The touching of husband's feet might be merely ritualistic in a lot of households....but the origin of the ritual itself is pretty misogynistic and this regressive attitude is very much alive in most households in India. I do cringe when I see such scenes on TV.
But what has it got to do with Ayesha and Neil? They are just actors enacting a scene.
P.S I'm not opposed to people following these rituals.
I dont think it was with wife touching husband's feet, it was more about welcoming Bappa being carried by someone... You know in one of our rituals... men and women wash the feet of girls when they represent Devi Durga... Also feet of women are cleaned when they represent Lakshmi...I think it was more in that aspect... Yes some rituals in the society are regressive...But I slightly differ here...
