Real-life and on-screen couple Manoj Pahwa and Seema Pahwa, who recently appeared together in the web series Perfect Family, opened up about gender roles in society and how they have shaped expectations within families for generations. They also shared that since men have traditionally been the breadwinners, women shouldn’t shy away from taking responsibility at home. Seema Pahwa shared her perspective on how traditional roles were formed and why women often shoulder domestic responsibilities. She told Digital Commentary, “When the work was divided between men and women, that men will go out to work and women will stay at home, the reason behind this must have been a woman’s nature, a woman is very soft by nature, and she is a mother since birth. For her to take responsibility of the home comes automatically.” Reflecting on her own life after marriage, Seema said she took over household duties such as cooking, preparing the children for school, and caring for her in-laws. “I didn’t revolt against the same,” she expressed. She added, “I thought I had …

Pankaj Tripathi’s maiden production Perfect Family is now streaming on YouTube. The show revolves around a dysfunctional three-generation family warming up to the idea of family therapy. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, real-life actor couple Manoj Pahwa and Seema Pahwa, and Neha Dhupia discuss the show, their changing views on therapy, and belonging to a family of actors. Neha: Saying it’s an oxymoron is taking it too far. But a perfect family definitely exists on Instagram, no matter how much kalesh has gone into even taking that ‘perfect’ photo. It’s usually a taboo but whenever I discuss my family issues with my friends, and that one odd person turns around and says, ‘Mere ghar mein bhi aisa hi hota hai (This also happens at my home),’ I don’t know why but that’s very reassuring.” Seema: Every family tries to be perfect, but I think you can put a percentage to it. Are we 40%, 60% or 80% perfect as a family? Because 100% is not possible. Neha: It also depends on what perfection means …
