From killing daughters in the womb to killing them for dowry, you must have heard and seen many such cases. Considering daughters as a burden is very common in this society. Some people give birth to daughters in the hope of having a son but when they have 3 to 4 daughters and no son is found, then daughters become the root of every problem.
It has become so easy to call daughters a burden that a person compares any incident with them. When a contestant did the same in the episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Amitabh Bachchan reprimanded him fiercely. Not only this, in his reply, he said something that a boy or a father should listen and understand. (Photo courtesy: Instagram@amitabhbachchan)
Comparison of an unemployed person with his unmarried daughter
Not only Amitabh Bachchan, but many times the contestants also tell stories on the set of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. In a recent episode, a contestant named Krishna Selukkar compared an unmarried daughter to an unemployed boy. He told that he was roaming around unemployed even after having an engineering degree. If I say that an unmarried girl is a burden on the family, sir, then after a certain age, an unemployed boy becomes just as much a burden.
Well, this is not the first time that a girl has been considered a burden, this society has proved daughters to be a burden many times. Not only this, on hearing the word burden, it seems as if we are talking about daughters only. This thing said as an example makes every girl feel bad. (Photo courtesy: Video screen grab)
Amitabh Bachchan’s befitting reply
As soon as Amitabh Bachchan heard the contestant’s statement, he immediately interrupted her and explained that women are not a burden. Let me tell you one thing… a girl can never become a burden, a woman is a great pride.’ This statement of the actor touched everyone’s heart.
Well, it would not be wrong to say that when daughters are educated and made capable like sons, they also fulfill their household responsibilities very well. There are even some girls who are bearing the expenses of their entire household and their parents also talk about them with pride. (Photo courtesy: Video screen grab)
‘Housewives are the most hardworking’
Some promos of the episode were also shared in which Amitabh Bachchan is saying that women who do not work hesitate to tell that they are housewives. Whereas no one can work harder than a housewife. She takes care of the entire house, takes care of the husband and children along with food. Not only this, she waits till the night till her husband comes home and the children go to sleep, she herself does not eat food.
Today’s society considers housewives as nothing whereas if we look at Big B, even after working so hard, women never complain. In a job, a person gets Sunday off but for a housewife, Sunday never comes.
Big B said a very big thing
Why do people consider daughters a burden?
The trend of considering daughters as a burden is not from today but has been going on for decades. In the olden days, daughters were limited to only household chores and then marriage. However, with the changing times, the importance of daughters is also changing. With the changing thinking, daughters are educated and they are made to stand on their own feet. However, conservative thinking still considers daughters as a burden.
Every boy and father must understand this
The tradition of considering daughters as a burden may be old but it is still in the hands of boys and fathers to change it. If the present generation understands from Amitabh Bachchan’s statement that daughters can never be a burden, then in the future no one will talk like this. Rather, by making daughters capable, they will be considered as the pride of their house.
