When Raj Kundra was arrested for creating pornographic content, it was wife Shilpa Shetty who bore the brunt.
Businessman Raj Kundra was recently arrested by the Mumbai Police. He has been accused of creating pornographic content and showing it on certain apps. This matter came to light in February this year and a case was registered against him.
As most people already know, Raj Kundra is the husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. As soon as this news came out, the trolls became active on social media. They began dragging Shilpa Shetty into this and began trolling her even more than Raj Kundra.
Trolls have crossed the limits of decency in this matter, making vulgar comments on Shilpa Shetty. Why? Just because Shilpa is a woman and a public figure. People seem to leave no stone unturned in their attempt to humiliate her.
Overlooking what her husband did or why he did it, people’s sole focus has been attributing all the blame on Shilpa Shetty. Trolling her for the arrest of Raj Kundra is completely unacceptable. This only shows the absurd mindset of the trolls.
Some people have written that it was because of Shilpa Shetty’s high-maintenance, expensive tastes that Raj Kundra had to resort to such measures. Do people really think that Shilpa is not capable of bearing her own expenses?
She has been working in films and TV for decades; she has also been running her own business and a YouTube channel. Why would she be dependent on her husband?
This kind of mindset – that every woman is financially dependent on her husband, while dumbfounding, is widely prevalent in society.
When Shilpa Shetty is called ‘high-maintenance’ by trolls, does it not seem like they are talking about an object, maybe a car? In our “educated” society, such objectification of women is, regrettably, commonplace.
Whenever someone calls such behaviour out, the common response is that “it was a joke”. Well, why are only women subjected to such ‘jokes’?
Regardless of the party at fault, the woman still takes the blame. If a person has been accused of a crime, why is the wife assumed to be complicit? Is it not possible that the wife was not even aware of what was going on?
Let the law take it’s course first. Let the police investigate if she was even involved in the case or not. Naturally, if they find anything amiss, they will take appropriate action.
It is very common to see women blamed for crimes committed by someone else as if their identities were defined by their relationship with some man like father-husband-brother-son. That they have an identity of their own, is a concept beyond the understanding of many.

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.
Love cannot be imposed Stalkers speak of love, which in a few minutes turns deadly when they are rejected by the woman.
