Recently, RMD, as he is fondly called, took to Instagram to join the HeForShe Campaign that promotes gender equality.

The campaign also encourages boys to take up roles in the house that have been labeled “a woman’s job”.

“Being an only child, I was raised by my Mom to do all chores, so the issue of only the wife (woman) should cook, clean, wash might be alien to me but I know it is not to most men, which is why today I join my voice to the #HeForShe campaign and remind our men that #GenderEquality is not just in the workplace but at home. We can find a good balance between office work and house chores, especially during this lockdown period.
I challenge my friends.” he wrote
