'Films like Dabangg shows woman as an object of lust' Ratna Pathak

Ratna Pathak Shah lashes out at Sonakshi Sinha; says film like Dabangg shows woman as an object of lust

Ratna Pathak Shah slams Sonakshi Sinha for doing a film like Dabangg.

Ratna Pathak Shah is one of the outspoken actresses in the film industry. In an interview, the actress slammed the patriarchy and Sonakshi Sinha for doing a film like Dabangg.

Shah said, "Everyone who decides to act in a film; every woman; I am sorry to be judgemental... but every woman who decides to act in a film like Dabangg where she is made a complete object of lust and more or less, nothing else, those women should also stand up and say 'no, I don't feel doing a part like this'. Particularly since I have got a mummy or daddy to bankroll this, at least at this time I won't."

She further added, "Silk Smitha didn't get a chance to say that. Her family depended on her doing what she had to do. My family doesn't depend, so why am I not standing up?"

Bhumi Pednekar agreed with Ratna Pathak Shah and said, "We need to become more responsible. I completely agree considering the kind of impact we have on people, on the public, we need to know because every time you are smacking a girl's butt, there are going to be 10 boys in a small little village in India doing the same thing and they think it's okay."

Ratna also added, "Shammi Kapoor did it for years and all a girl said was 'You stupid' and that's the end of the conversation."

WTH ? This should be directed at Malaika not Sonakshi. The way I remember Dabaang she was lusted after and loved by one man. She did not do any dance or expose anything.

As someone who grew up on Silk Smitha movies, she was always in a glamor role showing boobs, ass, waist and dancing to what is known currently as item songs. She did not have a speaking role in most movies. The legend is they added a Silk song to movies that were sitting on a shelf for years and they made money. Sonakshi in Dabaang is the object of one man's love and lust. She is the wife. It is a very different role.

Lust does not mean just any woman or man dancing showing skin. It exists between husband and wife too in a healthy relationship or did the stork just drop all the babies in a country with the largest population on the planet.🤔 Kuch bhi .

If you want to be taken seriously compare apples to apples. 👎🏼

Ratna-ji was clearly thinking of the Fevicol Se song when she said this.

Also just because Ratna Pathak's views may not be agreeable does not mean we disparage her looks. Focus on the argument, not the person or their appearance.
