Mira Rajput's Epic Response To Someone Asking the Gender of Her Unborn Child Is What We All Need to Hear

Having a baby, for those who choose to, is a momentous occasion in many women’s lives. However, parenthood is tricky business, and other people’s unsolicited opinions on your choices makes it even worse. (Cue in the nosy neighbours and inappropriate aunties). And the people who have it worse, are celebrities — with the paparazzi, fans, and their own colleagues constantly nosing around their personal lives.

While they’re trained to respond diplomatically to intrusive questions, they do tend to shut any s*** down. Something a pregnant Mira Rajput did, recently, when she was asked whether she was going to have a son or a daughter.

During an Instagram Q&A session, a user asked, “This time boy or girl? (sic)”, and she replied with a short and simple: “Don’t know and doesn’t matter.” Can we get a ‘Hell, yeah!’ over here?

Expecting mothers are put under way too much pressure, especially in India, with its regressive attitude toward gender equality. So, when an influential person says that gender doesn’t matter — it’s important to take note.
