Suniel Shetty
has once again found himself at the centre of a social media storm. His recent comments about marriage and parenting roles—suggesting wives should focus on raising children while husbands build their careers—have drawn sharp criticism online, with many accusing the actor of promoting regressive views.
Views on Modern Marriages
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Suniel shared his views on modern-day marriages, suggesting that today's generation lacks patience in relationships. He explained that, over time, marriage becomes a compromise that requires mutual understanding and commitment. His remarks have stirred conversation and drawn mixed responses on social media.
Netizens Call Out Sexist Undertones
He further stated that once a child is born, it's important for the wife to understand that if the husband is focusing on building his career, she should primarily take care of the child.
While he acknowledged the husband's role as well, he emphasized that modern life comes with a lot of pressure.
The actor, who is gearing up for the new season of Hunter: Tootega Nahi Todega, admitted that much has changed over the years. He pointed out how the virtual world is now flooded with advice on parenting—dictating how to be a mother or father, what to eat, and how to live.
Shetty's remarks didn't sit well with many, sparking backlash across social media platforms, including Reddit.
Several users expressed disappointment and anger, calling his views regressive and out of touch with the realities of modern parenting and gender roles.
Social Media Backlash
While one user wrote, 'He needs to stop talking', another one added, 'Sometimes being quiet is the wisest thing, doesn't their PR team advice them ? or even people around them … Bro should learn from his damad (son-in-law)'. A user also commented, 'Don't get deceived by his looks or the kind of roles they play.
Suniel is ultimately 60+ and has a mindset similar to many people in his age group. This stands true for his contemporaries too'.
A user also commented, 'Still unacceptable. My dad's 65+ and more feminist than any of the men I know'. One mentioned, 'He has turned out to be such an unlikable person.'
Earlier this year, Suniel Shetty faced criticism for his controversial comment about the 'comfort' of C-sections, after praising his daughter Athiya for opting for a natural delivery. Actor Gauahar Khan strongly reacted to his statement, calling it misinformed and irresponsible—especially coming from someone who hasn't experienced childbirth firsthand.
