Actress Sonam Bajwa recently threw light on facing ingrained sexism at home! 

In a chat with Indianexpres.com, Bajwa had a lot of painful experiences to relate and how her story compared to most families in North India.

She said, “i think we have all faced it since childhood as sons and daughters are treated differently. Sons can go out, spend the night outside their homes while women are not allowed to do it. I do understand where it comes from- they are more protective of you than boys.”

"However, I think this inequality is ingrained deep in our society. Girls are expected to know how to cook while boys manage to get away. I remember my mother forcing me to be in the kitchen, even in the heat, while my brother would play. I was asked to help but he wasn’t taught how to do basic kitchen chores."

While sitting for the same interview the diva also addressed gender differences in workplaces with the main focus on the pay disparity issue. 

"My brother lives in Canada and they do not have house help there. He has to cook and clean on his own. That is my badla (revenge). I do tell my mother that had you taught him then, it would have been beneficial for him. I really felt bad as a kid when I used to face these things."

Being one of the most popular actresses of the  Punjabi film industry   the star had her own set of challenges   as she was mostly sidelined in the initial days.
