According to the Business of Cinema, Mira said, “I am a homemaker and I am proud of the label. I love being home and had a difficult pregnancy and now I want to spend every moment I can with my daughter.
She further said, "I have a set of responsibilities on my plate and my future is ahead of me. I can finish all my responsibilities and then I will have nothing in my way. And then I can raise my daughter, be a good wife, and set up my home the way I like. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

She added, “I don’t want to spend one hour in the day with my child and then rush off to work. Why did I have her then? I want to be there for her as a mother. Seeing her grow up can’t be quantified.”
Her comments about being a 'good house wife' did not settle well with Twitterati, and the hatred followed.
Here's how the Twitter reacted.

#MiraRajput makes it an either/ or choice for women to either rear kids or build a career when so many are doing both with aplomb

If a woman chooses her career over marriage, it is empowerment. If she chooses motherhood over career, that's also empowerment. #MiraRajput

Some questioned her nerve to wish Women's Day after the appalling comment.
How can you wish power to women one day and thrash them the next for having a career?
