Kriti Sanon, who essays the role of a small-town girl in Bareilly Ki Barfi, talks about societal change.

A girl who smokes and has tattoos on her body isn't acceptable by the society and is a notion that exists in India.

In Bareilly Ki Barfi, Kriti's character as Bitti strives to break this stereotype.
While talking about the issue Kriti shares, "Smoking is not good for health and should be avoided. I am a non-smoker, but the point we want to make is that girls who smoke, who are fond of body art or break into a jig are not characterless.

Our society has a very small bracket for 'good girls'. That bracket needs to broaden up or change. When a guy is moophat or smokes, he is not considered characterless, but you judge girls too fast. This is seen more in smaller towns. In an arranged marriage too, only a girl is asked all kinds of questions. I really want this to change."

Smoking is bad for your health so should be avoided. But smoking, drinking or clubbing is not a barometer of someone's character. Character is the core person you are. What your core values are. You can drink sometimes and party, wear short dresses and still be a person of high moral character. I know this for a fact. Therefore never judge a book by it's cover. Always read it and then decide!

Girls can do whatever they want whether it's drinking, smoking, doing drugs, having sex, in a relationship etc. Who is society to judge?? I hate the smell of cigarettes but each to their own. No one is perfect and labeling people is just a reflection of the person who is tagging them characterless and body shaming.

Ofcourse!! Society should not be judge a girl by her way of living...
Whether she is smoking or not it's her personal problems not of society..
Though I support no smoking zone.. It should be ban for both male or female

I have witnessed people judging girls for smoking, while being okay with boys who smoke. Of course, smoking should be avoided and Kriti has said the same thing. But, the mentality that boys can do it but girls should not, is wrong. It needs to change. Smoking is injurious to health but not immoral.

Smoking in general is bad for health and it should be avoided. But that by no means is a benchmark to judge the character of a person.

What crap.. You should impart messages like NO smoking instead of making smoking into girl vs boy thing.. Leave being characterless, it reduces your life potency and sadly those of the people around you. Be grounded woman!!
