Bollywood actress Sanya Malhotra broke the internet with her stellar performance in the 2023 film, Mrs. She portrayed a woman quietly standing up against domestic patriarchy and received positive reviews from the critics.

The film also received backlash from certain men’s groups, particularly the Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF). They accused the film of pushing a one-sided feminist narrative.

However, Sanya has recently given a befitting reply to the accusations and the backlash. During her recent appearance at CNN-News18 SheShakti 2025, Sanya said, “Problem yeh nahi hai ke khana nahin bana chahti hai. Woh khana bana rahi thi. Woh to saja ke bhi de rahi hai, with zero appreciation from the family (The problem isn’t that she didn’t want to cook. She was cooking, even serving it nicely, but getting zero appreciation from the family).”

The actress elaborated, “The problem arose when she wanted to do something, and she showed that family that I am capable of doing ghar ka kaam, and I want to go out and do something that I love to do (She showed the family that she is capable of managing the household and also wants to go out and pursue something she loves).”
