Always in the spotlight when a movie is releasing, this time Deepika glorifies the 'dutiful wife' playing second fiddle to an achiever husband, at the promotions of Ranveer's new movie '83. #Facepalm
Always in the spotlight when a movie is releasing, this time Deepika glorifies the ‘dutiful wife’ playing second fiddle to an achiever husband, at the promotions of Ranveer’s new movie ’83. #Facepalm
Deepika does it again. Every time without fail, just before the release of one of her films, she does something or says something which puts the entire nation’s focus on her.
Yeah, I know that no new film in which she plays the lead is releasing at now. This time she plays the dutiful wife.
Her new Instagram post is a picture from the movie ’83 where Ranveer Singh plays the role of our very dear and legendary Kapil Dev. Deepika is incidentally playing the role of Romi Dev, Kapil’s wife.
Her post starts with how grateful she is to have a “small part in the great movie”
She goes on to say “I have seen very closely the role a wife plays in the success of her husband’s professional aspirations in my mother and 83 for me is an odd to every woman who puts her husband’s dream before her own”
She concludes with “#thisis83”
With so many followers, mostly our youth, I wish she was a bit more careful with her actions and words.
It is not ok to just say or do anything for promoting a film.
Does she mean that all the women who do not give up their careers for their husbands’ aspirations are selfish?
Is she going to do the same thing when she goes ‘the family way’?
With so many facilities now, it has become easy to have a perfectly normal family life even if both partners are growing in their respective careers. Why is she then praising women who sacrifice or expecting women to sacrifice?
It would have been nice if she would have said that it’s an ode to the partners who sacrifice their careers for their spouse. While I still don’t agree with it, there can be exceptions were a partner may have to go slow in his/her career for various reasons.
So why an ode only to women? Because she thinks only women are required to sacrifice?
I know actors can get to any level to promote their film.
But it’s not ok always, when small impressionable minds are following you.
It’s not ok to just go stand with people who are protesting and not talking about it anywhere. What was it that she achieved by just standing there except appropriate the protest for her own ends? It just created a furore. I wish she had spoken whatever her views were, that is if she had any.
It’s not okay to say anything just to promote a film.
I wish she would have said something inspirational and asked woman to support their partners while nurturing their own careers.
I wish that younger kids don’t get inspired by everything she does or says. Because not all of it is what they should learn.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
