Ratna Pathak Shah on Relationships, Sex, Girl Child & Patriarchy | The Male Feminist

Ratna Pathak Shah talks about her relationship with Naseeruddin Shah and how she used to bully Supriya Pathak during childhood. She shares how her upbringing defied societal norms, thanks to her progressive parents, who never discriminated between Supriya and her and encouraged both sisters to learn to drive. She recalls her grandmother's reaction to the birth of two granddaughters.

She is full of grace and wisdom. We loved having her on our show!

Totally agree.

Everyone loves her bindaas attitude towards life and people's ideology in our society BOLD with brains

[@subhradharbiswas2428]

[@ss-ib8gm]

punjabi grandmother married gujju pathak so love marriage so why no to girls . i am from matriarchy nairs in kerala we celebrate girl child at least in oldtimes. now ig is changing.

[@praagyaanandjha8691]

Not gujju pathak is Brahmin up bihar😊

[@anshikasawaranya1879]

Maybe because the first married someone of totally different ideology sort of man and the second daughter married a second hand husband , already married with children. As she said her mother and her husband had a Rocky relationship. So, parents are usually tensed for their children. She is the same woman who criticized karwa chauth,the brainwash is evident.

[@onkarthorat1630]

I liked the interaction.💌

[@124tripathi4]

Wonderful conversation

[@hauterrfly]

We are glad you enjoyed it. What was your favourite part of the interview?

[@amvisible]

[@hauterrfly]

We are glad you loved it. What was your favourite part of the interview?

[@rahnumakhan5234]

I like love her views... Sadly I dont know any women like her..

[@ShubhamKumar-of1rb]

no i couldnt help it. i was helplessly in love with and dreaming about something like mills & boons all my life, and I always will. genre: soft romance. it wasn't too raunchy and had just the right amount of everything. god, I always hated saas bahu soap opera. they were so toxic. i was dying for something fresh all my life during teens and I just hated my mom being glued to those dumb, shitty k soaps. all I remember is my good old Doordarshan programs. I'm glad someone finally said it. patronizing is a red flag.

[@sugandhadogra1781]

Meanwhile Monisha , Mummuji wahan gae he they toh free ki coffee pi aate ! 😂

[@hauterrfly]

Meanwhile mummy ji, Don't be so middle-class Monisha! 😂

[@boyman9787]

I find her very animated when she speaks….reminds me of Frances mcdormand

[@thesentientvibe]

❤️❤️

[@kalahasan2284]

I so relate to her views about songs like " Aap ki nazron ne samjha pyar ke kaabil mujhe". God so damn regressive. Why should I be considered kaabil by some damn male?? Or " Sajna hai mujhe sajna ke liye“ or " Charnon mei jo na jagah paoon ". I hate these patriarchal songs. When will men learn?????

[@pranoditasahoo9082]

Is it only me or does the video feels really rushed? There are no pauses in the video to give a thought or feel anything.

[@shraddhawarang65]

Beautiful and intelligent, in and out ❤

[@NV-oi9ov]

Heeba is her step daughter right..The same girl who was found hitting veterinary doctors and helpers at a vet clinic for not attending her pet first just cause she's Naseer's daughter.

[@nehabhalerao076]

How the way she is keeping her leg on the table ?? Is this Nice mannerism Attiquites ?

[@Btsthvislife]

Maya sarabhai 💅🏻

[@hauterrfly]

Forever favourite character! But we also loved as Imran Khan's mom in Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na😍

[@ASY.3]

So much of camera shifting. Really distracting.

[@saumyamishra6631]

Why she gives her opinion on serious stuff , why can’t she stays in her zone & do her stuff These pseudo intellectual overtly glorified with weird world view are nuisance

[@ss-ib8gm]

ekta kapoor should be banned those serisls ruined our lives we were not watching but there was nothing good coming because of them the movies of 199oscwere bad songs were cheap , old doordarshan seriels rajini , udaan etc were so envouraging but by thevtime we came to high school these regressive serials came up

[@MehwishLiakat]

So privileged 😂

[@HenneCindie]

Soo
