‘Women should stay at home’: Tanishaa

Actress Tanishaa also expressed that she wishes her mom wasn’t a working mother, adding that they didn’t have enough money and Tanuja would work two to three shifts. She also shared that “only a mother can raise a child” and no one else. The Neal ‘n’ Nikki actress added, “I just feel that women should be home with their children because only a mother can really teach the child, bring up the child and give the child the nurturing the child needs. Only a mother can do this. You can’t get this from your school, or nanny, or maid. I am not very big on ‘leave your child and go to work.”

She also strongly feels that if one decides to have a child, they should dedicate the first five years of their life to raising them before returning to work.

Tanisha on feminism

Tanisha Mukerji said that she doesn’t believe in feminism because it has come from America. She also feels that India is the least feminist country and that respect for women is ingrained in Hinduism, suggesting that issues related to women’s rights in India are the result of external influences.”
