Raja Chaudhary slams Shweta Tiwari for being ‘arrogant’ after earning money

When asked if Shweta was the earning member and he was looking after the child at home, Raja said, "You could say that. She was earning more, I was earning less. I was working too, but does that even matter? A man earns his whole life — the day a woman earns, she feels it was her money. Aadmi toh kabhi nahi kehta yeh mera paisa hai. Aurat ka paisa aurat ka paisa hogaya, ajeeb natak hai. Fir baatien hongi ki kandhe se kandha milake chalenge, barabari karenge, abey kahan ho barabari ke layak? Chaar rupay dekhke tumhari neyaat badal gayi (A man never says, ‘this is my money.’ But a woman’s money suddenly becomes a woman’s money. It’s a strange drama. Then there will be talk about walking shoulder to shoulder, about equality — but where’s the capability for equality? Your intentions changed just by seeing a little money)."
