Rujuta Diwekar ‘will update in 2034’ if she found a man who supports his wife; enables health care

Rujuta Diwekar, a renowned celebrity nutritionist to some of finest actors such as Kareena Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, has expressed her dismay on husbands who mock their wives and complain about their habits instead of being supportive. 

In her latest Instagram post, she shared how some husbands who join their wives during a consultation with her are a big red flag as partners. 

She penned various instances of how men take passive digs at their wives attempts to be healthy. Her post gained a lot of attention, and many users also went on to say that men lose weight faster or become healthy easily because they get proper meals and are taken care of diet-wise. Whereas the same cannot be said for women as they don’t receive the same support. 

Post on husbands 

Her post read, "I am just tired. Tired of husbands who accompany their wives for their meetings with me and invariably end up mocking and complaining about the wife's lack of discipline to eat and exercise and mood swings." 

Diwekar then stated that the wives who accompanied their husbands for consultation were quite the opposite, as they were enablers. "But wives who accompany husbands, act as enablers. Help them get their food and workout discipline. Plan, schedule, cook, coordinate, essentially do whatever it takes to make life easier for their husbands." 

What men fail to notice

She further emphasised, "It is 2024 and I am yet to meet a husband who asks what he could do to better support his wife. The cruel jokes on size, sensitiveness, etc., continue. As does cutting the wife's sentences mid-way, taking phone calls mid-meeting, etc. We, of course, have mastered the art of telling them off in a polite and absolute way. But the men fail to notice the turmoil, trauma, and exhaustion that their wives go through, which is appealing. That they will make fun of her, shame her, is next-level terrible."

‘Support, not jokes’ 

Diwekar added, "The best husbands so far are the ones who sit outside and say, 'Thank you, she really likes coming here and we get to go out for lunch from here. Ha ha ha. But it is only 2024, I will update in 2034 if I have found a sensitive man, who has noticed that his wife needs support, not jokes, and who enables her to do all that she can to get a grip on her health. Just like women, tirelessly and timelessly, have been doing for their husbands."
