21st May 2023, Mumbai: In a recent interview, actress Karishma Tanna opened up about how her parents, particularly her father, were unhappy that she was born because they had expected a male. In an emotional conversation, Karishma explained how the way her grandparents treated her and her sister differently made her strong and inspired her to combat the “sexism” at home.
The Sanju actor claimed that when she was born, her parents were unable to see her face. It devastated her when her mother eventually revealed this to her.
Karishma said recently in an interview, “My mother had told me, when I was old enough, that actually when I was born, my dad wasn’t happy. He wanted a son and there was family pressure, like typical Gujarati families. They thought a son can carry forward their lineage, earn more and they are superior. My mom had two daughters. My granddad and grandmom used to give us second-hand treatment.”
