Amitabh Bachchan and KBC contestants, just listen to Jaya Kishori, the woman was unable to open her mouth.


Recently an episode came in KBC 16, in which there was a conversation between Amitabh Bachchan and the contestant about wife, relationship and marriage. Although it was a very light conversation, but if the things said during this are taken a little seriously, then one can understand an aspect which was not given even one percent attention during the show. Especially women will probably be able to understand these things better, because even though times have changed, the responsibility of filling the pot of expectations still remains on the girl’s head.

Jaya Kishori had explained this whole thing very beautifully during a podcast, when in the interview she was asked for her opinion on the increasing cases of divorce. (Photo courtesy: Yogen Shah and Instagram@amitabhbachchan)

What was asked to the KBC contestant?

Big B had asked Ranveer Raghuvanshi, an advocate from Pipariya city who became a contestant on the sets of KBC 16, whether there was any Deepika in his/her life or not. To this he/she replied that he/she was single and had come on the show with the hope that she would help him/her find the Deepika of his/her life.

After this, Big B had asked that what qualities does Ranveer want in his/her future wife? So the answer was ‘Sir, there should be some qualities. She should understand things, like family and should not be the active type.

After listening to the contestant, Amitabh had reacted that ‘We feel that these days you are seeing more divorce cases. We need this and also maintenance.
Hearing this, everyone present in the studio laughed. But was it so funny?

Even today, girls are expected to take care of the family after marriage. The girl should understand the family, go along with it, keep them on priority, etc.

On the other hand, the life of boys changes half and half remains the same. Rather, it becomes easier to some extent because they personally find such a person, who gives all the things at their fingertips.

But times have changed. Now girls do not want to remain just puppets. She does not want to lose her identity in marriage. Now she has started expressing her views openly and many people look at this with rebellious eyes and present it in a negative light.

The way Amitabh commented on divorce cases, it reminds me of the interview given by Jaya Kishori. In this, the podcast anchor had asked, ‘Even in earlier generations, there were problems in marriage but still relationships used to last long. People used to compromise with each other on many things. Through this, the intention was to ask how much role women have in the increasing cases of divorce in modern times.

Jaya Kishori, while answering this question, had said, ‘Because the woman did not speak earlier. If we look at it, the thread of the relationship was in his/her hands earlier also. As soon as he/she started speaking, the relationship broke. So who was holding the string? We were silent so the relationship remained. When we told a little about what problems we were facing, the relationship broke down.

Money has always been a way to control women.

Money has always been a way to control women.

In earlier times, women were completely financially dependent. Even her parents started considering her as a stranger as soon as their daughter got married. In such a situation, no matter how much the husband beats or tortures him/her, the wife would never be able to leave him/her. And it was proudly displayed in such a way that see how a marriage lasts for decades despite all the circumstances.
However, now women know their rights. On the other hand, she herself is trying to become financially strong, while on the other hand, instead of tolerating the harassment, she decides to separate. If she has children or is not earning, she also has the legal right to receive maintenance from her husband.

When women started speaking, relationships started breaking down.

It is true that many women take unfair advantage of this, but most of the cases are such in which the woman really needs the maintenance amount. In such a situation, one should think before saying anything even jokingly. At the same time, instead of having high expectations from women, boys should also try to bring changes in themselves.
Boys will have to accept that the girl who will become their wife is a different person, who has her own desires and parents. And if they have any expectations, then first they should fulfill those expectations.

For example, if he/she wants his/her wife to give her parents the first priority, then the boy will also have to learn to take care of the girl’s parents in the same way. Only then will it be a matter of marriage partner in true sense.
