Even while the entire country is mourning over the monstrous
crime committed in the Kolkata doctor rape and murder case, Indians are protesting in different parts of the world and demanding fast-track justice.
Alia Bhatt, Hrithik Roshan, and Kriti Sanon too surged to condemn the act. Once Rani Mukerji had said that women must be courageous to avoid “MeToo”
In 2018, journalist Rajeev Masand conducted the
“Actress Roundtable” featuring six actresses, namely, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Rani Mukerji, Anushka Sharma, Tabu, and Taapsee Pannu. The actresses spoke at length over women getting better roles, career choices, and “MeToo” among other subjects.
While addressing “MeToo” Rani Mukerji said, “I think as a woman, you have to be that powerful yourself. If you ever come to a situation like that, you have the courage to say ‘back off.’ Everything relates to what you want in your life. If they are ever in a situation like that, they need to ensure that the man suffers right there and then. Either kick him amid his legs or slap him of his lifetime. He will remember it and become fearful of not repeating again.
Deepika Padukone never looked convinced with that suggestion and responded, saying, don’t think everyone is constructed with that sort of DNA, unfortunately.” Alia Bhatt and other actresses consented to her statement.
Anushka Sharma also pointed out how the conversation should be about how men need to change instead of what women should do to protect themselves. Rani Mukerji maintained that we have to shoulder responsibility for our own selves” rather than depending upon how the other person is going to behave.
Deepika Padukone clapped back, “We’re now talking on self-defense. Why should it even get to that stage where she need to learn how to defend herself. All of these things are great, but need to be nip it in the bud; that situation itself should not arise.
Rani targeted women who raise such boys to go on to commit such misappropriate actions. Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, and others present on the panel were left speechless.
Meanwhile, Rani Mukerji received a lot of backlash for her controversial remarks.
