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...'
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.

Kingdom: Who is Bhagyashri Borse? Vijay Deverakonda's heroine has a strong connection with Ajay Devgn
Bhagyashri Borse will soon be seen opposite Vijay Deverakonda in Kingdom, one of the biggest releases of the year. It is slated to hit the screens on July 31 and has created a buzz in the industry with its intense trailer. It also marks Vijay's first collaboration with Bhagyashri, who is regarded as one of Telugu cinema's bright upcoming stars. Born in 1999 in Aurangabad, the self-confessed Shah Rukh Khan fan made her acting debut with the Hindi film Yaariyaan 2 (2023). The young lady was also seen in Chandu Champion with Kartik Aaryan, which did not do well at the box office. Thereafter, she entered Telugu cinema with Mr Bachchan (2024). The film flopped but Bhagyashri emerged as a sensation with her bold screen presence. Interestingly, Mr Bachchan had a special connection with Ajay Devgn. Bhagyashri Borse's first Telugu movie was a remake of Raid Bhagyashri Borse, Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom co-star, made her Tollywood debut with Mr Bachchan. The film was a remake of Ajay Devgn's Raid (2018). Mr Bachchan featured her as the leading lady opposite Ravi Teja and was released last August. Much like Raid, it centred on an Income Tax officer who is tasked with the responsibility of conducting a raid on the mansion of a local political leader. However, unlike Devgn's version, it featured commercial elements and a full-fledged romantic sub-plot. Mr Bachchan was directed by Harish Shankar and also featured Jagapathi Babu in a key role. It failed to meet the standards set by the Bollywood hit and ended up being a disaster. Shot on a budget of Rs 70 crore, Mr Bachchan earned just Rs 7 crore in its full run (as per Pinkvilla) and also received negative reviews with critics panning the treatment. Are you ready for Kingdom? Coming to the present, Kingdom has the potential to be a game-changer for Bhagyashri. The spy thriller is directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri of Jersey fame. According to reports in the Telugu media, she has a 'meaty' role in the film and it will add depth to the narrative. The plot centres on a constable (played by Vijay Deverakonda) who goes on a mission to rescue/find his brother. Satyadev plays the Arjun Reddy star's brother in the film and something happens to him in Sri Lanka. Kingdom is produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya. Anirudh Ravichander serves as the music director. Kingdom is set to hit the screens on July 31.

In this article, we are predicting the opening day figures of upcoming releases like Son of Sardaar 2, War 2, Dhadak 2, The Raja Saab, and Dhurandhar. Day 1 India net predictions of upcoming movie releases: 1. Son of Sardaar 2: Rs 6.25 crore to Rs 6.75 crore Scheduled to be released on August 1, 2025, Son of Sardaar 2 marks the sequel to the 2012 film, Son of Sardaar. The makers are bringing the sequel after 13 years. The Ajay Devgn starrer is expected to collect in the range of Rs 6.25 crore to Rs 6.75 crore on its opening day. The trailer has received mixed reactions from the audience. Notably, only the song, Pehla Tu Dujha Tu, has created decent hype on social media. It will clash with Dhadak 2. 2. War 2: Rs 55 crore to Rs 57 crore War 2 is among the most highly anticipated movies of 2025. The sequel to War (2019) has been generating massive buzz and hype ahead of its release. The trailer release of the Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, and Jr NTR starrer has further increased the buzz. Despite its clash with Rajnikanth's Coolie, the action thriller is expected to open between Rs 55 crore and Rs 57 crore. Its release date coincides with Independence Day, which can help the movie open well. 3. Dhadak 2: Rs 3.75 crore to Rs 4.25 crore Dhadak 2, which stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, is arriving on August 1, 2025.

The Raja Saab: Rs 10 crore to Rs 12 crore Since horror comedy movies have a wide appeal in Hindi belts, Prabhas' The Raja Saab can do wonders, considering the successful releases like Stree 2 and Munjya. The upcoming Telugu horror comedy boasts big star power. If combined with the horror comedy genre, it can have a massive opening in the Hindi markets. However, its clash with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar can change the game. It is eyeing earnings in the range of Rs 10 crore to Rs 12 crore on its debut day at the box office. 5. Dhurandhar: Rs 21.5 crore to Rs 22.5 crore Starring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and more, Dhurandhar will release on December 5, 2025.
