Regressive foolish statements: Sonam Kapoor on Mohan Bhagwat's 'divorce in affluent families' remark

Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has lashed out at Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat who feels divorce takes place more in affluent families due to arrogance caused by education.

Addressing the RSS workers, Bhagwat said, "Nowadays the number of divorce cases have increased a lot. People fight over trifle issues. The cases of divorce are more in educated and affluent families, because with education and affluence comes arrogance, as a result of which families fall apart. The society also falls apart because society is also a family."

Sonam chose micro-blogging site Twitter to hit out at the RSS chief.

"Which sane man speaks like this? Regressive foolish statements," she tweeted.

Bhagwat also said confining women to home resulted in the present society.

"The condition of the society is because of the customs that have been practised here for the last 2,000 years. Women were confined to homes. This was not the case 2,000 years ago. That was the golden age of our society," he has been quoted by Hindustan Times.
