How would your feminist self react if a female athlete was shown a dance by 5-6 male RJs on "ude jab jab zulfein teri" & by the end they asked her "zyaada to nahi cheda na aapko humne" ??
Please answer since you've been quite vocal on idea of gender equality
Ugggh! Cringe max. So basically you are perpetuating the stereotype that the man is the real achiever and women are mere mujrewalis dancing to get his attention! How sick and sexist is this. Also, you guys can’t dance to save your life.

You may not have any shàme, but at least respect his stature and dignity.
A few people also said, "When neeraj doesn't have any problem with it why are u bringing this nonsense..its all in good intention..just enjoy"

Notably, javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has become the first Indian athlete to win gold and India’s second-ever individual Olympic gold medalist after shooter Abhinav Bindra, who won the gold medal in Beijing 2008.
