Amitabh Bachchan explained that managing a house isn’t easy, urges women to be proud if they are homemakers.

Amitabh Bachchan is awaiting the release of his courtroom thriller drama Section 84.
Amitabh Bachchan has penned down a heartwarming note, cheering for women who are homemakers. On Monday, the Bollywood superstar took to his blog and addressed the female audience on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) 17. He shared that whenever a woman tells him that she is a homemaker, she says it in a subdued voice. Big B asked women not to act like this, but ratherto be proud of being a homemaker.
“Yada kada jab KBC pe kisi mahila se, jo ki audience mein baithi hai, main poonchta hoon ki ‘Aap kya karrahi hai’, toh woh bade dabe swar mein kehti hai ki- ‘Main homemaker hoon’ (On KBC, whenever I ask any woman, who sits in the audience, ‘What do you do’, then they in a hushed voice they reply, ‘I’m a homemaker’)!! (Unamused face emoji),” he wrote.
“Kyun, kyun aesa kehti hai dabe swar mein? Nahi!! Aap dabe swar mein kabhi bhi na kahe! Garv se kahiye ki aap ek homemaker hai (Why do you say so? No!! Never ever say in a subdued voice. Say with pride that you are a homemaker) (laughing and clapping hands emojis)!!!” the actor added.
The veteran actor explained that managing a house isn’t easy and continued by saying, “Ghar ko sambhaalna koi aasan kaam nahi hota!! Ghar ko dekhna, pati ki dekh bhal karna, baccho ko dekhna, bhojan sab k liye banana, jitne bhi upar se kaam hote hai hai sab dekhna. Yeh koi aasan kaam nahi hota (It’s not easy managing a home!! Taking care of the house, husband, children, cooking food for everyone, overseeing all work. It’s not an easy job).”
Amitabh further reminded everyone of the coronavirus-induced lockdown and added, “Covid ke samay sab purushon ko pata chal gaya, ki patni kitna kuch sambhalti hai ghar mein, jab swayam sara kaam jo abtak patni dekhti thi, unhe khud dekhna pada (During Covid all men understood how women manage a house when they themselves had to look after work that his wife was doing)!!”
