Nora added that women should assume their roles at home because they are fundamentally "nurturers." On social media, the actress-dancer's remark caused a great deal of controversy. Some ladies attacked her, calling her "ignorant."

Now, Nora has clarified that she was talking about “toxic feminism” on the podcast. Responding to a netizen who called her out for only having “a surface level” idea about feminism, Nora said, “I agree that’s why I said I agree and support the foundation of feminism. What I spoke on was about radicalized feminism and toxic feminism and the extremism of gender roles in our society.”

Nora said, “This idea of I don’t need anybody. Feminism. I don’t believe in this shit. In fact, I think, feminism f**ked up our society. The idea of being inherently completely independent and not having to get married and have kids and not having the male and female dynamics at home where the man is the provider, a breadwinner and the woman is the nurturer. I don’t believe in people who think that’s not true. I think women are nurturers, yes, they should go to work and have their own life and be independent but to a certain extent.”

She continued, “They should also be ready to take on the role of being a mother, a wife and a nurturer. Just like a man should be ready to take the role of being a provider, a breadwinner and a father and a husband. We call it an old-school, traditional way of thinking. I call it the normal way of thinking. It’s just that feminism fucked it up a little bit. We are all equal in more sentimental things but in societal things, we are not equal. Feminism inherently, on the base level, is great. I also advocate for women’s rights, I also want girls to go to school. However, when feminism becomes radical, it becomes dangerous for society.”
