Even today, women in various parts of the country struggle to keep doing their jobs after marriage. Many have in-laws who stop them from working after marriage because ghar, bacche kaun sambhalega? Funny thing is, men are never asked this question because they are considered to be the ‘primary bread earners’ of the family, while women are the ‘primary caregivers’. But what happens when a woman is more professionally successful than a man in their marriage?
People online have been sarcastically tweeting whether or not Vicky Kaushal should continue to work in films after having married Katrina Kaif.
Wondering if Vicky Kaushal will continue to work after marriage.

Several people hilariously responded with stereotypical answers that are usually given to women after marriage. Have a look:
He should concentrate on taking care of his family now… Probably will do elder brother / father roles now.

Why should he? Isn’t she earning enough for both of them?! He will happily take care of the kitchen and kids. Don’t pressure men into doing things they don’t want to do.

Bigger question is, will audience even want to see a married actor?

Yaa…also he should accept patnidharm and take Katrina’s last name … but we are progressive so he can just add kaif without letting go Kaushal.

Maybe until they have kids. Bachche hone ke baad kaise kar paega kaam 😌

think Katrina earns enough to provide for both of them, he shouldn’t bother going out to work and all right ? Like where’s the need

Why does he need to? He’s married to the richest Bollywood celeb.. might just do some modelling and get by

Kat is a modern woman. She will allow Vicky to work after marriage. Maybe after the kids he can prioritise his options but for now he will be able to work.

He should definitely stop doing kissing and intimate scenes now

He must wear decent clothes outside. Not drink or smoke. Be an Adarsh Aadmi!

When the same things that are said to women are applied to men, it sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Then why should one gender bear the brunt of such regressive roles?
