Megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda on Monday shared a screenshot from a video clip on her Instagram Stories, featuring finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
In the said video, originally posted by a news portal, Nirmala is seen getting angry at a man during a press conference organised on February 1 for the announcement of he Union Budget for the fiscal year 2021-2022, for not allowing a female journalist to ask as many questions as her male counter-part.
When the journalist says ‘ Ma’am, I have two questions’, a man, off-camera, interrupts and tells her ‘no, only one, others are there.’ Immediately, SItharaman intervenes and tells the man why is he only stopping her, he didn’t stop the others from asking their questions.
The Finance Minister is heard saying, “Why did you say only to her? You didn’t stop the guys.”
Sharing the clip, Navya wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Yaaaaaas. More people in power calling out the sexism that exists…
