Neena Gupta Says 'Women Need Men', Calls Feminism 'Faltu': 'The Day Men Start Getting Pregnant...'

New Delhi: Neena Gupta, a seasoned actor, has shared her thoughts on feminism. She refuted the feminist ideology, which holds that men and women are equal, arguing that this is untrue because men are incapable of bearing children. Regardless of gender, the actor emphasised the significance of financial independence. She also asserted that "women need men," backing up her claim with a personal anecdote.

During a conversation with Ranveer Allahabadia, Neena said, "I want to say that it’s not necessary to believe in ‘faltu feminism’ or the idea that ‘women are equal to men.’ Instead, focus on achieving financial independence and giving attention to your work. If you’re a housewife, don’t look down on it; it’s an important role. Boost your self-esteem and avoid thinking of yourself as small. That’s the main message I want to convey. Additionally, men and women are not equal. The day men start getting pregnant, that day we will be equal.”

The veteran actor used her experience of having to catch a flight at six in the morning to bolster her claim that "women need men." She said, "I had to catch a flight once at 6 a.m. I did not have a boyfriend at that time. I came out of the house at 4 a.m. and it was dark. A man started following me, I went back to my house and I missed my flight. The next day I booked the same flight. But I stayed at my male friend’s house and he dropped me off. I need a man.”

The performer talked candidly about her desire to become independent of everyone in her life. Neena revealed that she is still striving for independence since she keeps contacting her daughter Masaba and is anxious if she doesn't pick up. She also acknowledged that she gets nervous if her spouse doesn't give her a call.
