Nora Fatehi recently spoke about her earlier comments on feminism and said that they were taken out of context. She addressed the issue during a conversation with Lilly Singh on her YouTube channel.
Nora explained that in 2024, parts of her interview were shared in short clips on social media, which led to misunderstanding. She said, “I had a podcast last year where we spoke about feminism and then certain small cuts come out on reels and TikTok, and they get blown up and people miss the context. What I advocate for is that, extremism is something that I am totally against.”
She also spoke about her personal life and how it shaped her views. Nora shared that she was raised by a single mother and missed having a two parent household. She said, “I know how important it is to have the presence of two parents, whether it’s a mom and a dad, or two moms or two dads, whatever it is but a nuclear family where you have the presence of two parents and security and a home and love, attention and discipline. I advocate for all of that.”
Talking further, she explained that while independence is important, she believes balance is necessary. She said, “I would have loved to be in a home with two parents because eventually, when you get older that excess emotional luggage and damage does spill over in your life as an adult and I would hate for us to live in a world where people don’t care about nuclear families anymore.”
Nora added, “I want us to advocate for balance, get your money, fulfil your dreams, work hard, create a foundation but, at the same time, let’s create an environment where men are accountable, where men should step up, they should be responsible. I think we don’t have that environment right now.” She also said, “We have created this environment that we are so independent we don’t need you. Why can’t we be independent, strong and still need you? Why can’t you step up and we share, and we balance.”
Earlier, Nora had appeared on Ranveer Allahbadia’s channel, where her comments on feminism had drawn strong reactions online.
