It's ironical to read such statement on the eve of Women's Day. While the entire world is busy celebrating a day that's dedicated to honouring women, Rohit Shetty makes an absurd statement or at least we can assume that he's coming from the right place and didn't really mean what he said. The entire 'Shame on Rohit Shetty' trend on Twitter started after his recent interview to a daily. While answering about which star he focusses on while looking at the monitor, Rohit replied saying, 'all three obviously.' Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi and 83-The Film To Be Delayed by Makers, Thanks To Coronavirus Scare?
The question in context here was regarding the scene where Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh share a frame in Sooryavanshi. The one that we saw in the trailer and the one that we predicted would be a part of this outing. Rohit's casual reply of 'all three obviously' meant, he looks at all three actors and not Katrina Kaif who's also a part of the same scene. The director further explained how Katrina wanted another retake since she blinked during the blast in the scene and wanted to perfect it. But Rohit instead went ahead with his final take saying 'no one is going to look at you.' She further mentioned how the actress blinks in the scene in the trailer but 'Kaun dekhega?' Akshay Kumar Says I've Become a Katrina Kaif Fan After 'Sooryavanshi'.
Well, Kat's fans are clearly upset with the director's misogynistic statements and Twitter is currently buzzing with their tweets against him. Check 'em out.
A Loyal Katrina Kaif Fan
Katrina kaif has started working from the age of 14 & She's the biggest female superstar just because of her sheer hardwork & honesty towards her work!
No one have Right to say that tujhe kon dekhega, hum to sooryavanshi Katrina ke liye hi dkenge

Irony at its Best
1st lead actor & now director of film demeaned katrina kaif with his derogatory remark. Today we all should talk abt equality & woman empowerment but as long as these misogynist utter such shit then there's no point of women's day.

Do You Agree?
First getting Katrina Kaif on board for the glam quotient to mint more money, utilising her aura to hype your film and then making such a terribly sexist comment which had to release on Women's Day. Wow, what a progress 👏👏👏
SHAME ON YOU ROHIT SHETTY

First Akshay Kumar and Now Rohit Shetty
Rohit Shitty your lead actor & you should take a class of how to respect women... That would be good for both of you ... You shade the lead actress by saying "kaun dekhega" & the actor said "I used to focus on her body"
Have some shame bloody bastard's

While Rohit may not mean what he just said but there's always a different way of putting things or his views across. Saying no one would notice the actress in a male-dominated scene is displaying your chauvinistic views. Hopefully, the director will put forth his explanations in better words next time.
