Rani Mukherjee founnd onn the wrong side of the netizens when she said &ldquo;I think respect starts at home. Very easily, when you see your mother being ill-treated, it empowers boys to think that if my mother can be treated like this, every other girl can be treated the same way. I think fathers need to be responsible for how they treat their wives at home, because that&rsquo;s what a boy grows up seeing. If your mother is treated well, if she&rsquo;s given respect, boys will understand that women are supposed to be given that respect and that darja in society.&rdquo;\r\nShe continued, &ldquo;So it all starts at home. Even a small thing like a father raising his voice at the mother shouldn&rsquo;t happen. You know, the mother should raise her voice at the father, that&rsquo;s how it should be.&rdquo; Rani added &ldquo;Only one boy I slapped, and the rest of the boys were my friends. And just don&rsquo;t go and ask my husband what happens to him every day at home,&rdquo;\r\nHowever netizens reacted in the following way.\r\nOne wrote, &ldquo;I think she tries to be funny, but she doesn&rsquo;t realise that she is NOT&rdquo;, with another mentioning, &ldquo;She laughs and insists she made a great point.&rdquo;\r\n&ldquo;What kind of behaviour is this? I honestly don&rsquo;t understand why no one ever calls her out. Just because she&rsquo;s from an older generation doesn&rsquo;t mean she can say anything she wants,&rdquo; one mentioned. One wrote, &ldquo;We talked about this Rani. Not again!&rdquo;\r\n<div></div>
