In a candid revelation that's sending ripples through Bollywood circles, Menaka Kunder, the mother-in-law of renowned filmmaker Farah Khan, has shared some surprising insights about their family dynamics that are anything but conventional.
The Feet-Touching Confession
During a recent family gathering that turned into an impromptu revelation session, Menaka made a startling disclosure about traditional Indian customs in their modern household. "In all these years of marriage," she revealed, "Farah has touched my feet only twice!"
This statement carries significant weight in Indian culture, where touching elders' feet is considered a mark of respect and is often expected from daughters-in-law in traditional families.
A Modern Family Dynamic
What makes this revelation even more interesting is the context Menaka provided. Rather than expressing disappointment, she seemed to appreciate their unique relationship dynamic. The Kunder family appears to have embraced a more contemporary approach to family relationships, breaking away from stereotypical mother-in-law/daughter-in-law tropes that often dominate Indian television and cinema narratives.
The Husband Gets a Roasting Too
But Farah wasn't the only family member in Menaka's crosshairs. The matriarch didn't hesitate to take a playful jab at her own son, Shirish Kunder, Farah's husband. Her witty remarks about Shirish added a layer of humor to the revelations, suggesting that the family shares a bond strong enough to withstand good-natured teasing and honest conversations.
The incident highlights how celebrity families in India are increasingly redefining traditional relationships and creating their own rules of engagement, setting new precedents for modern Indian households.
