Actor Roshni Walia, who will be seen in a key role in Son of Sardaar 2, recently appeared on The Male Feminist podcast. Known for her work since childhood, Roshni spoke openly about her personal life, sparking both praise and criticism.
She shared her experience growing up with divorced parents and being raised by a strong, independent mother. From discussing her first period to emotional struggles, Roshni credited her mother for shaping her into a confident woman.
One statement that grabbed attention was about her mother’s modern parenting. “My mom tells me to carry condoms when I go out,” she said. Her mother also encourages her to enjoy parties, have drinks, and live life fully—but responsibly.
This bold honesty didn’t sit well with everyone. Trolls on social media began attacking her and her family values. Many criticised their openness, especially regarding sex education and freedom.
The trolling reflects a deeper discomfort with women speaking candidly about taboo topics. Roshni didn’t promote vulgarity—she shared real, relatable experiences that many young women face.
Her mother’s mindset focuses on trust, safety, and awareness—not permissiveness. But for many, this progressive outlook became a reason to judge.
Podcasts today offer a space for raw, honest conversations. But they also expose guests to harsh, often unfair backlash.
Everyone has an individual choice in how they live or raise their children. But even freedom comes with its own boundaries and context—it must be exercised with thought and responsibility.
Roshni’s interview raises a vital question: why is a woman’s honesty still met with hate? Instead of trolling, we should be fostering a culture that values open dialogue, consent, and personal choice.
