After Sona Mohapatra, CBFC member Vani Tripathi Tikoo slams Shahid Kapoor for doing ‘Kabir Singh’

Shahid Kapoor is basking in the success of his latest release ‘Kabir Singh‘. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film is a remake of the hit Telugu flick ‘Arjun Reddy’ that released in 2017. The Shahid Kapoor starrer is minting big money at the box office. However, a certain section of the audience is bashing up the film (and the actor) for its misogynistic content. ‘Kabir Singh’ unapologetically glorifies abusive relationship, sexism and misogyny.

Recently, we saw singer Sona Mohapatra questioning Shahid about agreeing to be a part of such a problematic film. Now, former actress and CBFC member Vani Tripathi Tikoo too has raised similar questions. Criticising the film’s portrayal of its lead actor, Vani said that misogyny is infectious.

I'm serious about this thought that Misogyny is "Infectious" have been noticing the narrative around #KABIRSINGH past few days..What a terribly misogynistic and extremely violent film! Arjun Reddy was bad enough and now this remake! Am I surprised it's doing well …Well Well!

Vani slammed big stars who choose to be a part of such films when they should be leading by example. She even used the hashtag ‘Stop Misogyny’.

I find it baffling that "Big Stars" make these choices who actually lead by Example! As the Cinematic journey of the country has gone beyond its "Traditional" Women as "Eye Candy" routine. Can we remember how movie characters are idolised? #StopMisogyny #KabirSingh

Someone asked me after my last post what's wrong with an Actor choosing a role? Dear pal there is never a wrong or a right it's the choices that you make on screen to portray is what defines who you are! A character is only a piece of written paper if not enlivened by an actor!

‘Kabir Singh’ has led to a debate on social media where people are either bashing its makers and Shahid or simply asking others to see it like a film.
