Mallika Sherawat has hit back at a Twitter user who called her films responsible for rising acts of sexual violence against women.Mallika, infuriated at the comment, said that such mentality in people needs to be changed.
Mallika had tweeted about the Hathras rape case, writing, “Unless India reforms its the medieval mindset towards women nothing will change #HathrasHorror #NirbhayaCase.” Replying to her tweet, the Twitter user wrote, “But the kind of roles you have played in Bollywood movie contradict your statement.
Don’t you think the kind of message you deliver through your movies also play an important role? Improvement should start from the person who is making the statement first.”
Mallika replied, “So the movies I act in are an invitation for rape!!! It’s mentality like yours that make Indian society regressive for women! If you hv a problem wt my movies then Don’t see them #nocountryforwomen.
”
Mallika has often received hate for her work in bold films such as Murder and Khwahish.In 2018, Mallika had said in an interview that she had to lose out on multiple films as she refused to get intimate with her co-stars off-screen.
“There were so many accusations and judgments on me.If you wear short skirts, kiss on the screen then you’re a fallen woman with no morals.Men tend to take liberties with you.This happened with me too,” she had said in an interview with PTI.
