Tiger Shroff is known for making very petty comments. Just google him and a lot of what he says is so backwards IMO.
See, these stars such such things. But when Rajeev asked them on the Roundtable about pay and wome's issues, they beat around the bush and give these politically correct statements. Ranveer is actually one of the few along with varun and a few others that will be so blunt and frank. I don't understand everyone else tip toeing across the issues.

You know...I don't get why he got bashed for preferring a "village girl" over a "city girl" in some article few months ago.😆 At least he knows what he wants and is pretty direct. I can appreciate that. Also, I mean it is just his preference. I think people are allowed to have preference in romance and sex, it is not school admissions or place of employment where you have to choose people based on merit. The heart wants what the heart wants. 😆 It is just like a woman wanting an educated man over an unpad gawar or vice versa. Also, maybe he likes being the dom. I think it is okay if he wants to be the man in the relationship and wants his woman to be a sub, as long as both are okay with it. If the guy wants a bheegi billi instead of teekhi billi, let him have her in peace. 😆The poor guy always gets flak for being direct. I'm gonna start sticking up for him, I like his honesty.😆




this is true its just personal perference, every guy has a type just like every girl has a type. If someone prefers a "meek" village girl there is nothing wrong or anti female about it as people love to make it out to be neither does it mean he doesn't respect women, this whole respect thing is overrated there are different ways to show respect. Some girls are very strong fiercely independent but have very submissive tendency when they are with guys, others are submissive at work but strong at home its just how you are wired you cant change your base personality like that as long as you are not harming anyone i dont see anything wrong

exactly, this just proves my point if an actress can bring in the moolah like sridevi did then they most likely will play leads like she did in most her films. who was the main in chalbaaz or chandni or even gumraah, army etc.

that way u can say sanju, sunny, rishi played 2nd fiddle to her which they didn't need to but were they applauded for it?

but she couldn't pull that with big b as he was a much bigger star but even in khuda gawah she is as important as him.



I'm getting confused...lol.

I think we are mostly talking about the same thing...

you say that "if an actress can bring in the moolah like sridevi did then they most likely will play leads like she did in most her films. who was the main in chalbaaz or chandni or even gumraah, army etc." which I agree with ...and the same goes with male actors as well...established actors like Akki etc can bring moolah on their own basis so they will likely prefer to play male oriented roles only...and one should not call them MCP for doing so!

the second thing is - regarding Damini. you think Sunny did a special appearance rather than a supporting role. but irrespective of the fact he was one big factor in the film's success...people may not remember Meenakshi but they remember Sunny's dialogue - 'Taareeq pe Taareeq'. It's not like Sunny was short of male oriented films. he did a Damini and did a Ghayal and Ghatak later. he could have easily refused the role in Damini saying that the film is woman-centric but he saw the potential of his role and accepted the movie. Why can't established actors of today do the same?

khuda gawah was a bad movie...so if the movie is bad (by bad I mean not appealing to viewers taste) then whether it is male or female oriented it will not rake in moolahs.

The third point is - there is a category of actors who accept any role for money or staying the business like Rishi. He did a lot of women oriented films in that era, not because of the goodness of his heart but because he needed to stay in the business...but a s a result he also got typecast in those kind of supporting roles in women oriented movies like chandni, bol radha bol etc. Hence for actors like Abhishek it really doesn't matter much if they do female oriented movies cos they aren't getting that much work either.

However if a newcomer like Tiger starts doing supporting roles in woman-centric movies then definitely he would be type casted in such roles only...so I don't think he said anything wrong when he said it's not something that he wants to do now... and he shouldn't be hated if right now he only wants to focus on roles that give him a solid standing in the industry as a male lead rather than risk being typecast as a supporting actor in woman centric films

That would be me. I think that is why I give Tiger the benefit of the doubt. I have been living on my own since I took off for college. I'm fiercely independent and speak my mind. But in a relationship, I want the man to be extremely dominant and controlling towards me. That turns me the f**k on. Nobody that knows my public face would suspect me to be a sub. But hey...we all have our kinks. 😆😆

I think it is possible to be an equalist or a feminist in your public/work life but still adhere to traditional gender roles in your romantic/sexual life. Of course, I say this assuming both parties provide consent to living a certain lifestyle. If there's no consent, then that's just abuse not a relationship.

Good point. Quoting this so it's preserved for eternity here on IF (just in case they ban you again 😆)

one first point, yeah we both agree.

on 2nd point. yes sunny played a big part even though his role was small he still got a NA for it and people remember his dialogues from it. I don't think he expected that.

I don't think established actors would have a problem doing a strong powerful SA, the problem they most likely have is playing 2nd fiddle to an actress throughout the movie like that role of rishi kapoor because that damages their image somewhere and the SA doesn't.

if u see all of them had no problem doing cameos in 'luck by chance' hrithik even did more than that.

My point is its not about sex, its not about actor or actress.

with khuda gawah I meant sri's role was as important and by that time big b's time was up so no wonder it didn't do well.

exactly but if established stars start doing what rishi did and they choose to do it because u know to be considered feminist or whatever then they will also lose their starpower which they are not foolish enough to do so.

heck, srk isn't willing to play 2nd fiddle to any actor let alone to an actress. cameos and SA don't count.

they're stars and they want the focus to be on them.

exactly. that's why I like him, he doesn't mince his words, straight to the point. just like others he is focusing on his career and choosing his roles wisely and as I said before he isn't gonna play 2nd fiddle to any actor either unless he gets flop in that case he won't have much of a choice like abhisekh

I don't know what the world has come to. the guy wants to marry a village girl and he is called misogynist or MCP.

the guy wants to do solo leads and doesn't want to damage his image by doing supporting roles in women centric movies and again called MCP

kiya baat hain 👏

Gosh..Akshay , Ranveer...makes me respect them even more...
I even liked Shahid's and Arjun Kapoor's answers...true...it all deoends o the script and if the story is good...screen time doesn't matter..
Tiger though...i mean...okay...maybe at this point i your career you want to do main roles only..but giving such a blunt answer
And it is easily understandible that Ranbir doesn't see himself doing such a film...thats why he is beating around the bush..well...i am not surprised at all..

I literally want a Zindagi na Milegi Dobara or Dil Chahta hai from female perspectives. Approach them for their love interest and lets see after that who is faking and who is genuine.

Industrial Sexism.
I don't care for these Actors' individual perspective they are free to choose whatever they want. But cannot help and notice, that for a Tiger who won't do this because he is a new actor and it might endanger his standing by playing second fiddle to a FL whereas for someone like say Kriti/Jacqi/kat/Shraddha or any other Actress , playing second fiddle to Male actor is all they get. Thats where the problem and sexism lies.

Also, the image of a macho fighter actor might take a beating if he plays second fiddle to a woman on-screen seems to be a perception.

All of them made excuses. Barring maybe Aki because some of his movies did have him playing second fiddle. But the only actor I can think who did it was Abhay in Aisha or even say Fawad to some extend in Khoobsurat.
