In a recent interview, Celina Jaitly shared the importance of being financially independent.
Celina Jaitly:
“I was in an abusive marriage. When I received the divorce notice, I simply told them that I didn't want anything from him. I just wanted my assets back. I wanted my money back, whatever I had invested, and joint custody of the child.
I was made to transfer my property worth ₹20 crore. I had no access to my own money or any of my premarital assets.
I was already an established star when I married him, and he was a marketing director in Dubai. I didn't marry a multimillionaire.
People believe actresses only marry sportsmen or wealthy millionaires. That's not true.
I would recommend this to girls: if you have assets of your own, please sign a prenup before getting married. Keep your assets separate. Always. Because, in the end, it all came down to assets.
All the love, all the care, all the promises of togetherness, the children, the deaths, the births, everything came down to assets at the end of the day. And that is my biggest heartbreak.”
I wish I could. But that ship has sailed, they broke us once we broke the system to get back together, they broke us again we remain broken even now.
Only difference being the presence & absence of love between the two times Bengal was ripped apart.
I am glad I experienced "Mai Wapas Aunga" in theatres.
It very accurately depicted those times, people became their true selves, Angels & Demons, all human.
Some killed, some died protecting.
We lost it all, we rebuilt it all, 3 generations down, the ache is still strong.
I still remember this photo
It was taken right after she gave birth to Aaradhya
We shame women for gaining weight after birth
And wonder why the birthrate is going down
Men did not build a world that called women inferior because women were powerless.
They built it because women had forms of power that could not be taken from them cleanly: intuition, social intelligence, sexual selectivity, birth, emotional range, the ability to create life and then organise life around it.
So they made those gifts look unstable. Irrational. Dirty. Dangerous. They turned female instinct into hysteria, female desire into shame, female standards into cruelty, and female creation into duty.
That is how you control what you envy.
You do not have to destroy it. You just convince her to distrust it.
Shubhankar Mishra:
If you were made Prime Minister for one day, what would be the first thing you do?
Sanjay Mishra:
The first thing I would do is make an institute for politicians who want to contest elections. If they have studied at such an institute, we will know what skills and knowledge they have, just like doctors need proper education and training. Not any random person should be allowed to contest elections.
@RashmitaTitli@DGCAIndia Indigo takes full advantage of its monopoly, it knows even the govt wouldnt dare do anything to them & they proved it by orchestrating the shutdown.
@theashleyray People who have travelled in groups can attest how miserable the middle aged married women look & feel in comparison to the middle aged unmarried women. One is constantly on the edge the other is happy, chill & free.
