Kangana Ranaut is all over the news ever since her explosive interview with Rajat Sharma went live. In the interview, Kangana is seen speaking about everything from her alleged relationship withHrithik Roshan to Aditya Pancholi and even Apurva Asrani.
Reacting to it, Apurva in a cryptic tweet wrote, "All's fair in love, war & movie promotions. Even crass desperation to regain box office success must be observed & enjoyed as entertainment.
When a leading daily contacted him for his reaction, Asrani said, "It was done and dusted for me. Clearly, she wants to give me more publicity. I'd much rather we focus on the wonderful story that Simran is and not on all these conflicts one has with various people.
This didn't end here. Apurva Asrani took to Facebook to share a note wherein he called out this wave of pseudo-feminism.
His note read:
"I'm frigging tired of this wave of pseudo-feminism that has swept our timelines and I want to call it out once & for all. Because women who transgress the limits of decency & fair play by saying men did it, so why can't we?' only compound the problem.
As a gay man, I have suffered patriarchy all my life. But today, I also suffer the pseudo feminists, who cheer gleefully when a woman commits a crime.
The others, like public watching a matador and a raging bull, don't care about right or wrong, they only applaud when they see blood.
We have become a society that celebrates a woman for being a rule breaker', but shames a man for the same. You forget that this breaking of rules, irrespective of gender, has a far deeper effect. It tramples on the lives of innocent peoplethose that you carelessly write off a collateral damage. I'm not ok with that.
I have seen many prolific women journalists celebrate these so called rule breakers' and I want to ask them this question, are you investigating thoroughly? Are you asking the difficult questions?? Or are you cutting someone slack because she's also a woman? Because she is ready to do battle where you can't, will you turn a blind eye to where she could actually be wrong?? Shouldn't you be holding both sexes equally accountable??'
I'm not ok with women settling scores with men by falsely claiming they molested them. I'm not ok with women who can't handle being broken up with and then manipulate the world to shame the man.
And lastly, I'm not with film makers getting bullied and writers getting f**ked over just because you are an outspoken woman. Injustice is injustice. Period.
