Suniel Shetty slammed again ‘husband career banaega' remark: ‘He should just stop talking'
What did Suniel say
During an interview with Pinkvilla, Suniel was asked about how the meaning of marriage has changed over the years. Suniel said, 'Aaj kal bachon mein patience hai hi nahi. Shaadi kuch time ke baad ek samjhauta hota hai, where you have to understand each other, live for each other. (Kids these days have no patience. Marriage, after a while, becomes a compromise, where you have to understand each other and live for one another).'
He added, 'Phir ek bacha aata hai, aur patni ko yeh jaan na zaruri hai ki husband career banayega toh bache ko main dekh rahi hoon. Husband, of course, saath mein dekhega. Par aaj kal sab cheezon mein pressure bohot ho gaya hai. (Then a child comes into the picture, and the wife needs to understand that if the husband is building his career, she will need to take care of the child. Of course, the husband will also be involved. But these days, there is just too much pressure in everything)."
Suniel, who will be seen in new season of Hunter Tootega Nahi Todega, admitted a lot has changed over the years, mentioning how virtual medium is giving tips 'how to be a mother, how to be a father, what to eat, and what to do'.
Social media users slam him
Several people were offended by his statement and took to social media platforms, including Reddit, to express anger over his views.
'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),' one wrote, with another sharing, 'Don't get deceived by his looks or kind of role they play, Sunil is ultimately 60+ and has a mindset similar to many poeple in his age group.'
'Still unacceptable. My dad's 65+ and more feminist than any of the men I know,' read one comment. One mentioned, 'He has turned out to be such an unlikable person.'
'Typical indian uncle mindset..not surprised,' one wrote, with another slamming, 'So he's a typical misogynist'.
An angry social media user wrote, 'The more he speaks, the more despicable he gets. Misogynist prick! Their true colours.'
'After natural birth warrior story he is back with a male chauvinism anecdote! Seriously he should just stop talking,' one wrote.
Earlier this year, Suniel was called out for his 'comfort of C-section' remark. Gauahar Khan also slammed him for the same. Suniel had he praised his daughter Athiya for not opting for a C-section. Gauahar said, 'A what? I want to like scream at the top of my voice and say, How could you say that? Like how? There are so many myths around this topic — that if someone is having a C-section, it's the easier option. How can there be so much misinformation? and for a male celebrity to say that, who didn't go through pregnancy, didn't carry a child, doesn't know how painful C-section is.'
Suniel Shetty is married to Mana. They share two kids together: Athiya Shetty and Ahan Shetty.

She had said, "When my daughter turned 16, I was thinking about gifting her a sex toy or a vibrator. When I discussed with her, and she responded, 'Mom, have you lost it?' I told her to think about how many mothers would come and ask their daughters why don't I give you such gifts? Why not experiment?. Best Feminist Mother of the Year Award goes to Gautami Kapoor She went on to add, 'What my mom didn't do with me, I want to do with my daughter. I want her to experience everything. A lot of women go through life without experiencing the pleasures of it. Why be in that situation? Today, my daughter is 19 and appreciates the fact that I had that thought and respects me for that.'

Gen Z Rejects Hustle Culture, Viral Post Sparks Debate On Work-Life Balance
The GenZ, short for Generation Z, is known for its straightforward communication, especially in the corporate world, where toxic hustle culture is often glorified. Now, an Instagram user has shared their experience at the workplace where they were asked to stay beyond the routine hours. While the Gen Z employee refused to stay after working hours, their action has led to intense debate on social media. "I was leaving for home from the office, and my reporting manager told me, 'There's a bit more work, Shatakshi, I'm assigning it to you.' I told him, 'No sir, I need to leave on time today'," said the user. "I want to leave on time, it's not like I'm trying to leave early. I've completed my working hours-I just don't want to stay extra, because I'm fasting today," they added. Afterwards, the manager replied saying they had not left the office, despite having been involved in a train journey last night. "You know what? I was on a train last night, reached at 7 in the morning, came to the office by 7:30, and I'm still here at 6:30 in the evening. Fine, you've given your time to work-okay, you can go home." The user then gives a lengthy critique about the modern-day corporate culture, where work-life balance remains a dream for many. "A person works to earn two meals a day, but if they can't even eat those meals in peace, then what's the point? Glorifying struggle unnecessarily, why is that important? What the hell is this? Why do you have to glorify it? Killing yourself with overwork is not something to be proud of. I don't agree with this. I don't care if you fire me from the job, but I'm not okay with it." 'This is classic behaviour' As of the last update, the video had garnered nearly three million views and hundreds of comments, with social media users mixed in their responses. A section of users agreed with her assessment, whilst others said the reality was different. "I love how Gen Z is not up for it. They are outspoken, know their rights and are actually not afraid to apply. I wish I was like that in my early 20s," said one user while another added: "This is classic behaviour! The whole comparison game is pretty much in every office. To make you feel guilty and make you stay longer." A third commented, "People are not glorifying anything. They are just doing everything to keep their jobs. Soon you realise that you'll have to outperform your direct competition which is your colleague.' A fourth said: "If I saw one of my staff posting videos whining about work instead of addressing with the seniors, I would not think twice before letting the person go." Last month, an employer at an artificial intelligence (AI) startup shared their experience of working with a Gen Z intern when the latter asked for leave, stating they weren't 'feeling the vibe'. In a viral Reddit post titled 'Corporate world is not ready for GenZ', the user shared the nonchalant leave application by the intern. The OP said the language of the mail was 'quite fascinating', but appreciated the new class of workers for being honest about their intentions. In the end, the user ended up approving the leave for the intern.
