Actor, former cricketer and father of Yuvraj Singh, Yograj Singh, recently revisited his old statement where he had said, “If you give the command of the house in a woman’s hand, the house would be disordered.” In a new interaction, Yograj clarified what he meant by those remarks and elaborated on why he believes fathers play an important role in raising children. Yograj told Highbrow Studios, “I have always given women a high status, but men and women have different jobs. When a child is in the mother’s womb, God takes care of him or her. What does the mother know about what is going on inside? The mother is not a mechanic going inside and working; it is God who is working. The child cries after coming into the world because his finger was released from God.” He added, “In that love language, God says that he has kept a father for him in the world who will write his destiny and a mother to whom he or she will be born. The child only stops crying after the mother hugs him. That’s a mother’s power. Then a father picks him up. The father who can’t write his child’s story or make his future doesn’t deserve to be called a father. A man who can’t take care of his wife doesn’t deserve to be a husband. A woman can’t take care of a house, the head of that house is a man and only he can take care of the house. A man should do his duty and a woman should do hers. If you do this, one can never go wrong in life.” Yograj Singh also reflected on his parents’ deep bond despite their age gap. He said, "My mother was 42 years younger than my father. My father was 60, my mom was 19 when they got married. I never saw the kind of love I saw between them anywhere else. They lived for each other and died for each other. But a woman's work is done by her, and a man's work is done by him." Talking about his own family, he said, “I am the head of my family - my way, my rules, my regulations.” Sharing his views on what he considers an ideal partner, Yograj stated, “No kitty parties. A woman should have a dupatta on her head. They should follow the rituals that elders have taught.” Yograj Singh also shared that he had advised his daughter not to do anything that would bring dishonour to the family. “People might find me wrong, but no one crosses the line with me in my family. I told my daughter that if my turban gets stained, then you see. I told my daughter and wife, you are the honour of my family, my turban shouldn’t get stained because of you, or else I will give my life. What’s wrong in that?” he said.
