The whole country is outraged by the prevalent rape culture in India and how unsafe women really are. But, a certain gent took it to another level when he blamed Mallika Sherawat and her movies for rising number of cases of sexual violence against women.

He wrote, “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.” 

When Mallika noticed the tweet, she slammed him for his mindset. She responded, “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 have a problem wt my movies then Don’t see them ‪#nocountryforwomen.” ‬

It was a pleasant surprise to see some sensible people backing Mallika for her response.

Well said🏻 I can not find any movie role of @mallikasherawat which give justification to what @karan007kay is saying. If he finds issue with dress sense of girls, then he needs to grow his mind. Also see this account appears a bot. Mallika, you may simply ignore such people.

Do you think blaming Bollywood is the way to go about solving the problem of rapes in our country? Or does the change need to begin at a more fundamental level? Let us know in the comments below.
