Mira Rajput recently gave a statement about being a housewife in one of her interviews. She talked about her life as a wife and mother. Mrs Shahid Kapoor discussed motherhood and how she is happy to sacrifice everything to be a homemaker.
She further said, “I have a set of responsibilities on my plate and my future is ahead of me. I can finish all my responsibilities and then I will have nothing in my way. And then I can raise my daughter, be a good wife, and set up my home the way I like. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
She added, “I don’t want to spend one hour in the day with my child and then rush off to work. Why did I have her then? I want to be there for her as a mother. Seeing her grow up can’t be quantified.”
Her comments about being a ‘good house wife’ did not settle well with many people and they took to Twitter to respond to her ignorance.
@MiraRajput #MiraRajput @shahidkapoor jst because a mom has a career doesn’t mean she is raising a kid poorly or like a puppy!

If a woman chooses her career over marriage, it is empowerment. If she chooses motherhood over career, that’s also empowerment. #MiraRajput

#MiraRajput it’s important to take you down, I wonder what you will teach your daughter- not to be independent? Or live off a man? (1/2)

Some Twitter users also criticised her for posting a Women’s day greeting after bashing on working women.
@MiraRajput How can you wish power to women one day and thrash them the next for having a career?
