Rani Mukerji's Parenting Take Sparks Debate

Actress Rani Mukerji has found herself at the center of a controversy following recent remarks about parenting and gender roles. In a discussion about how children learn respect at home, Mukerji stated that a father's behavior towards the mother significantly shapes a son's perspective.

She elaborated that witnessing a mother being ill-treated could lead boys to believe other girls can be treated similarly. Mukerji stressed that fathers must be responsible for their actions at home, as boys learn from observing them. A particularly debated point was her assertion that mothers should be the ones to raise their voices at fathers, suggesting a reversal of traditional dynamics.

Adding to the discussion, Mukerji recalled an incident from her school days where she slapped a boy. She also humorously referenced her husband, filmmaker Aditya Chopra, implying he experiences similar discipline at home. These comments, shared online, have led to widespread criticism on social media platforms, with users questioning her views.

In related comments, Mukerji also touched upon motherhood and generational differences with her daughter Adira, joking about Gen Alpha's assertiveness. Meanwhile, the actress is preparing for the release of her film Mardaani 3 this Friday.
