Actress Malti Chahar, known for her bond with Pranit More on ‘Bigg Boss 19,’ recently spoke out against the controversial ₹370 biryani remark made on a comedy show. She expressed concern that such attitudes contribute to women feeling discouraged about marriage.
In a social media post, Malti emphasized the importance of a woman’s consent, criticizing the notion that it is equivalent to the cost of a plate of biryani. The remark in question came from a 23-year-old individual who linked his payment for biryani on a date to expecting a “return” on his investment.
Malti’s post also addressed the broader issue of consent and the necessity for women to achieve financial independence. She highlighted how societal attitudes, as reflected in media content, impact women’s perceptions and choices, advocating for respect and understanding of consent.
Malti urged mothers to educate their sons on respecting women and valuing consent, emphasizing the role of media in shaping cultural norms and its real-world implications for women.
