Neena Gupta BREAKS Silence on ‘Faltu Feminism’ Comment: 'If One Person Is Cursing Me for Then...'
Neena Gupta clarified her stand after her her 'faltu feminist' statement drew flak.

Neena Gupta has reacted to the backlash she has been receiving for her ‘faltu feminist’ comment. Earlier this month, a small portion of her podcast interview with Ranveer Allahbadia was shared online in which Neena said it is not necessary for women to believe in the idea of feminism. “I want to say that it’s not necessary to believe in faltu feminism or the idea that women are equal to men,” she said at the time. In a new interview, Neena clarified her stand. She also said the team purposely carried that bit of the chat to create a controversy.

Speaking with The Indian Express, Neena said, “What they did is that they only used that chunk from the whole interview for promotions, to create a controversy. It said that I don’t believe in ‘faltu feminism’, and after that people are fighting amongst each other. If one person is cursing me for saying that, someone else says, ‘What do you know? Watch the whole interview’. There should be a reference to what I said.”

The Lust Stories star added she has been concious about what she puts on social media. “I have made mistakes a couple of times. Many of us do. I now make sure that I don’t post anything on social media if I am angry, or if I’ve had a fight with someone. One should also not post if they are drunk, because if you do, then you regret it later. Thoda sambhalna padta hai (You have to be careful). You have to use the right language because a lot of people are listening to what you say. I have goofed up big time too,” Neena added.

On the work front, this year, the veteran actor starred in projects such as Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway and Vishal Bhardwaj’s web series Charlie Chopra and The Mystery Of Solang Valley. That apart, she featured in R Balki’s short film Lust Stories 2. Neena Gupta also has Anurag Basu’s Metro In Dino lined up.
