Richa Chadha calls out Nora Fatehi, says her interpretation of feminism is “misguided”

In a recent interview with Puja Talwar, Richa Chadda, when asked about Nora Fatehi’s take on feminism, called it ‘really a not real understanding’. “The cute thing about feminism is that it accepts those that seek the benefits of feminism but deny being a feminist. The reason why someone is able to have a career, choose what they want to wear, work where they want to be independent, have those choices is because of feminism and because of predecessors who decided that women need to be out there working jobs, not just being at home. So, I think it’s a misguided reaction to the visual of some misinformed bra-burning chaos from the late ’60s. It’s not really a real understanding,” she answered.

Nora Fatehi earlier appeared on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast where she said, “This idea of I don’t need anybody. Feminism. I don’t believe in this sh*t. In fact, I think, feminism f**ked up our society. The idea of being inherently completely independent and not having to get married and have kids and not having the male and female dynamics at home where the man is the provider, a breadwinner and the woman is the nurturer. I don’t believe in people who think that’s not true. I think women are nurturers, yes, they should go to work and have their own life and be independent but to a certain extent.”

Nora also added, “They should also be ready to take on the role of being a mother, a wife and a nurturer. Just like a man should be ready to take the role of being a provider, a breadwinner and a father and a husband. We call it an old-school, traditional way of thinking. I call it the normal way of thinking. It’s just that feminism fucked it up a little bit. We are all equal in more sentimental things but in societal things, we are not equal. Feminism inherently, on the base level, is great. I also advocate for women’s rights. I also want girls to go to school. However, when feminism becomes radical, it becomes dangerous for the society.”

Richa Chadha has always been very vocal when comes the feminism and women’s issues. In the interview she contradicted with Fatehi’s statement and told that she didn’t fully agree with it. “All roles are defined, not as gender roles, but as, just as people who are sharing the responsibility of bringing a child into the world. And I don’t fully agree with this, women should be this way. And not this way. I’m surprised it was said at all, actually,” she said.

Both the actors have recently been seen on the screen. While Nora was recently seen in Kunal Kemmu’s directorial debut Madgaon Express, Richa was greatly appreciated by the viewers for her role as Lajjo in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi.

Shreyas Talpade expresses disappointment with after sales service for his Audi Q7; calls it horrid experience

Shreyas Talpade, a well-known Indian actor, has expressed his disappointment with Audi India’s after-sales service on X, formerly known as Twitter. In a series of tweets, Talpade recounted a “horrid” experience he has had with his new Audi Q7, which he purchased in January 2024.

Talpade’s frustration appears to stem from both the car itself and the customer service he has received while trying to get the issues resolved. He describes the team as “seemingly trying” but ultimately unsuccessful in addressing the problems. He wrote, “Dear @AudiIN @AudiOfficial Since the time we bought our new Audi Q7 this January end, we’ve had a horrid horrid experience not only with the car but also the team who is seemingly ‘trying’ to resolve the issue. Can you pls help us with someone with the right Authority who can help us resolve the same.”

who can help us resolve the same. I guess this is the least we can expect now, from a brand like yours, after having gone through a horrible experience in the last 3 months. We’ve been loyal Audi customers for several years now but really disappointed with this experience. (2/3)
— Shreyas Talpade (@shreyastalpade1) May 9, 2024

In his tweets, Talpade emphasizes his loyalty to the Audi brand, stating that he has been a customer for “several years.”  He expresses his hope that this is not how Audi typically treats its loyal customers. The actor concludes his tweets by requesting a response “ASAP” from Audi, indicating a desire for a swift resolution to the matter. He added, “I guess this is the least we can expect now, from a brand like yours, after having gone through a horrible experience in the last 3 months. We’ve been loyal Audi customers for several years now but really disappointed with this experience.”

While the specific nature of the problems Talpade is facing with his Q7 is not mentioned in the tweets, his public expression of dissatisfaction is likely to draw attention to the issue.
