裸婚时代

A |     Jaya Bachchan sparked quite a discussion with her straightforward take on marriage during her conversation with Barkha Dutt at the We the Women Mumbai session. When asked if she would encourage her granddaughter or young women today to make the same choices she once did, she didn’t hold back. “I don’t want Navya to get married,” she said, making her stance instantly clear.           When the conversation shifted to whether she felt the institution of marriage itself had become irrelevant, Jaya agreed without hesitation. Calling it “absolutely” outdated, she pointed out how different today’s world is and how rapidly relationships and expectations have changed over time. Her comment naturally added fuel to the ongoing debate around what marriage means to younger generations now.     She also opened up about how quickly social norms and parenting styles have evolved. Laughing at her own role as a grandmother, she said, “I’m a grandmother now. Navya turns 28 in another few days. I’m too old to advise young girls today on how to bring up children,” adding that kids today are so sharp that “they’ll outsmart you.” It was her way of acknowledging how much the new generation thinks for itself.                Toward the end, she lightened the mood with a cheeky comparison, saying that a legal stamp isn’t really needed to define a relationship. Referring to marriage with humour, she said, “Woh Dilli ka ladoo-khao toh mushkil, na khao toh mushkil. Just enjoy life.” Her remarks quickly travelled online, sparking another round of conversation about how attitudes toward marriage continue to shift.Also Read: "Film World Is All False" - When Dharmendra Spoke About Why Guddi Was Made。
