It’s not new for Sania Mirza to get trolled and judged for Pakistan’s poor performance. She even gets trolled for not raising her son properly like a “good mom” by the society.
Recently, Pakistan had a humiliating loss against India in the world cup match. This hasn’t gone down well with the Pakistani fans.
Some fans released photos of players like Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim, and Wahab Riaz enjoying a night before the match versus India with Sania Mirza. She was also trolled by actress Veena Malik for taking her son Izhaan to party and have junk food, and even for “not taking care of the diet of her husband”.
Veena’s accusations went on different levels. She not only raised a question on Sania’s parenting skills but also accused her of being negligent towards Shoaib Malik’s diet.
Sania, I am actually so worried for the kid. You guys took him to a sheesha place isn't it Hazardious? Also as far as I know Archie's is all about junk food which isn't good for athletes/Boys. You must know well as you are mother and athlete yourself? https://t.co/RRhaDfggus — VEENA MALIK (@iVeenaKhan) June 17, 2019Never miss real stories from India's women.Register Now

Sania too responded and slammed Veena for that. Because how she raises her kid is “no one’ s business” and “she is not Pak team’s mother to be monitoring it”.

Not that it’s any of your or the rest of the world’s business cause I think I care bout my son a lot more than anyone else does 🙂 secondly I am not Pakistan cricket team’s dietician nor am I their mother or principal or teacher https://t.co/R4lXSm794B — Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) June 17, 2019

This has raised a question of how society feels it is OK to school women all the time.
It’s not new for women to be schooled for not parenting their kids properly. From Shveta Salve to Sania Mirza and the ordinary mom, they have been trolled for this. Sania was trolled and tagged as “not a good mom” even when she was pregnant. We need to understand that a mother who gives 9 months for a life to nurture inside her is the best person to understand and care for that life.
No one can understand a child better than her mom especially not the people out there in the society who have no clue what the actual picture is like. Also, parenting is not just a mother’s job it involves both ‘parents’ and it should not only be the mother who should be held responsible and termed as a ‘bad mom’.
From time to time mothers are often judged for being a bad influence for their kids which is completely wrong. A mother knows the best about her child and it not necessary that this good comforts the mentality of society. We need to accept this.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
