Suniel Shetty Sparks Debate: ‘Women Should Raise Kids If Husbands Are Working’

Bollywood star Suniel Shetty is under fire after saying that in marriage, if the husband is focused on building his career, it’s vital for the wife to step into the primary role of caring for the child. He argued that today’s generation lacks patience and emphasized learning parenting from traditional sources like family elders over social media advice. His comments reignited outrage just months after he faced criticism for praising his daughter Athiya Shetty for choosing natural childbirth over a C-section. Social media erupted with backlash, calling his views regressive and sexist. Many users condemned it as outdated—a reinforcement of patriarchal expectations. Shetty’s earlier remarks on childbirth drew broad outrage and prompted an apology. This latest controversy only deepens the debate around gender roles and expectations in modern relationships.
