I don't really know if Sinha meant to be condescending to Jaya; he considers her his friend after all. But the fact that he mentions that she is the wife of Amitabh Bachchan before her other attributes and belittles her own individual achievements - that itself shows where his thoughts are stemming from.
Hence it is very important that such messages should be scrutinized and criticized.
ok gt ur pov.
this man has entered politics i feel he will not be such a fool to reek off patriarchy
n regressiveness.he cannot afford to be openly condescending.if not genuinely at
least for his image he will not expose his mentality this nakedly on sn.
so i feel this man has just been causal in his tweet n just tried buttering ab sr so tagged
him too along with the wife.as u mentioned he considered her his friend so hopefully
no one belittles his own friend this much as attributing her just as a wife of someone spl.
so i feel we are reading too much between the lines.our over reactions can often strain
others smooth friendship.so i commented.
bt yes ur right we must shut up the patriarchs timely , if any.
