Rani Mukerji is in the news these days for her much-awaited film Mardaani 3. She has been giving numerous interviews in connection with the film. In her latest interview with Bollywood Hungama the actress spoke openly about home relationships and gender roles which sparked controversy. She said that whatever a child does they learn it from home. In a recent statement Rani Mukerji said that respect for women begins at home. She added that children learn from what they see in their own households. If a boy sees his mother being scolded by his father he may come to believe that such behaviour toward women is acceptable. She emphasised that it is the father’s responsibility to treat his wife with respect at home. When an emphasised mother is respected children learn this behaviour and in turn begin to respect women in society as well. Rani said I think respect starts at home. Very easily when you see your mother being ill-treated it empowers boys to think that if my mother can be treated like this every other girl can be treated the same way. I think fathers need to be responsible for how they treat their wives at home because that’s what a boy grows up seeing. If your mother is treated well if she’s given respect boys will understand that women are supposed to be given that respect and that darja in society. She added “So it all starts at home. Even a small thing like a father raising his voice at the mother shouldn’t happen. You know the mother should raise her voice at the father that’s how it should be. She also shared an anecdote from her school days where she once slapped a boy. Only one boy I slapped and the rest of the boys were my friends. And just don’t go and ask my husband what happens to him every day at home revealed Rani.
