International Men’s Day: Divyendu Sharma posts a strong message against ‘macho’ image of men

Divyendu Sharma’s character of Mirzapur in Munna Bhaiya may preach toxic masculinity on the surface, but the actor is quite the opposite in real life. On International Men’s Day, the actor posted a video urging men to talk about their issues instead of portraying a tough, masculine image all the time.

On Instagram, Divyendu shared a video message with a sarcastic tone. The actor said, “We men, just don’t talk” while highlighting how men hide their weaknesses, as Munna Bhaiya ever encourages.

In the video, Divyendu says, “It’s not like anyone has stopped us to reveal what we are going through.. It’s a self-exercise choice, boss! Not to talk and the world.” To tell us that we too can be weak, because there is a man, isn’t it.” He used a sarcastic tone to prompt all the men to share what they were up to.

Divyendu shares how men hide their feelings because they don’t want to be lulled into a socially constructed idea of ​​masculinity. “There is an image of men that keeps being promoted – that we are tough, masculine and rock solid. People feel that when a man opens up he is ‘weak’. This leads us to men, even though we never get help when we need it. Fighting all his battles alone. This #InternationalMensDay, we urge men to have an open and honest conversation about their feelings, their struggles and their experiences. Men, let’s talk,” his Instagram post read.
