Actress Kareena Kapoor addresses the media at Global Citizen India 2016. In India, there is a mentality that a boy will take care of the family while a girl will be a burden. Often reporters ask intrusive questions to female celebrities like: What is the gender of your baby? Will you go back to work? These questions are being asked because some Indians still expect women to stay home and take care of the children. Also, some Indians still believe that a male is superior over a female. The desire to have a boy often leads to female infanticide.
