Mini Mathur Wants Men To Stop Asking Women About Having Kids Commenting On Her Physical Features

During the chat, Mini was asked what should men stop telling to women. In response, Mini said, “Commenting on physicality. Are you feeling tired? Did you not get sleep? Did you put on weight? Oh you lost weight? What happened? From both sides, men and women… it is bad to comment like that. When did I give you permission to shorten this distance between you and me? That you are seeing my body and commenting about it?”

She went on to add, “Maintain some physical proximity. Asking women, what about kids? Have one more kid. It is great fun… Apni advice apne paas rakhiye (Keep your advice to yourself). When asked, only then respond. And stop calling people housewife, homemaker! That irritates me. I am a homemaker, and I work but I am a homemaker with great pride. So don't look at me and dare ask why am I not working? I am working on many things you don't even know!”

Mini Mathur began her television career with Tol Mol Ke Bol with R Madhavan, before becoming an MTV VJ for many years.
