The 46-year-old said there was something about an “asian girl wearing a revealing outfit that has blown person’s minds.”
At the Baftas meeting last month, Rani donned the see-through dress with jewels and a skinny bodysuit to “embodiey trust.”
Her look, but, sparked censure from the original doyenne of Women’s Hour, Dame Jeni Murray, who said she was ‘shocked’ Rani was wearing ‘not much more than her undies’.
‘Women who have achieved the status Anita today enjoys should avoid dressing like movie stars or sporting risky outfits to pique the attention of men, according to Dame Jeni in a letter to the Daily Mail. It isn’t beautiful.’
But speaking to the, Rani hit again. She said: ‘I think: is it something about the fact that it’s my brain in that dress?’
‘That it’s an American girl who has done anything totally unexpected?’
‘Although it’s perfectly normal for a person to do something, an Eastern woman’s behavior has somehow blown people’s heads. I don’t hear.’
The radio host added that she thinks women can “have both a brain and use beautiful clothes” and that the world has advanced.
She recently stated that she wanted to “embody confidence” in all women of any age and size.
She added that it was in memory of her late aunt, who passed away while the quarantine was in effect.
Rani said: ‘ I’ve had a difficult few centuries, my life has changed. I lost an aunt, during quarantine and I’ve never spoken about that. It was really hard, we were very close and she wasn’t even 60.
And she did it all for everyone else, just like many other women have done, and she was wonderful.
And finally you realize that perhaps she ought to have lived a little more. And so I’m living this incredible option and life of privilege for which I’ve put a lot of effort.
‘So what do you do? Would you stay put or make a decision, as no one in my family has ever made.’
‘And also I thought, I kind of owe it to a lot of women who come before me to only… wear that clothing!’
I believe we can all take a moment to reflect on what is happening to ourselves. That’s where I am at in my life.
‘I’m really active, I love to work. We all engage in self-destruction, which is day wasting. No one can criticize me more than my inward self, but you must use that voice to dispel that criticism.’
Rani has just stepped up to host more Children’s Hour shows alongside Nuala McGovern, following Emma Barnett’s withdrawal.
The present which runs for an hours between 10am and 11am on Radio 4, highlights women’s concerns and stories, as well as more playful information.
Prior to that, Rani was primarily known for her performances on Strictly Come Dancing and Countryfile.
The 46- yr- ancient has been incredibly open about how she wants to present woman as ’empowering’.
After separating from her husband previous September, she has represented how being one, child- free and fabulous in your 40s may seem like.
After first conference at a dance in west London and marrying in a conventional Sikh ceremony again in 2009, the presenter and her husband, partner of a tech company, decided to break up.
Anita described how she is embracing the “uncharted place,” saying she feels more cheerful than ever after their cut.
After splitting from her 14-year marriage, Anita previously stated to Good Housekeeping publication that she “loves” being a “one, Eastern woman with no children.”
Speaking openly, she said she feels like she has a ‘plain stone’ to begin on once in life.
Following her conjugal break, Anita revealed that she has since moved up into a rental she previously purchased years ago.
I feel really good that I’ve kind of got a bare stone in front of me. I bought a straight about 20 years before, which I kept for all these years, and I’ve moved up into it,’ she gushed, revealing she has transformed it into a ‘Parisienne dream home.’
The actress redefined what it means to be “sexy,” and how she has found a place of confidence as a result of her “inner strength and power.”
