Nora Fatehi on feminisim row
Now, the actress, who is in the midst of launching her international career, appeared on YouTuber Lilly Singh’s podcast and addressed the controversy surrounding her earlier comments on feminism. In a past interview, Nora had said that “feminism f***** up our society,” a remark that resurfaced during the Sarke Chunar Tero controversy.
Speaking to Lilly Singh, Nora clarified her stance. “I had a podcast last year where we spoke about feminism, and then certain small clips come out on reels and TikTok, and they get blown up. People miss the context. What I advocate for is that extremism is something I am totally against,” she said.
She also spoke about being raised by a single mother. “I know how important it is to have the presence of two parents, whether it’s a mom and a dad, or two moms or two dads, but a family where you have security, love, attention, and discipline. I advocate for all of that,” she added.
Nora further reflected on missing out on growing up in a two-parent household, saying it may have helped her deal with emotional challenges. “I would have loved to be in a home with two parents because, eventually, that emotional baggage can spill over into adulthood. I would hate for us to live in a world where people don’t care about families anymore,” she said.
She emphasised the need for balance, adding, “I want us to advocate for balance, get your money, fulfil your dreams, and work hard. But at the same time, let’s create an environment where men are accountable and responsible. Why can’t we be independent and still need each other? Why can’t we share and create balance?”
She also noted that men need to become allies, adding that they “aren’t as much right now.”
What did Nora say about feminism?
In 2024, Nora appeared on Ranveer Allahbadia’s YouTube channel, where she shared her views on feminism. She said she did not believe in “the idea of being completely independent and not needing anyone,” and argued that such interpretations of feminism had negatively impacted society.
She added that while women should work, be independent, and have their own lives, she believes in traditional roles to an extent, including the idea of men as providers and women as nurturers.
