Veteran actress Neena Gupta sparked a social media frenzy with her recent comments on feminism. During an interview on the podcast “Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai,” hosted by Ranveer Allahbadia, Gupta expressed her belief that women are not equal to men. She argued that instead of focusing on “useless feminism” and the idea of equality, women should strive for financial independence and prioritize their work. Gupta also emphasized the importance of self-esteem and urged housewives not to underestimate their role.
Gupta shared a personal experience to highlight the significance of men in women’s lives. She recounted a time when she had to catch an early morning flight and felt scared walking alone in the dark. She missed her flight but was able to travel safely the next day with the help of a male friend. This incident led Gupta to conclude that women need men.
The actress’s comments ignited a debate online, with many praising her for her honesty and courage. Actress Tannaz Irani commended Gupta for living life on her own terms, and Sunita Rajwar expressed love and respect. Fans also applauded Gupta for her authenticity, describing her as the most honest female celebrity.
However, not everyone agreed with Gupta’s perspective. Some argued that feminism is not about physical differences or men getting pregnant but about equal rights and opportunities. They criticized her for misinterpreting the concept of feminism and accused her of having limited knowledge on the subject.
This is not the first time Neena Gupta has sparked controversy with her comments. In a previous incident, she shared a video from Bareilly airport, expressing disappointment at not being allowed into the reserved lounge. While some sympathized with her, others criticized her for expecting special treatment as a Bollywood celebrity.
Neena Gupta was last seen in “Lust Stories 2.” Her remarks on feminism have ignited a passionate discussion online, highlighting the ongoing debates and differing perspectives on gender equality.
