Why do some politicians even open their mouths? They don't have the brain cells to form any intelligent thought but are still so entitled to share their idiotic and downright sexist opinion. And then we have to suffer the pain of listening to them.

As we all saw recently, Deepika Padukone just showing up at JNU and standing in solidarity with the students who were brutally attacked caused a controversy. While half the people praised her for her powerful gesture, the other half attacked her and her upcoming movie Chhapaak.

One person, however, was so bothered by Deepika's presence at JNU, he resorted to saying something very misogynistic about 'heroines' of Bollywood. Madhya Pradesh BJP leader Gopal Bhargava said, "Heroines should dance in Mumbai. Why should she go to JNU? I do not know. There are many people like her. If they want to do politics then you should enter politics and contest elections."

There's a lot to unpack here; first of all, is he saying a heroine's job is just to dance in movies? Just to be objectified for sleazy people like him? Moreover, how is her going to JNU related at all? She didn't go there as an actress, she went there to stand with the students and show her solidarity.

Also, I'm pretty sure he doesn't know that this is a democracy where every citizen has a right to comment and criticize. You don't need to enter politics to have an opinion on what's happening in the country.

He, obviously, got called out for his sexist remarks, and rightly so.

Politicians shld STFU and do their work.

How to fight stupidity with sarcasm.

This is just no way to talk about ministers in your party. So what if they've been actresses before? Today they are capable members of the governing party !
Sheesh. So sexist! https://t.co/UfHMbt1Fjd

Wow. Every year without fail. One minister has to make at least one misogynistic comment about an actress. https://t.co/GwaXqUGecO
