She said, I think they were very callous, and I don't agree with her. It was upsetting for me as a woman. It was upsetting for me as a girl who comes from India. I think it was an extreme representation of our nation, and I think it wasn't fair. I think we are a progressive nation, I disagree that we are a regressive nation. We are all sitting here and talking about educating girl child taking the country forward. I think its a misrepresentation of what our great nation is in a world platform." Amid Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder Case, Old Video of Mallika Sherawat Calling Indian Society ‘Regressive for Women’ Surfaces Online – WATCH.
