Soha Ali Khan on Gender Discrimination in Society

Soha Ali Khan, a Bollywood actor, recently talked about how society often expects families to have a son, even in well-educated and affluent families.

She shared that despite being happy with her daughter, she feels like she is disappointing someone by not having a son.

Dr Arohi Vardhan, a psychiatrist, explained that this bias can cause emotional struggles for parents and perpetuate gender inequality.

She suggested ways to cope with this negativity, such as promoting equality, respecting individual aspirations, and having scheduled family time.

Rutuja Walawalkar, a psychologist, emphasized the importance of emotional readiness when having a child, rather than just focusing on age or financial stability.

She also mentioned that societal pressures can lead to stress and conflict in relationships.
