Amitabh Bachchan Women Are Never a Burden They’re Pride

In a recent episode of the popular quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ Season 16, the Legendary Bollywood Actor Amitabh Bachchan spoke about gender and society in a very emotional manner. This was during his emotional segment in the show which brought a different outlook on the role of women in society.

A Contestant’s Struggle A Contestant’s Problem

The deliberation took off when contestant Krishna Selukar narrated his problems. Regardless of having an engineering degree, Krishna collapsed from most of his employers during the COVID-19 lockdown. This economic depression was one that he did not quite enjoy which put into his thoughts of the community and employment of individuals in terms of their self-worth.

Krishna compared his position to that of women with no marital ties. He argued that just as spinsters are viewed as a liability, unemployed males are also despised. This analogy is especially troubling because it exemplifies how individuals are treated differently based on their occupation and marital status.

Amitabh Bachchan’s Rejoinder

As it is known that Amitabh Bachchan tends to be quite vocal in his thoughts and smart as a person, he did not back down from Krishna’s remark. He cut through Krishna’s talk and told him something very relevant, ‘Women are never baggage’. They are a source of pride and honor, not a liability. ‘Women are not a liability, in fact’.

Such comments were often made with the intent of debunking common misperceptions about women and inadequacies in family structure. By stating that a girl is never a hindrance, Bachchan more, wanted to turn around such existing false views that all women or unemployed women are of no use to society and hence are looked down upon.

Avoiding Norms and Bringing Changes in Society

In a general context, the remarks made by Bachchan call for concerns that are more than the prevalence and elimination of gender stereotypes. The one which Sri Krishna made in comparison to which Bachchan defended, goes to the issue also of the relationships and aspirations of oneself that are accumulation of societal perceptions and stereotypes.

Although many societies can be violent, if not oppressive towards women and shower unnecessary expectations such as a burden to a woman, the worst marriage and job, the greatest focus is on marriage and employment. As Rahman has said, ‘erstwhile’ is a society we live in contrary to what such perceptions seek to.

The Impact of Public Figures on Opinions

People in the public eye and this case. Celebrities such as Amitabh Bachchan have a firm footing on people’s perspectives and ideals. By talking about these important issues on a public platform such. As “Kaun Banega Crorepati,” Bachchan participates in a wider discourse about gender equity. How everyone is important regardless of their class or income.

He focuses on the need to leverage such mediums to break and change the status quo. As society transforms, other accepted stereotypes can be spoken out and potentially transformed.

Amitabh Bachchan’s comments on the reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ demonstrate. How women can be pushed into submission and not allowed to progress in society in developing countries. By declaring women are never a liability, he dispels damaging myths and argues for an appropriate view of all constituents. Apart from tackling the crucial issue raised by the contestant. His answer bred reactions about gender predicament and expectations in society. A literate and open society must welcome such discussions. If we are to accept that every human being deserves dignity irrespective of the values of the day.
