New Delhi: Hashtag #KarwaChauth started trending on twitter following veteran Bollywood actress Ratna Pathak Shah’s said that society is becoming extremely conservative.
She said India ‘is becoming extremely conservative’, ‘superstitious’ and might become ‘like Saudi Arabia’.
In a recent interview to a digital portal, she said that nothing has changed for women, or very little has changed in very crucial areas.
She said that our society is becoming extremely conservative.
“We’re becoming superstitious, we’re being forced into accepting and making religion a very important part of one’s life. Someone asked me for the first time last year if I’m keeping ‘karwa chauth ka vrat (observing karwa chauth)’. I said, ‘Am I mad?'”
“Isn’t it appalling that modern, educated women do #KarwaChauth…हम लोग सऊदी अरेबिया बनना चाहते हैं क्या?”
– says Actor Naseeruddin Shah’s wife Ratna Pathak Shah in an Interview. Netizens question her silence on women issues like Teen Talaq & Burqa.

Will Ratna Pathak Shah also enlighten us with her views on many Muslim males who insist on their women, even infants, wearing a hijab/ burqa in India and assault them if they don’t? Is that not Saudi Arabian for her? Or is that her idea of just being liberal?

Why did Ratna pathak add ‘SHAH’ in her name after marriage, while mulla Nasiruddin didn’t add ‘PATHAK’ in his name?
Why did none of the sons -Imaad & Vivaan Shah of mulla Nasiruddin & brahmin Ratna pathak shah, don’t carry ‘Pathak’ but ‘Shah’ as their surname?
Too patriarchal!
