Talking about a comment Actress Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya saw recently on social media, she said that a woman’s clothing should be according to what suits her best.
Divyanka had hosted a crime-based show on Sony TV named Crime Patrol. She was questioned by a user on social media recently, “Crime petrol episode me aap dupataa kyu nahi pahanati hai”, to which she replied, “Taaki aap jaise bin dupatte ki ladkiyon ko bhi izzat se dekhne ki aadat dalein!”
Although enraged, she had not felt anything new as a celebrity is always under the microscope.
“As celebrities, we’re bound to catch the eye of many and are constantly under the radar. I, however, have always been against trolls who specifically target women. I teach them how to be. It’s not that I’m a hardcore feminist… I believe in equal treatment for men and women,” she says.
“When the troll questioned me about the absence of my Dupatta, it triggered me because what I was preaching in the show was an absolute opposite of it,” the actress added.
She further said, “Social norms differ according to regions and surroundings. Besides, a lot also depends on one’s learning through growing up years. So, no one can truly say what dress or behaviour is right or wrong. World is grey that way.”
Divyanka Tripathi is also unhappy about how women are treated and attacked. “It really annoys me that during discussions on such topics, women are the first target for correction. I feel, if a person finds a dress inappropriate, they must work on getting some world exposure,” she said.
