Shefali Shah opened up about the one advice she gives her sons and also talked about facing street harassment at a very young age. In an interview with News18, Shefali, who is a mother of two sons, said that people must raise their sons right. When asked if she has faced street harassment herself, the actor said that like most women, she too has dealt with it.
Recalling the incident, she told the portal, “I think most of us have (faced street harassment). I remember when I was really young, and in the market, coming back from school, I faced it. And I couldn’t do anything about it. I was too young and I was just scared and no one stood up. I mean, it was crowded, but that’s not a justification but I guess almost all women have somewhere dealt with it.”
Shefali Shah said that daughters can be safe only when sons are raised right. She said, “Whether I am a celebrity figure or not, I genuinely believe our daughters would be safe if our sons are raised right, and I have two sons. It’s my responsibility to raise them right. And now we don’t even talk about our daughters being safe. We just talk about people being safe, respected, and not harassed.
I’ve got to raise two good wonderful sensitive individuals… To put it short and sweet, I always tell my sons – to treat others the way they expect to be treated themselves. It’s really just as simple as that.”
