Television actor Vani Tripathi Tikoo has slammed Kabir Singh for being a ‘terribly misogynist and extremely violent film’, and has called out actor Shahid Kapoor for taking on the role. Vani is also a member of the Central Board of Film Certification.
She wrote in a series of tweets on Tuesday, “I’m serious about this thought that misogyny is ‘infectious’ have been noticing the narrative around Kabir Singh 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
