Of course, it's no more privilege than having a girl child but the fact is that this so-called privilege has been viewed incorrectly and with an extremely myopic vision," stated the actress.



In the post, she said that the 'only privilege' parents with a baby boy have is to raise him in a way that they respect girls, "The only 'privilege' is that one has the opportunity to raise a boy in a way that he respects a girl That's your DUTY as a parent to society. So, don't think of it as a PRIVILEGE," wrote Anushka.

"The gender of the child doesn't make you privileged but it is actually the responsibility you owe to society to raise a boy so well that women feel safe and protected."
