Popular actor Chinmay Mandlekar, known for his roles in Marathi and Hindi films, found himself embroiled in controversy when he and his wife Neha faced backlash for naming their son 'Jehangir'. The couple, who got married in 2009, proudly welcomed their son with the name that stirred a storm on social media. Despite the joy of parenthood, they were met with criticism from a segment of social media users who objected to naming their child after a Mughal Emperor.
In response to the relentless trolling and hateful messages flooding their social media accounts, both Chinmay and Neha took a stand to address the issue. Chinmay, visibly distressed by the situation, expressed his frustration at having to repeatedly defend his son's name against unwarranted attacks. The derogatory and offensive comments aimed at their family had taken a toll on their mental well-being. Known for his portrayal of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Chinmay made the difficult decision to step back from such roles in order to shield his family from further harm.
Neha also stood firm in the face of criticism, asserting their right to choose their son's name without judgment. She highlighted the positive associations linked to the name 'Jehangir' and defended their decision despite the negativity they faced. Their resilience echoed a similar situation experienced by Bollywood stars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan when they named their sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan. Despite facing backlash for their choices, Saif and Kareena remained steadfast in their decision, emphasizing the significance behind their sons' names.
The Mandlekars' story underscores the challenges individuals encounter when personal choices come under societal scrutiny. Their unwavering stance on their son's name exemplifies a commitment to their beliefs and values amidst adversity. In a world where opinions can be harsh and unforgiving, standing up for one's convictions becomes an act of courage and resilience, showcasing the strength of familial bonds over external pressures.
