Prominent Bollywood dancer and actress Nora Fatehi has triggered controversy on social media as her comments on feminism on Ranveer Allahbadia’s recent podcast go viral. She can be heard speaking about the negative impact of feminism on our society.
“This idea of like I don’t need anybody and feminism … I don’t believe in this sh** at all … In fact, I think feminism fu**d up our society and the idea of being completely independent and not having to get married and have kids …
“and not having the male and female dynamics in the home where the man is a provider and a breadwinner and the woman is a nurturer I don’t believe in people who think that that’s true … I think women are nurturers … Yes they should go to work and have their own life …
“and be independent but to a certain extent … We are all equal in more more sentimental things but in societal things we are not equal … I think everyone plays their role. Feminism inherently on the base level is great, the foundation of it is great …
“I also, you know, advocate for women’s rights. I also want girls to go to school. I also believe in all these things. However, when feminism becomes radical, which is what has happened in the last 15 to 20 years, it is dangerous for the society,” she added on the podcast.
Nora Fatehi’s statement on feminism lures attention to Priyanka Chopra video
Nora Fatehi’s statement on feminism has sparked controversy and numerous netizens have found her remarks ironic. One noted: “Nora Fatehi saying … sitting on a chair, as a woman who is striving to have a better career in the industry every day is ironic.”
The chaotic situation has lured substantial attention to an old video of global star Priyanka Chopra. In the clip, she can be heard speaking: “Feminism has got such a bad name now. The term. Because people think, feminism is berating men, or hating on men, which it is not.
“Women are only saying give us the joy or the ability to make our own decisions without being judged with the freedom that men have all these years. That’s it.” The clip is being shared by numerous netizens, including an X user “Tannu“. You can find the same here.
