Indian women not just rule the roost at home but have control over the TV remote as well says a Croma survey.
According to the findings of Croma Home Stories survey, nearly 40 per cent of men claim that their female partners dominate the remote control all afternoon (from midday to 9pm), while over half of all respondents collectively claim that it's their respective mothers who rule the remote during the same period.
Over half female respondents actually admit to 'fighting for control' for the precious device, the survey report added.
However, as per the survey report, men take control of the TV remote from 9 pm, with over a quarter of all respondents citing fathers overtaking mothers for control of the remote during this period.
