Roaring Sexism: Tiger Shroff Just Compared His Female Co-Actors To 'Paddings' He Doesn't 'Care About'
At a time when Bollywood is getting increasingly conscious about the way it treats women in the industry (actors calling out sexism, speaking out against gender-based pay disparity) it seems Tiger Shroff missed the memo.
Not once, but twice.
In a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror, the actor dismissed the question of who his female co-stars are going to be (in the upcoming sequel to Student of the Year) by saying, "I don't get involved with the casting at all. I don't really care about the padding around me. It's the script and my character that matter."
Not only is the statement deeply sexist, it's also telling about how self-absorbed three-film old Tiger is.
The actor could have easily show a little bit respect to his future co-stars by saying, "I'm pretty sure the casting guys at Dharma will get talented actors who I can both learn and grow from."
But nope, Tiger decided to compare them to paddings.
Usually, in industry-parlance, paddings are butt-pads, a form of cosmetic accessories, used to make an actor's butt (or breasts) look more shapely.
