Jaya Kishori, a renowned spiritual orator and motivational speaker, has captured the hearts of millions in India and beyond. With over 12.3 million Instagram followers, she regularly shares insights that resonate deeply, especially with women. In a viral video shared on her Instagram account, “iamjayakishori,” she discussed a common phrase often used as a compliment: “Tum baaki ladkiyon jaisi nahi ho” (You’re not like other girls). Although it sounds flattering, Jaya Kishori challenges the real message behind these words. She suggests it may not be a compliment at all. This video has struck a chord with her audience, gathering over 114,000 likes and sparking meaningful conversations about women’s self-image and societal expectations.
When Being “Different” is Not a Compliment
Jaya Kishori questions why society often compares women to each other and then praises one as “different.” She explains that these comparisons imply that “other” women are less intelligent or less worthy, and that such comments can harm women as a whole. According to her, saying one woman “stands out” implies others are inferior. This mentality, she argues, is divisive and far from a true compliment.
Women’s Self-Image and the Impact of Comparison
Jaya Kishori emphasizes that women should not feel validated by being told they’re “better” or “different” from others. Instead, each woman should feel valued for who she is without the need to bring down others in the process. She urges her listeners to stop feeling pleased by these backhanded compliments, as they harm self-image and perpetuate a cycle of comparison that holds women back from unity and support for one another.
Are Women Truly Their Own Worst Critics?
One of the most thought-provoking points Jaya Kishori raises is whether women, knowingly or unknowingly, become obstacles for each other. She notes that men, or societal expectations, are not the only factors in creating problems; often, women end up creating barriers for one another. “Purush baad mein aate hain. Yeh problems baad mein create karte hain, par mahila hi mahila ke liye problem create karti hai,” she says, meaning that men come after, but the real problems arise when women create obstacles for one another. Jaya Kishori believes that if women stood together, many challenges could be overcome with ease.
The Power of Female Unity
According to Jaya Kishori, progress begins with unity, not division. She argues that a united sisterhood can overcome most challenges and build a more supportive environment. When women uplift each other, they enhance self-worth and create positive energy for everyone around them. Female unity, she says, can be a powerful force for change, breaking barriers and creating new opportunities for growth.
Finding Strength in Authenticity, Not Comparison
Jaya Kishori encourages women to embrace their unique qualities and reject comparisons. True strength lies in authenticity and self-acceptance, not in seeking validation by being “different” from others. Each woman has her own value, and comparing oneself to others only distracts from personal growth and happiness.
