From where I come from those are the two meanings of 'bajana'. Akshay Kumar needs to apologise. She has rightly brought up his daughter as a method to make him understand how vile his statement is. If as a man he doesn't understand basic human decency maybe as a father he will. Good on her.
You said it
This thread is prime example of how the woman is targetted . If in this small forum, comprised on wole people the woman os targetted for speaking up: then imagine real world.
Also AIB roast has nothing to do with mistreatment of Mallika. R you justifying one wrong by ciring other?
What akshay said, intentions or not , is sexual harassment. Period.
Women put up with these things and worse and go on, because look how speaking up gives way to rant of victim shaming and victim blaming.
It doesn't matter what roast AIB did, its a different topic.
And see how controlled and logical reaction Mallika ia forced to give when she probably is seething with rage inside.
Most of these powerful men act and treat others specially women at inferior position as something to be toyed with . They get away with it because society allows it to.
Also most of them are fathers of daughters. Its a weak argument. It doesn't stop them from abusing other daughters.
Every human being should have the basic understanding of what is right and wrong.
Akshay had a mother long before he had a daughter or wife
Why is it difficult for him to understand such behavior is not okay?
