Actress Ridhi Dogra finally breaks the silence, raising concerns over the rising heart-wrenching incidents happening to boys and girls after their marriage amid the internet buzzing following Twisha Sharma’s mysterious dowry death case.
On May 22, Ridhi shared a couple of pictures with the caption, “It’s a changing world. Over the past few years, a lot of heart-wrenching incidents have happened to boys and girls after marriage. And no one is guiding us to understand the change in social and psychological conditions.
So it’s upon us to tell each other.”
However, in the post, Ridhi penned valuable advice highlighting that boys need to understand that girls will no longer follow whatever is ordered, as they are now independent and strong, so both girls and boys need to understand each other. She said, “Young Girls. And young boys. It’s 2026.
Please stop romanticizing marriage. The age of your parents and the world they grew up in has expired.
Marriage is not the same.
Boys should know that girls will Not do what you ask them to blindly.
Because laws etc has empowered them.
Today, They can get a job/a place to stay/an income and live peacefully in society. So they don’t need to follow you and your orders like lambs.
Girls don’t need marriage for survival. For companionship. Yes. But not for dependency.
Even if they wish to …out of love… Their individuality will try and knock their head time and again.
They will be frustrated because the world has changed.”
She further added, “And girls pls don’t expect your boyfriends to become Mr Prince Charming after marriage. They are human too and are figuring this new world out. It’s more new for them because they have seen men being men. But society norms have shifted and what was required of them earlier has changed too.
Pls don’t expect any fairy tale.
Educate yourself. Live for your self. And please stand up for yourself. Don’t expect anyone to come and stand up for you.
Marry each other for love and respect. Marry a person you love as a PERSON. And pls keep your parents out of your life. And if you can’t live life without including others. It’s a crowd. A respectful union of marriage is between two
Never more.”
In the other pic, she wrote, “The term Feminism has been reduced to shit.
But true feminism is just equality. Thats it. Nothing more and nothing less.
When I speak for girls I also speak for boys. When I argue for mental Health. It’s for both genders.”
And concluded saying, “Feminism was never about putting men down.
Yes it’s started all Loud and angry because that’s how every revolution starts.
That’s not how it is today.
Today women have opportunities. Times have changed. What every woman fought for is existing in practice.
Let’s also never forget…..
We are from the land of Shiv and Shakti. Both go together. And the only way that happens With love and respect for yourself and for the other.
Let there be Grace and Dignity. For both.
Equally.”
