Shefali Shah talked openly about the one piece of advice she provides her sons and shared her experience with being the target of street harassment as a young child. Shefali, a mother of two kids, stated in an interview that parents must properly raise their sons. The star admitted that, like most women, she has dealt with street harassment when asked if she had experienced it personally.
Recalling the incident, she told , “I think most of us have (faced street harassment). I remember when I was really young, and in the market, coming back from school, I faced it. And I couldn’t do anything about it. I was too young and I was just scared and no one stood up. I mean, it was crowded, but that’s not a justification but I guess almost all women have somewhere dealt with it.”
Shefali claimed that only when sons are properly raised can daughters be safe. She stated:”Whether I am a celebrity figure or not, I genuinely believe our daughters would be safe if our sons are raised right, and I have two sons. It’s my responsibility to raise them right. And now we don’t even talk about our daughters being safe. We just talk about people being safe, respected and not harassed. And for that, I’ve got to raise two good wonderful sensitive individuals… To put it short and sweet, I always tell my sons – treat others the way you expect to be treated yourself. It’s really just as simple as that.”
Shefali is ecstatic after receiving a nomination for her work in Delhi Crime Season 2 at the 2023 International Emmy Awards. At the time, the actor said, “I am very excited, just over the moon, very very happy. It’s a huge validation and it’s still sinking in.”
Helmed by Tanuj Chopra, the series features Shefali as the protagonist, DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, while Rajesh Tilang, and Rasika Duggal are also seen in lead roles.
