 "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:
