Or maybe people don't give him enough credit. He's been mature for a while now.

Aren't you contradicting yourself? Does she have to call herself a 'hero' to prove that she has equal part as the other male leads? She could've used the word'protagonist' just like Shahid did if she finds the word 'heroine' demeaning...



Maybe she does not know the word 'protagonist'.

"When we asked him that Kangana Ranaut has said earlier that "there are not two but three heroes in Rangoon", Shahid said, "Why did she say three heroes? Why she didn't say, three heroines? I am okay being called a heroine." He further added, "To me, there are three protagonists in the film, whether it is heroes or heroines, it is just a matter of gender to me." We must say, very well said Shahid!"
🤔
Does he realise that this is exactly why Kangana said 3 heroes? Because by definition hero is the by default term to describe protagonists doing the big roles in a movie...as soon as there is a man amongst them. We live in patriarchic world & it is what it is. + In India heroine does not have the same connotation as it has in the west, so Kangana was right to say "heroes"

Him saying he is okay to be called heroine is ignorant but eh, what else is new with Shahid. His fans will applaud him & say what a great feminist he is😆👏

"Why she didn't say heroines?"

Because "heroes" is a gender neutral term.. duh.

^^@Jake
Same reason why more informed persons in his industry do not like be called actress, they prefer the term female actor. By definition heroes & heroines do not have the same connotation or carry the same weight. It might look well-meaning to say i can be called a heroine too, but actually it is not. For someone who profited from the male privilege all his life especially in his career, Shahid should know that well.

It is condenscending at best & a passive agressive way to say STFU to his co-actor. Look @ the reactions: it belittles Kangana, makes her look silly/arrogant which is exactly the point. Misoginystic males & male identified females do this all the time when they want to discredit a valid point that a feminist is making. At first look it seems like Shahid is straight forward & yes mature, but the wording of his whole statement... 🤔

What Shahid said is a platitude most will say to placate "angry" feminists. Just like when they say women are superior & stuff like that. Saying this is just a lip service to the cause & make it look like he knows what he is talking about & is supportive when he is not.
