you’re a housewife, don’t look down on it; it’s an important role. Boost your self-esteem and avoid thinking of yourself as small. That’s the main message I want to convey. Additionally, men and women are not equal. The day men start getting pregnant, that day we will be equal.”
“I have made mistakes a couple of times. Many of us do. I now make sure that I don’t post anything on social media if I am angry, or if I’ve had a fight with someone. One should also not post if they are drunk, because if you do, then you regret it later. Thoda sambhalna padta hai (You have to be careful). You have to use the right language because a lot of people are listening to what you say. I have goofed up big time too,” Neena said.
