83: Deepika Padukone Accused Of Encouraging Patriarchy For ‘Every Woman Who Puts Her Husband’s Dream Before Her Own’ Post
Deepika Padukone’s message that she shared with her first look from 83 hasn’t gone down well with the netizens, who are accusing the actress of promoting patriarchy
We don't need women to put their dreams on the back burner. Agree the movie is set in the '80s but her sacrifice is not her achievement. Romanticising the idea of a woman behind a man is common practice in Indian cinema, please let's not glorify it for the sake of promotion.

This glorification of stories where a woman “puts her husband’s dream before her own” is exhausting. I am tired of having to see women give up their own dreams and aspirations for their husbands, and I am even more tired of the cinema industry acting as if it’s a good thing.

I don't quite agree with every woman putting her dream before the one's her husband has. It's an ancient school of thought. Please don't squash the dreams of millions of girls who dream to be like you one day. Stop making them feel that at the end of the day they won't matter.

Excuse me, but this is not an ode, for always the dreams of women were not considered important, because the man was always the main one, and the woman was only his shadow ....

@deepikapadukone we aren't in '83 anymore. Patriarchy is dying; let's look for those husbands who put their wife's dream before their own, in the new millenia?

Will you out your career behind to promote your spouse career ?

good god, "every woman who puts her husband’s dream before her own" has been happening since the dawn of time and needs to stop. NOW.
