Married woman sparks debate over man’s dress cut in front of live audience

A video of a married woman having her dress cut by a man in front of a live audience has gone viral, sparking a heated debate.

Priyanka Halder appeared on comedian Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent.

The actress, who is married, stood in front of a live audience as a designer cut her dress.

At the end of the clip, when her dress was cut off, a guest on the panel asked her if she was married.

She said she had.

She was then asked if her husband had come to the show.

She said she didn’t have it.

“So your husband is cool? I’m telling you, from a man’s point of view, the male ego is very fragile,” said one of the panelists.

“We get depressed if a guy sees our girlfriend or talks to her.”

She said her husband didn’t know she was on the show.

Social media users had a mixed reaction.

And, because nothing stays in one place when shared online, people from all over the world weighed in.

“No self-respecting woman would let another man do this, let alone in public and be so cool about it,” one social media user said.

Another said: “The boy should get a divorce.”

“This has nothing to do with religion; it was her choice and it still is. Honor him and come back to life,” said another.

One commented: “Shameless display of vulgarity. The man and the boy must hide their faces in shame.”

“Religion aside, there is something called consent. If the lady is okay with the gentleman’s actions, who are you to question that and bring religion into the equation,” asked one.

Local media called it a suspected act of fraud. But many online said it shouldn’t matter and the woman should be able to do as she pleases.

Dr. Catharine Lumby, a media professor at the University of Sydney, told news.com.au that nothing on social media shocked her anymore.

“One of the interesting things is that social media not only makes information and videos more accessible, but amplifies them. It has a distorting effect,” she said.

She said something that is often a small statement or gesture is blown out of proportion – often without context.

Dr. Lumby said social media can be a “polarizing” force and called the clothing slashing incident an example of that. She also expressed concern for the woman at the center of the controversy.

“India is a multi-religious, multi-ethnic country. There would be very different views in modern India about proper behavior on the part of a married woman,” she said.

“There is no way you can suggest that all Indians have a particular view of marriage.”

However, she drove home the point that it is dangerous to look at another culture’s values ​​through an Australian lens.

“One of the things we have to keep in mind is respect for different religions and cultures,” she said.

“That’s why I’m talking about context. Social media takes things out of context and we have to be very aware of our own cultural norms and values ​​that we use to view other cultures.”

However, she noted that social media and feminism have a strong relationship.

This includes the Me Too movement. Dr. Lumby said previously these stories were told in isolation.

But when said together, they created a movement.
