Rani Mukerji has sparked a lively online discussion following her recent interview where she addressed the significance of respect in families and the role of parental behavior in shaping children. While promoting her upcoming film, *Mardaani 3*, Rani shared her insights on family dynamics, leading to mixed reactions from social media users.
Discussing the impact of parents on their children’s development, Rani stated, “Respect begins at home. When boys witness their mothers being mistreated, it sends a message that it’s acceptable to treat girls similarly.” She emphasized the importance of fathers being mindful of their treatment towards their wives, noting that these behaviors influence young boys’ perceptions.
However, her subsequent remark stirred controversy. “There’s no place for a father to raise his voice at the mother. Instead, the mother should assert herself,” she declared, which led to a variety of responses online.
In a lighter moment, Rani humorously recounted her past, mentioning her husband, Aditya Chopra, saying, “I only slapped one boy in my youth; the rest were just friends. And don’t ask my husband what happens at home!” she laughed.
Reactions from netizens varied widely. Some took her comments lightly, while others expressed concern about normalizing raised voices in relationships. One user pointedly remarked, “Why should anyone raise their voice? Communication should always be calm.” Another added, “Normalizing shouting, regardless of who does it, is troubling.”
Despite the backlash, Rani remains dedicated to her career, gearing up to reprise her role as the fearless cop Shivani Shivaji Roy in *Mardaani 3*. She has consistently advocated for women’s safety and empowerment, although her recent comments have clearly sparked debate across social platforms.
