Kabir Singh director says its not true love if u cant beat your wife

The director of Kabir Singh, who also made the Telugu original Arjun Reddy, is not an entirely happy man. Although the film has set the box-office on fire, it has also been widely criticised for glorifying toxic masculinity. In an interview with Anupama Chopra of Film Companion, Sandeep Reddy Vanga went on a rampage against critics who had called out the problematic politics of his film, even making personal attacks.

In the interview, Anupama asks Sandeep what he feels about the criticism, and the director dismisses it as "pseudo". When Anupama asks him to explain why, the director says, "I feel it's pseudo because...you know...when you're deeply in love, deeply connected with a woman and vice versa, there's a lot of honesty in it. And if you don't have that physical demonstration of...if you don't have the liberty of slapping each other, then I don't see anything there."Yes, this is a direct quote, people. Mr Sandeep Reddy Vanga believes it's not true love if the people concerned don't slap each other around.He then bizarrely went on to claim that the women who'd said they were uncomfortable with the film had not experienced real love. "I feel that they were never in love, probably they've never experienced it in the right way."

Comparing the criticism he received from Telugu reviewers to the Hindi ones, Sandeep claimed that all the Hindi critics were hung up over the misogyny and had not said anything about the other aspects of the film. Referring to film critic Rajeev Masand as a "fat guy who reviewed my film", Sandeep said that while he'd given him only 2 stars, the audience has given him Rs 200 crore. He then went on to "establish" the difference between "describing" and "objectifying" by saying "fat" was "description" but that if he spoke about Rajeev's body parts, that would be "objectification".

Don't worry, we're just as confused as you are.Sandeep claimed that critics like Rajeev and "women like this" (who slammed his film) were the real threat to the film industry and not piracy. Sandeep also said that since he'd worked with rape victims in a hospital when he was 24 years old, his film couldn't be promoting rape culture and that those who'd accused him of it wouldn't even know the spelling of "rape". Clearly, it cannot be more evident that the man does not know or understand what rape culture means.

He probably likes getting spanked with sex whip by his wife, what a kinky man.

its not about beating wife only, its about slapping each other.

this is what he said ".if you don't have the liberty of slapping each other, then I don't see anything there."

And he is okay airing that view is even more disturbing ...this guy gives me the shudders like no other

Irony is that this guy was/is a physiotherapist 😳 a healer!! WTH!

Well, let’s show him some “love” his way.

In the same interview he said he would not want his son to be like Arjun Reddy. Depriving his child of true vovv so unfair!!

This is how Telugu industry is. Women are treated like shit on sets too. Real casting couch happens in this industry and they are passed on to everyone in the group. I think Bollywood is still better place. Half the reason I hate my place Hyderabad is because of such mentality. It scares me to go back.

Understanding between two people is more important than true love.

The liberty of slapping each other looks okay among minor siblings but not for true lovers.
