Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director of Kabir Singh, who also made the Telugu original Arjun Reddy, is not really happy with the way critics (feminists) slamming his film. Defending his film, Reddy made some interesting remarks in an interview which did not go down well with the feminists who again started attacking him.
Singer Chinmayi Sripada, who is also the voice of Samantha in Telugu films, has assessed Sandeep Reddy for his remarks in the interview. She expressed her views in Twitter and mentioned the thread is only for women.
“If a man is deeply connected with you - He will NEVER LAY HIS HANDS ON YOU. He will NEVER slap you. He will NEVER TOUCH YOU without your consent. Women (and young boys) have been told for aeons that being beaten up is a sign of *Love* /*Discipline*. IT IS ABUSE!
I am in love. My husband loves me to bits. He didn’t have to hit me to prove that he is. Women stay in abusive marriages because men beat them up and then help them heal from the wounds that should have NEVER been there. Kids grow up in homes like this.
A man who gets a woman to remove her clothes at knife point is a troubled man. Yes, such men can be in love and their stories can be told. I have known of women who are in abusive relationships/marriages with men. But *glorifying those men as Gods* is the problem.
Trust me - when you are deeply connected with an individual and you’re deeply in love - You’d NEVER do anything to hurt them.”
Now, this has become a hot topic for debate in social media. While very few sections of people are lending their support to Chinmayi, many of them feel that it is a publicity stunt.
