Govinda’s daughter Tina Ahuja calls period cramps 'psychological' and advises girls to 'eat your ghee'; sparks OUTRAGE online

Tina Ahuja, daughter of Bollywood star Govinda and Sunita Ahuja, has sparked controversy with her recent comments on menstrual health.

In her recent interview, Tina addressed the topic of period cramps and called it "psychological", while claiming that such issues are more prevalent in metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Speaking to Hautterfly, where she appeared alongside her mother, Sunita, Tina who hails from Chandigarh, said, “I have heard only these girls from Bombay and Delhi speak about cramps. Half of the problem comes from setting up these circles who are talking about the problem, and sometimes the ones who don’t get cramps also start to feel it psychologically."


She claimed that women in smaller cities like Punjab don’t realize when they get their periods and are sometimes unaware when they get undergo menopause. "They don’t feel a thing," she said.



Attributing these issues to lifestyle choices, she advised, "You eat your ghee, correct your diet, give up unnecessary dieting, sleep well, and things get normal. Most of the girls suffer due to their obsession with dieting."

While Sunita supported her daughter’s perspective, she also urged people to seek medical advice, while remarking, “Don’t blame me later..."

Tina’s comments have however, drawn sharp criticism online, with netizens calling her out for being dismissive of women’s health issues. One user criticized her lack of awareness on the subject, with one user commenting, “Someone please get this girl educated! Lack of awareness causes problems. I’ve suffered pains all my life; stop spreading false information.”



Another remarked, “Is she even aware of diseases like endometriosis, which cause severe period pain? People like her only make it worse.”

"I’ve never heard anything more stupid in my lifetime. Everyone is different, and everyone’s bodies act differently," read a comment.
