As we gear up to celebrate Interntaional Men’s Day, actor Ashish Dixit, known for his portrayal of Kartik in Sun Neo’s popular show Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, shared his heartfelt thoughts. Ashish emphasized the importance of recognizing the efforts and sacrifices that men make in their daily lives for their families and society.
Ashish shared, “When we talk about men, they are often seen as a source of strength, whether it’s for their wife, girlfriend, sister, mother, or father. For me, men symbolize power and responsibility, especially when it comes to running a household. On Men’s Day, I believe we should salute all men who work hard for their families and continue moving forward despite facing numerous challenges. There are so many things men keep to themselves—things they don’t share with their families—just to protect them. We often take on as much as possible to ensure our families are not burdened. That’s why it’s important to understand men and the pressures they face, because even though they have their struggles, they often cannot express them.”
The Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya actor further emphasized the significance of celebrating Men’s Day for equality, saying, “I also believe that celebrating Men’s Day is important for equality. If we celebrate Women’s Day, then men deserve their day too. It gives them strength and motivation to know that their efforts are recognized and valued. Another reason to celebrate Men’s Day is for children. Many kids might ask their parents, ‘If there’s a Women’s Day, why isn’t there a Men’s Day?’ By celebrating it, we send a message to society that we treat everyone equally, whether men or women.”
Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, airing on Sun Neo at 7 PM, tells the story of Vaishnavi, an orphan girl who finds strength and comfort in her unwavering faith in Chhathi Maiyya, whom she sees as her mother. The show features a talented cast, including Sara Khan, Jaya Bhattacharya, Brinda Dahal, and Ashish Dixit.
