Taapsee Pannu: Being a feminist is not about outrightly rejecting ever

Taapsee Pannu will be next seen in Soorma
and Manmarziyan this year. The actor has
been a part of some exciting Hindi films.
In 2016, she was a part of the film Pink that
focused mainly on the topic of consent and
how a 'no' from a woman means 'no'.
Last year, she was seen in Judwaa 2 along
with Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline
Fernandez. The film was a superhit at the
box office. However, many people called out
the film for being sexist and objectifying
women.
In an interview with Indian Express,
Taapsee was asked about it and she said,
"There are two things. Okay, so, I do stand
for consent and you can't do anything
against a woman's consent. But again, am I
glorifying what really happened with the girl
in Judwaa? Are we glorifying the hero? Are
we saying, Oh! He did it and that's why he
became the hero?' No. He (Varun's
character) comes and apologises (to the
girl). It's his apology, his truthful apology
that makes the girl feel maybe he deserves
another chance. We can't stop showing
these things. The problem is when we start
glorifying these things and make it heroic.
We didn't make it heroic in the film."
She added, "To each his own. You cannot
decide for another girl. Being a feminist is
not about outrightly rejecting everything
that you are seeing on screen, (saying), Oh!
This is offensive.' Relax. See the whole thing,
see how it has been taken in the film and
then react to it. I think this whole feminism
wave is kind of going in a wrong
direction, if they start nitpicking everything
without analysing the larger picture."
