    Does it really matter whether he is crying as an actor or as Aamir. What matters most is his message.

    So good to read a story with a message. Need more like you Mr Khan, as the need for celebrities who have a social conscience, is long.

    Irony is while a ruling political party creates divide they are here to stay longer and an actor activist showing mirror to people about right and wrong should leave India. Hats off!

    Ok, a few points I would like to make:
    Raksha, the journalist , comes across as too sceptical, unfairly so.Dangal faced criticism for being partriarchal because the father forced his daughters into wrestling. First of all, Dangal tells the true story about the wrestler Mahavi Phogat and his journey in transforming two village girls ( who would otherwise have been married off at 14 years) into international level award winning wrestlers. The father did not have sons, saw the potential in his daughters and steered them to success in his field. He is seen telling his protesting wife that he would try the experiment for a year and then stop if the girls did not make the cut. He is also shown as being respectful and loving to his wife.WHERE is the misogyny? In real life you also see fathers driving their sons towards success in a chosen field. It is simply human nature to steer children towards potential success. No way was Dangal a partriarchal anti- woman film! Quite the opposite in fact.
    In the early years of his career Aamir was part of some mindless Bollywood with bits of misogyny - but compared to many other actors, his part has been minimal.As his fan through years, I remember one of these early films - Dil. But from late nineties Aamir’s films have been sensitive and sensible for the most part.
    I have watched all episodes of Satyamev Jayate through three seasons, from 2012 to 2015. Their range of topics went beyond women’s issues. But each was a gem, things one could relate to daily life. They are available on the web.
    Even Aamir’s latest film, Secret Superstar - is a sort of statement against domestic abuse of women. Pity that Raksha could not care to mention this point in Aamir’s favour.
    We need to encourage and support people like Aamir, not mock.

    The person in green shirt (multimedia journalist), why is it so hard to acknowledge the good people do? I think Aaamir Khan deserves more respect for what he has done and make no mistake, all this made his life very miserable and put himself and family in danger!

    I find it ironic that there are people like Raksha who are criticizing Aamir Khan for taking a stand and using his immense celebrity for doing some good and wanting to bring Social change . It appears that in his country he would be more admired for just flashing his wealth like other Bollywood stars rather than the work he is doing on a social front.

    His show is complete BS. He shows all the unproven allegations as a fact misguiding the audience. My ex-wife had filed dowry case against me and my entire family. They dragged case for 3 years. They didnt even come to court to prove their allegations. When time came to prove they started demanding the compensation to withdraw the cases. Finally we had to settle for compensation bcus we dont wanted to waste rest of our life running around the court.

    Why only Women are oppressed even men are also oppressed, if you see in Western Countries Women can take divorce anytime from husband and husband has to pay for rest of his life Alimony and Child support, Women can come anytime Women can go anytime, even after marriage even if Husband is waiting for her she doesn't have to come home or she can go out and dance with anyone, the man or husband can not even ask her.
    Here in this case yes Women are getting problems but what about men who are suffering, there is not a single documentary about it, it is sad.
    Not only Women, men are also equal, if you see in England, US etc men commit suicides because of financial problems they go through because of just loving or marrying a bad Woman.
    That's why I say to men - never marry any Woman, "girlfriend is cheaper than Wife or Ex-Wife and Condoms or Contraceptives are cheaper than Child support", never marry and never have any child up until you see and observe her for at least 10-15 yrs.
    I interviewed many men in US when I was living there, who literally cried because of the financial mayhem their Ex-Wives or Girlfriends left for them. Men - its not worth to marry or have Children when you yourselves are not safe.
    Someone asked me do you suggest the same for your mother and sisters (this is the utmost use of emotional blackmail, but I knew I would get this question), I said, I don't care, because if my Sisters want to follow the rules of marriage they will marry otherwise they would become girlfriends of somebody, why would I stop or force her/them from doing anything.
    Its easy for anybody to become popular by supporting a Woman, do somebody become popular by supporting any man?
    Gender discrimination is happening with men too, if any couple goes to anybody, husband is at fault by default until he proves mistake of the Woman or Wife? Isn't that gender discrimination?
    Yes in the above cases men are at fault, but its not fair to create discrimination based upon some cases, men are also suffering, specially in Western Countries or in metro cities of India or any country for that matter. This Western civilization has given very bad reputation for men, when there are many books to understand the Woman's sexuality there is not a single book to understand mans sexuality, why always men have to understand Women why not the other way round, I never saw anyone giving program to understand the issues of men. I think today feminism would be ready to kill many men because all it needs few male species for reproduction. Even though I consider both of them as Humans, but the mans and woman's sexuality are different, in this World mans sexuality is taken as violent where as Women sexuality is taken divine etc, its not true.
    Even though they say and scream Women are equal but when man can't make living or earn food, he is subject to discrimination, there are many men who treat Women nicely (I don't know if they treat equal or not) and provide them everything, if man sits home and woman make living or earn bread - we all know what can we expect from Wife or other people around us.
    Men its my suggestion never marry anyone - no matter whatever is the case don't marry and don't have kids until you see her up to 10-15 yrs.

    • @Hamsaviews
      @Hamsaviews Před 6 lety

      Right on, you've got it. Let's count how many women after divorce are giving half their pays for ex-husband to stay home to repair his PTSD. Baw, I saw let's not talk about gender equality, let's talk about justification for certain behaviours that 90% of people agree is simply beastly.

    • @aleem076
      @aleem076 Před 6 lety

      Yes I agree beastliness is wrong, but putting whole financial burden on men is also wrong, if its equal why only men have to give Child Support, why not women?
      But if you say men should never look at Women with intentions of sex at all is also wrong, its the characteristic male species that it tries to seduce or initiate sexual act, if that's wrong why then men, kill all men.
      So these women who are saying all these things used their body or were fine with men who they later on sue of sexual assault appeal. If man and woman had sex with consent and baby came out I think both should pay equal, I mean kids time should be shared equally and nobody has to pay a damn, because both have enjoyed the act. If Islamic laws are wrong, then why is it right when it says man only has to pay for Child support, because it considers Woman is dependent financially on men. I like Western idea of man and woman being equal that's why both should share equal hours and nobody pays nobody, that's it but the Problem is even in Western societies financial burden is only put on men, why?, are they supporting the Islamic ideology of Women as dependent?
      There maybe few Women who are paying their male spouses, the numbers are very less., almost negligible.

    • @aleem076
      @aleem076 Před 6 lety

      The problem here is Mans sexual urge is considered as violent, animosity when woman's urge is considered divine, why? When mans urge comes quick and disturbs him a lot womans urge is more like receptive, first of all why only men have to understand women, why not other ways round too. If a woman is not available its the tendency of the man (or male species) to go out and fulfill from outside, if woman is not available then don't blame man of infidelity, because she is not available. Just like if there is no female Dog available male Dogs go out to find one, same thing with roosters, human also same thing, the bottom-line is humans came from animals, we also have the same Characteristics of animals.
      In Western countries even if she is married she doesn't have to come home if husband is waiting for her, what will he do if she is not available, what will male Dog will do if female Dog is not available, it goes out, then why is it infidelity if man does the same?
