Kangana Ranaut shared her take on the idea of marriage and Indian family values amidst the much discussion about Sanya Malhotra starrer Mrs. and its take on woman’s life after marriage. The actress’ lengthy note did not mention the film specifically, Reddit users have accused her of trying to take down Sanya through the post.
The Queen actress took to her Instagram handle, on Saturday, and asked her fans to stop “demonising elderly people and comparing women of the house with paid labour.” Kangana went on to slam Bollywood love stories for distorting the ideas of marriage. A post was shared on Reddit, wherein the users called her “supreme hypocrite.”
On her Instagram, she wrote, “Growing up I never saw a woman who didn’t command her house, ordered every one when to eat when to sleep and when to go out, asked her husband about every penny that he spent and he obligated, only conflicts were his boys outings and frequent drinking evenings with friends, whenever papa wanted to eat out with us she scolded us all because cooking for us was her joy.”
“Women of the house dadi, mumma, chachi are our ultimate queens… of course there can be cases of devaluing women but let’s stop generalising Indian joint families and demonising elderly people, also let’s stop comparing women of the house with paid labour also the joy of building a home and raising kids with forced labour,” she added.
The actress further explained that the marriages are not for attention or validation seeking, as it is essentially for elderly and the newborns, both of whom are helpless.
