Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani's Kabir Singh released last Friday (June 21) and ever since, has been the centre of discussion thanks to its content. The film received mixed reviews from critics as many found the film's content misogynistic. In the film, Shahid Kapoor plays the character of a surgeon whose life heads into a downward spiral of alcohol, drugs and sex after he breaks up with the love of his life. Kabir's character is shown to be brash and despite being termed as a flawed character by the makers, it is receiving a lot of flak on social media.

Social media is already full of opinions suggesting that the film promotes misogyny and now a CBFC Board member too has taken to Twitter to share her views on the same. Tweeting about Kabir Singh, Vaani Tripathi Tikoo said, "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!"

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!
