Nora Fatehi believes men, women ‘not equal’, says feminism ‘f***** up society’; netizens comment, ‘Vanga ko agli heroine milgayi’

Nora also emphasised that women shouldn’t run away from the role of being nurturers. She said, “They should also be ready to take on the role of being a mother, a wife and a nurturer. Just like a man should be ready to take the role of being a provider, a breadwinner and a father and a husband. We call it an old-school, traditional way of thinking. I call it the normal way of thinking. It’s just that feminism f***** it up a little bit. We are all equal in more sentimental things but in societal things, we are not equal. Feminism inherently, on the base level, is great. I also advocate for women’s rights, I also want girls to go to school. However, when feminism becomes radical, it becomes dangerous for the society.”

Nora’s statement sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with some referencing filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is accused of making misogynistic movies like Kabir Singh and Animal, and jokingly suggesting Nora as his next leading lady. One Reddit user wryly remarked, “I am judging silently from a distance. Vanga ki agli heroine milgayi (Vanga got his next heroine).”

Another fan questioned Nora’s stance, highlighting the irony of her advocating traditional gender roles while striving for success in her industry career. He wrote, “Nora Fatehi saying how she believes women should be nurturers and men should be providers, and patriarchy ain’t a bad thing, and feminism has destroyed the society… sitting on a chair, as a woman who is striving to have a better career in the industry every day is ironic.”

On the professional front, Nora is currently enjoying the success of her recent film Madgoan Express, which starred Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu and Avinash Tiwary in lead roles. The film also marked actor Kunal Kemmu’s directorial debut.
