Dia Mirza's environmental remark linking patriarchy to climate change has triggered a fierce debate online, with many social media users calling out the actor-activist for what they describe as an oversimplified take on a complex global crisis.
As clips from her appearance on Soha Ali Khan's podcast went viral, critics flooded social media with reactions ranging from "Aadmi hona paap ho gaya hai" to claims that it is easy to offer such opinions while sitting in air-conditioned rooms. Supporters, however, argue that Mirza was referring to historical power structures rather than individual men, setting off a wider conversation about climate change, gender and accountability.
