My boys… Both of them are school toppers… For so many years,

I’m the one who’s been building this up and taking care of it. How would I talk

against my own family? I haven’t spoken for fourteen years.

What do they think? He just kept quiet, he was silent,

so do they think they can do whatever they want?

Shall I tell you my side, my justice? All these days,

the fact that I kept quiet was my mistake. Fine, leave it, let it go, we’ll

see, women, this, that… What“ women”? What“ men, women”?

What feminism? Does anyone even know what feminism means?

I am the one who made a film against rape.

I did not know if the film would run or not,

and no one knew how to make a film like that.

I made that film saying it was absolutely necessary.

I am the one who struggled and did it. I am the one who said, in my films,

that women should have rights. Are you saying I don't know about women?

My mom did not raise me like that.

In the movie Peranmai, the dialogue I said is still being repeated by

everyone even today.

I said that women are a great power,

and I am someone who believes it should never be wasted for no reason. Why?

I was with him for fourteen years in my ex’s life.

Back then they would say he was God, he would never scold, only I would scold…

Every interview and every piece of evidence is coming out, there is a lot.

These two years I stayed quiet, the truth has to win.

Only for the single reason that justice must prevail, I stayed quiet. Everything is

coming out. There are some surprises waiting for you, so wait a bit.

Be patient for my sake.

That is feminism.

What do you think feminism is? Then who am I, I am a feminist too.

How would I ever speak against my own family? I stayed quiet for fourteen years,

I put up with it.

They keep saying they will not let me see my kids.

I tweeted,“ It’s the happiest day of my life,”

when he and I were acting together in the film Tik Tik Tik. My boys…

how could I ever let them go? Will you just keep

asking like this?

Fifty lakh rupees, you know? For both their school fees, for so many years I am the

one who has been paying and taking care of it. So that they can get a good life,

that is all I want.

The kids…

Do not talk about my love, none of you know anything about it.

Every night my little boy sits and learns chess,

every day he sits and plays and I end up losing to him.

Are you saying I don't love kids?

They don't even let them watch,

they have confiscated their phones. They are sending a bodyguard to school.

My kids should see this video. I only ran away once I realized I did not

like that life.

I was here all these days, right, you did not notice then?

Did I ever look after them?

Go ask outside how many crores this house is worth, even ECR itself will tell you.

For whom? I did all of it only for them.

If you cannot care when someone is alive,

you should stay shut when they are gone.
