In a pivotal scene from Dil Dhadakne Do, Rahul Bose’s character reflects on his family’s past, acknowledging the patriarchal norms that restricted women’s roles.
However, when he proudly mentions allowing his wife to work, Farhan Akhtar’s character challenges this notion of equality. He rightly points out that true equality isn’t about granting permission; it’s about recognizing and respecting each other’s autonomy and agency.
This thought-provoking exchange prompts us to reconsider what it truly means to advocate for gender equality in every aspect of our lives.
