What Tanishaa Mukerji said about women dating married men
Taking to X, Tanishaa shared her thoughts on relationships involving married people and wrote, “My thoughts – women who have affairs with married men are not feminists. In fact, they are against women! Because being with someone’s husband is disrespecting the wife. The man is to blame too. He lacks character! And women who chase married men are just evil! They should not be role models to our children! #feminist #genz I said what I said! #boundaries (sic).”The actress’s comments quickly attracted attention, with the discussion extending beyond infidelity to questions about feminism, personal boundaries and accountability in relationships.
Journalist Richa Lakhera challenges Tanishaa’s argument
While some social media users supported Tanishaa’s position, journalist Richa Lakhera disagreed with the actress and questioned the difference in the language she used to describe the man and the woman involved.Responding to Tanishaa’s post, Lakhera wrote, “So ‘lacking character’ is the worst you’ve got for him, but she’s ‘evil’ and unfit to be a role model. The girl made no vow. She broke no promise. The husband’s the one who stood at an altar, said the words, and then went and broke them. That’s not ‘lacking character’; that’s real betrayal. Full stop.”Lakhera further argued that the responsibility for upholding marital vows lies with the person who made them. She wrote, “Calling the other woman ‘evil’ while letting the vow-breaker off with a soft little ‘he’s not perfect either’ isn’t a boundary. It’s a script that says men ‘get weak’ and women get to be villains. The one who owed loyalty and threw it away is the one who did the disrespecting. Say that with the same energy.”
