MUMBAI : Actors rarely become household stars after their first series, but those who do are remembered for years to come. Dipika Kakar is one such actor who managed to reach that level of prominence. Dipika, who is now well-known for her online persona, gained widespread recognition when she starred as Simar in Colors TV's Sasural Simar Ka. Not only does the actress continue to be one of the most talked-about shows on Indian television, but so does the show.
In a previous interview, Dipika was asked why she chose to be a homemaker and if her parents’ divorce influenced her decision. She said, “Absolutely. Ho sakta hai. I am not saying that my parents did not do their duties for me. They have always been there for me individually and I totally respect that. When they had to stand by me, they did it individually and aaj bhi main dono ke touch mein hoon and we share a very cordial relationship. Lekin, jab aap ek aise ghar mein bade hote ho as a child toh wo aapko ek different way mein hit karta hai aur wo koi kitna bhi keh le, wo ek aisa emotion hai, aisa phase hai jo har bachha differently accept karta hai. A child may get depressed, another may get aggressive, some may become an introvert, some may become extroverts. Main sehemi hui thi. Hence even today I do not make friends easily, I have a very few friends. When I work, I am cordial to everyone on sets but I allow a very few people in my inner circle.”
She added, “When I grew up, I always had this urge that I want to have a good family. My house has to be good, has to be happy, has to be full of love and emotions and relations. So this was something which I always looked forward for. That empty space in my life, rishte sahi mayno mein, wo pyaar wala ghar, wo mujhe meri is family se mile hai. Be it Shoaib, be it Saba, be it ammi or papa, everybody. I felt complete when I entered this family.”
Dipika added, “For me, women empowerement in the right sense should mean that a lady has the right to live her life her way, that is women empowerment. Aap apni life mein kisi ke kehne ke wajah se kisi tarike ki zindagi nahi jee rahe ho, kisi dabav mein aa ke nahi jee rahe ho, ye mere hisab se hai. Lekin aaj kal aisa hogaya hai ke aap bahar jao, aap modern kapde pehno, aap ghar mein nahi bethoge toh bhaiyya aap mein women empowerment hai, mujhe aisa nahi lagta.”
Dipika further concluded, “Main apne husband se chizein discuss karti hoon life ki and hum ek sath decisions lete hai, according to my will, mere hisab se, mujhe ye sahi maayne mein women empowerment lagti hai, many may not agree, so your call guys. I think we need to break this and we need to accept that a woman can be happy even when she chooses to wear Indian clothes. Ye acceptance na society se gayab hota ja raha hai aur maine toh ye sab itna face kiya hai ke ab chhod hi diya hai ke theek hai bhaiyya kar lo troll, you hate me or you love me but you cant ignore me toh chalo baat kar hi lo mere bare mein.”
