Mukesh Khanna says '#MeToo began because women started working,' faces backlash on Twitter

Mukesh Khanna, known for his roles in Shaktiman, in a recent interview said that the #MeToo movement started because women began thinking themselves at par with men. The actor also added that it is the duty of women to take care of the household.

In an interview to Filmy Charcha, the actor said women and men are different. He went on to add that the job of a woman is to take care of household works and the problem of #MeToo began when women started working.

"Aaj aurat mard ke saath kandhe se kandha milane ki baat karti hai (Today, women talk about walking shoulder-to-shoulder with their male counterpart),” the actor added.

The actor further said, “Log women’s lib ki baat karenge, lekin main aapko bata doon, problem yahin se shuru hoti hai. (People talk about liberation of women, but let me tell you that the main problem begins from here)."

He said because of this the first person who suffers is their child. It is because the child does not have a mother taking care of him at home.

The actor even went on to say that it all began when women started saying that they want to do what men do. A man is a man and a woman is a woman.

The statement made by the actor was not well received by people who took to social media to lambast Mukesh. Critising his words, one user wrote, "Disgusting mindset," while another wrote, "What a disappointment."

Here's what others wrote:

According to a report by Hindustan Times, Mukhesh Khanna earlier refused to appear in The Kapil Sharma Show with the cast of Mahabharat and said the show was full of double meaning words, taking a turn towards vulgarity with every moment.

He also said that men in the comedy show, men wear women's clothes and do cheap things to make people laugh.

Watch The Sound with Mark Ronson Apple TV+ explores the curious link between music and technology

In The Salmon of Doubt , Douglas Adams writes: “I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary, and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.” Cut to the world of music. As much as technology has been a driving force in the industry, the advent of any innovation has often been received with skepticism before it goes on to become the norm. Harnessing that interplay between the creative process of making music and the technological enhancement given to said music, is acclaimed DJ and producer Mark Ronson. In his just-released six-part mini-docuseries Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson , he astutely defines how different the process of creating a great ...
