7 Inspiring Movie Characters That Showed Real Men Don’t Control Women To ‘Look Manly’

Today, we are celebrating the powerful characters from Bollywood movies who’ve broken the societal stereotypes about Indian Men. We hope many more would seek inspiration from these beautiful characters rather than worshipping male chauvinists like Kabir Singh.

Real Men Of Bollywood 

1. Sunny (Farhan Akhtar) from Dil Dhadakne Do 

How could one forget the heated discussion between Manav (Rahul Bose) and Sunny (Farhan Akhtar) about how Manav let his wife, Ayesha (Priyanka Chopra) work. The understanding that he is a feminist because he let his wife work didn’t sit well with Manav. It was such a relief when Sunny calls him out for being a pseudo-feminist?

At that moment, we hoped that more men would take a stand for women and show the world that men are equally concerned about feminism as women are.

2. Jeetender (Gajraj) from Badhaai Ho

How this husband stands for his wife against the whole society made us fall in love with this feminist character. When his middle-aged wife (Neena Gupta), is scared of having a baby, Jeetender (Gajraj) makes it very clear that he’d always have Mrs. Kaushik’s back. He let her know that he would support her till his last breath.

3. Iqbal Syed (Vicky Kaushal) from Raazi 

No one can deny that Iqbal Syed (Vicky Kaushal) from Raazi is the perfect gentlemen that we need in our life. Iqbal is one of the most understanding husbands that we have seen onscreen. He not only gives Sehmat (Alia Bhatt) the time to fall in love with him but also understands that Sehmat didn’t have to give up the love for her country to love him.
