I Believe That Our Daughters Would Be Safe If Our Sons Are Raised Right: Shefali Shah

With its launch on March 22, Netflix India’s original seven-part series Delhi Crime has been getting some pretty rave reviews. Inspired by the 2012 Nirbhaya rape case, the show’s star actor Shefali Shah has always found that teaching children about gender equality is a must and tries to ensure that her sons Aryaman and Maurya are aware of how to treat women right.
“I genuinely believe that our daughters would be safe if our sons are raised right…It is a huge responsibility to make sure your son never ever treats anyone wrong,” said Shefali. “Irrespective of the show (Delhi Crime), one of the things that I have raised my kids saying is…that you have to treat another woman equally. That’s the way you would like your mother to be treated, right?”
“So, that’s the way you treat everyone. I did threaten them at one point of time, and I said, ‘If you ever hurt a woman..you are going to first have to deal with me and I am not going to be pleasant about it’. So, it has to be ingrained in them. And children follow by example. So, it a very big responsibility as parents–as the man of the house, as the woman of the house–to set that example,” she added.
