Suniel Shetty sparks fresh row, says ‘if husband is building career, wife needs to take care of child', netizens react
Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty has once again landed in a controversy with his latest 'wife needs to take care of child' remark. Previously, it was his "comfort of C-section' remark which earned him backlash on the internet. Now, he is being criticised once again for saying that a wife should understand and take care of their child while the husband is busy with his career. During an interview, Suniel Shetty was asked how the concept of marriage has evolved over time. He told Pinkvilla, 'Aaj kal bachon mein patience hai hi nahi. Shaadi kuch time ke baad ek samjhauta hota hai, where you have to understand each other, live for each other. (Kids these days have no patience. Marriage, after a while, becomes a compromise, where you have to understand each other and live for one another).' He went on to add how the wife's role should change after the arrival of a child in a family. He added, 'Phir ek bacha aata hai, aur patni ko yeh jaan na zaruri hai ki husband career banayega toh bache ko main dekh rahi hoon. Husband, of course, saath mein dekhega. Par aaj kal sab cheezon mein pressure bohot ho gaya hai. (Then a child comes into the picture, and the wife needs to understand that if the husband is building his career, she will need to take care of the child. Of course, the husband will also be involved. But these days, there is just too much pressure in everything)." Suniel also acknowledged that much has changed over the years, pointing out how the virtual world now offers advice on everything, from parenting tips on being a mother or father to guidance on what to eat and how to live. His statement has received mixed reactions from the internet. Reacting to it, someone posted on Reddit and wrote, 'He needs to stop talking.' A user commented sarcastically, 'I think he should try C-section in interviews since the delivery of his statements normally go wrong (sic).' 'Bhai apni image khud hee kharab kar raha h (he is ruining his own image)... Sometimes being quiet is the wisest thing, doesn't their PR team advice them? Or even people around them…Bro should learn from his damad (sic).' 'After natural birth warrior story he is back with a male chauvinism anecdote! Seriously he should just stop talking (sic),' added another. 'He has turned out to be such an unlikable person,' one more wrote. He will be next seen in the upcoming season of Hunter Tootega Nahi Todega.

Radhika Madan supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand: 'Male actors are given that privilege'
As the dialogues continue around the grueling nature of shoot schedules, Radhika Madan has also expressed her displeasure regarding the imbalance of hours between male and female actors in the industry, having appeared in 'Angrezi Medium', 'Pataakha', 'Shiddat', and 'Sarfira'. The topic gained recent attention following Deepika Padukone 's departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit, where she was said to have asked for an eight-hour workday, which prompted renewed discussion around work-life balance and gender inequity within Bollywood. Radhika Madan on eight-hour shoot days The actress told Hindustan Times that she has had both 12-to-14-hour days of shooting and shorter days of eight hours. She believes that the work itself is the same, but working against deadlines allows the team to be more committed and concentrated, therefore, the shoot takes place within that time. She said she has seen films filmed, and released, and even be box office successes, all under these turns of time, and if she had not seen it herself, she would not have believed it to be possible to work and achieve, within working hours. On equality in Bollywood At a recent event, Radhika addressed the ongoing discussion regarding workplace equality in the Bollywood industry. She added that whenever women stand by working conditions equal to their male counterparts, those demands should be treated as commonplace rather than unreasonable claims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo She affirmed that these kinds of discussions can be collaborative when the respect and understanding are mutual, and she also pointed out that part of the concern comes from the availability of time privileges that some male actors have but not many women. Touching upon her own experience with professional burnout, Madan recalled the toll of working across seven projects in a single year. She shared that the emotional weight of multiple roles affected her deeply, leading to depression and forcing her to seek help. According to her, the industry needs to recognize the reality of burnout and move towards greater equality—without favouring male actors with special treatment. Recalls her marathon shoot days During a recent YouTube vlog with Farah Khan, the actress revisited her debut experience and the grueling schedule that came with it. When Farah remarked that Radhika probably didn't have an eight-hour shift on her first show, Radhika responded that she had endured non-stop shoots lasting 48 to 56 hours. Farah then added her own perspective, noting that she doesn't advocate for the eight-hour work model either, quipping that such relentless effort is what creates something truly valuable—comparing it to how gold is forged through intense pressure.

After his normal delivery remark, Suniel Shetty faces backlash once again for his ‘husband career banaega, wife should take care of kids' comment: 'He needs to stop talking...'
Suniel Shetty is facing backlash for his traditional views on marriage and parenting. He suggested wives should prioritize childcare while husbands focus on career building, sparking outrage online. This follows earlier criticism for his comments on C-sections. Social media users have deemed his views outdated and regressive, contrasting them with modern parenting ideals. After sparking outrage earlier this year for calling C-sections 'comfortable,' Suniel Shetty has once again found himself at the centre of a social media storm. His recent comments about marriage and parenting roles—suggesting wives should focus on raising children while husbands build their careers—have drawn sharp criticism online, with many accusing the actor of promoting regressive views. Views on Modern Marriages In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Suniel shared his views on modern-day marriages, suggesting that today's generation lacks patience in relationships. He explained that, over time, marriage becomes a compromise that requires mutual understanding and commitment. His remarks have stirred conversation and drawn mixed responses on social media. Netizens Call Out Sexist Undertones He further stated that once a child is born, it's important for the wife to understand that if the husband is focusing on building his career, she should primarily take care of the child. While he acknowledged the husband's role as well, he emphasized that modern life comes with a lot of pressure. The actor, who is gearing up for the new season of Hunter: Tootega Nahi Todega, admitted that much has changed over the years. He pointed out how the virtual world is now flooded with advice on parenting—dictating how to be a mother or father, what to eat, and how to live. Shetty's remarks didn't sit well with many, sparking backlash across social media platforms, including Reddit. Several users expressed disappointment and anger, calling his views regressive and out of touch with the realities of modern parenting and gender roles. Social Media Backlash While one user wrote, 'He needs to stop talking', another one added, 'Sometimes being quiet is the wisest thing, doesn't their PR team advice them ? or even people around them … Bro should learn from his damad (son-in-law)'. A user also commented, 'Don't get deceived by his looks or the kind of roles they play. Suniel is ultimately 60+ and has a mindset similar to many people in his age group. This stands true for his contemporaries too'. A user also commented, 'Still unacceptable. My dad's 65+ and more feminist than any of the men I know'. One mentioned, 'He has turned out to be such an unlikable person.' Earlier this year, Suniel Shetty faced criticism for his controversial comment about the 'comfort' of C-sections, after praising his daughter Athiya for opting for a natural delivery. Actor Gauahar Khan strongly reacted to his statement, calling it misinformed and irresponsible—especially coming from someone who hasn't experienced childbirth firsthand.
