Geeta Kapur Breaks Silence on Controversial Remarks
Bollywood choreographer Geeta Kapur, fondly called Geeta Maa by her students and fans, recently celebrated her 52nd birthday. She continues to defy traditional expectations both in her professional dance career and personal life. Unmarried and without children by her own choice, Geeta has earned widespread admiration. Now she finds herself at the center of a heated public discussion.
The controversy began when Geeta made candid comments about intimacy and self-awareness during an interview. Her remarks about masturbation sparked immediate backlash across social media platforms and entertainment circles. Rather than retreating, Geeta has chosen to address the criticism directly and at length.
"People Created an Image I Never Asked For"
Geeta Kapur believes the strong reaction to her statements stems from preconceived notions about her public persona. She explained this perspective clearly during her conversation with Hindi Rush.
"The real problem is that people place me on a pedestal," Geeta stated. "They act as if nothing ordinary can exist in my life. You have given me a status I never requested. I am just a normal human being like everyone else."
She questioned why her public image should make her fundamentally different from other people. "If I mention waking up, brushing my teeth, or using the bathroom - doesn't everyone do these things? I eat simple dal-chawal just like you do. So what exactly makes me different?"
Standing Firm on Her Statements
Geeta clarified that her original comments were misinterpreted by many. She emphasized that she never explicitly confirmed anything, but rather challenged assumptions.
"When asked about it, I didn't say I do it," she explained. "I simply asked what makes people think I don't. And even if someone does engage in such activities, what is wrong with that? Do you not do similar things? Doesn't everyone have private aspects to their lives?"
The choreographer expressed frustration with societal discomfort around certain topics. "Why do we behave so awkwardly about natural human experiences? Are only comfortable, conventional conversations acceptable?"
Geeta drove home her central point about human commonality. "I am not different from anyone. I have two legs, two ears, two eyes just like every other person. Some people have better eyesight than others - that's the extent of our differences."
Responding to Social Media Criticism
Addressing the online outrage that followed her comments, Geeta displayed remarkable resilience. She acknowledged the power of modern technology to amplify criticism but refused to let it affect her.
"Today people have tremendous power in their hands," she observed. "They have phones and endless opportunities to comment. People seem to have too much time on their hands. Honestly, I don't care about the negativity."
Geeta offered a simple philosophy for dealing with public opinion. "If you like what I say, pay attention. If you don't like it, move along. Everyone has the choice to follow or unfollow. You have the right to express your opinion, and I have the right not to listen to it."
Personal Life and Relationships
Geeta also addressed the constant public curiosity about her marital status and personal relationships. She revealed that questions about her partnership status have followed her for years, especially around her birthday.
"As my birthday approaches, people keep asking if a partner will appear," she shared. "This question has been asked for years and years."
The choreographer has developed a peaceful perspective on companionship. "For me, genuine companionship matters more than formal relationships. True friendship holds greater importance. If someone comes into my life, that's fine. If not, that's fine too. It simply doesn't matter as much anymore."
Geeta Kapur's candid conversation reveals a woman comfortable with her choices and unafraid to challenge societal expectations. Her remarks continue to spark important discussions about personal freedom, public image, and the space women are allowed to occupy in both private and public spheres.
