One of the users wrote, “A woman’s dreams are not any less than her husbands, ugh…I hate how women are supposed to like be worshipped somehow for squashing their ambition as if that’s the best way to be a wife. Why couldn’t u just say a woman who supports her husbands dream like she would her own…?”

Sorry. But this is so not me. When statements like these comes from public figures just for the sake of promoting a film, they do not understhow strongly it strengthenes the line of patriachy when it is already deep rooted in India. https://t.co/GLtW0cLQWW

Now is the time when both men and women should be empowering each other and support them. Why does anyone of them step back.
