Ayesha Raza & Fatima Sana Shaikh On Eve-Teasing & Reality Of Female Casting In Bollywood!

In this episode of The Male Feminist, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Ayesha Raza Mishra get brutally honest about growing up with gender stereotypes, navigating everyday sexism, and the taboos around periods. From Fatima recalling a shocking incident where she was hit so hard she fell, to Ayesha sharing how she carried a safety pin while traveling in Delhi buses for self-protection—this episode is raw, real, and relatable. They also talk about their upcoming film Netflix Aap Jaisa Koi and why co-stars R. Madhavan and Kumud Mishra are rare examples of true male feminists. Presented in association with our Period Hygiene Partner SOFY, this conversation breaks period taboos and explores how women deal with shame, silence, and strength—with humour and heart. 00:00 Upcoming Conversation 1:12 Welcoming Fatima and Ayesha Raza on The Male Feminist 2:06 Gender Norms While Growing Up – Ayesha Raza 3:03 “Mere Papa Hamesha Se Khana Banate Hai” – Fatima Sana 4:20 Ayesha Raza Traveled with a Safety Pin in Delhi Buses 5:14 Fatima Shares Her Eve-Teasing Incident 6:00 Ayesha Raza on Social Trolling 7:12 “Women Always Take Down Women” – Ayesha Raza 8:44 Ayesha Raza on Facing Gender Discrimination in Her In-Laws’ House 9:53 Fatima Faced Gender Discrimination While Sharing Her Opinion 10:34 First Time Experiencing Periods – Ayesha Raza 11:26 Fatima on Getting Period Cramps 12:53 Ayesha Raza on Being Taught to Hide Pads 14:02 Justifying Period Taboos – Ayesha Raza & Fatima Sana 15:41 Hygiene During Periods 16:49 Cravings During Periods and Binge-Watching 18:24 Casting Couch Issue in Bollywood 19:59 “Women Need to Speak for Themselves” 21:11 Fatima on Aap Jaisa Koi 21:56 Is R.
