The daughter of actor, Govinda and his wife, Sunita Ahuja, left Reddit users stunned when she appeared on an interview with Hautterfly. The former actress, said that she has never experienced cramping during her periods and its an urban concept. A clip from the interview where she was seen stating that 'only girls from Bombay speak about cramps' has now went viral and it's not sitting well with the netizens.
A clip from the interview was shared on the discussion platform, Reddit. As soon as it surfaced, netizens were set ablazed. The video was posted by a Reddit account with the caption, "Period pain is not real, guys! Trust Govinda's wife and daughter." The users were stunned to hear her statement. A user wrote, "I have seen women close to me facing this, ig that it might be different for every woman, but to dismiss it altogether is ridiculous." A Redditor called the former actress out on her ignorance and penned, "It is said that idiots will always wear their ignorance with pride. These two are the perfect examples".
However, that was not all, a user cleared the misconception and shared, "The reality is not everyone goes through a similar level of pain; level of pain differs from woman to woman." Another enraged used commented, "Woman, you can't be raised in a mansion in such a privileged way and then come to a podcast to tell people how their pain is irrelevant. As a woman, it boils my blood." Another comment read, "I’ve never heard anything more stupid in my lifetime. Everyone is different, and everyone’s bodies act differently".
Tina Ahuja and her mother, Sunita Ahuja appeared for an interview earlier in December 2024. During the conversation, Tina was heard dismissing period pain as an urban concept. She stated that cramps during periods was the result of the circles who talk about them. She was quoted saying:
"I have stayed most of the time in Chandigarh, and I have heard only these girls from Bombay speak about cramps. Half of the problem comes from setting up these circles who are talking about the problem, and sometimes the ones who don’t get cramps also start to feel it psychologically. So many women in Punjab and other small cities don’t even realise when they undergo menopause. Maybe my body is a little desi. I have never had any back pains. Everything is perfect, 28 days cycle. But, here I see girls always talking about... You eat your ghee, stop dieting so much; you have a good night's sleep, and everything becomes normal. You have a good diet. Most of the girls diet so much looking at Instagram, listening to it, that problems which don't even exist happen."
Tina Ahuja's mother, Sunita also agreed with her daughter. She shared that they have one spoonful of ghee every day. However, she tried to avoid any controversy and asked people to consult their doctors and not take her recommendation. Sunita was also heard asking the viewers not to blame her for giving the suggestion. She proceeded to make up an headline and stated:
