Kartik Aaryan's upcoming movie Pati Patni Aur Woh is making headlines right now for all the wrong reasons, as one of his dialogues from the trailer, has been slammed by fans online as crass and in bad taste, as it appears to be 'promoting marital rape'. © T-Series So the dialogue is, “Biwi se *** maang lein toh hum bikhaari, biwi ko *** na de toh hum atyachaari, Aur kisi tarah jugaad laga ke usse *** haasil kar lena toh balaatkari bhi hum hai." The movie seems to be trying to take a humorous approach to adultery and extra-marital affairs, however, people seem to be of the opinion that the director has gone too far and hit really below the belt. In a scene from the trailer, it appears that Kartik's character Chintu Tyagi is making a point that it's unfair for men to be termed as "rapists" when they manage to convince women to give in to their demands and have *** with them. © T-Series People on Twitter are ripping the trailer apart for the kind of message the movie seems to be trying to promote. In a country where women are still fighting for their rights and facing sexual harassment on a regular basis, it is nothing but sad that the movie is making light of such matters. One of the users wrote, “Biwi se *** maang lein toh hum bikhaari, Biwi ko *** na de toh hum atyachaari, Aur kisi tarah jugaad laga ke usse *** haasil kar lena toh balaatkari bhi hum hai - I don't expect anything from a Kartik Aaryan movie but this is dismal.” Check out a few reactions here: "Biwi se *** maang lein toh hum bikhaari Biwi ko *** na de toh hum atyachaari Aur kisi tarah jugaad laga ke usse *** haasil kar lena toh balaatkari bhi hum hai" I don't expect anything from a Kartik Aaryan movie but this is dismal https://t.co/q61BFOmD38 — Shreemi Verma (@shreemiverma) November 4, 2019 Kartik will fall at a greater speed than the way he is rising. #misogynistic #Shameless — SB (@Calllmesavage) November 4, 2019 #PatiPatniAurWoh #PatiPatniAurWohtrailer ...so the whole team of this movie think rape is a joke..."balatkaar" is not a joke and no wife would tag her husband as "balatkaari" just for fun...stop justifying stupidity just bcoz ur need a rhyming scheme in ur dialogues..!!! — Apurva (@Apurva81287066) November 4, 2019 This misogyny needs to end! A woman's power to consent is not something to joke about and what makes it worse is that 20-something year olds are being part of such projects. #PatiPatniAurWoh #Hindifilmindustry #MaritalRape — Raahat Manrai (@RaahatManrai) November 4, 2019 "Kisi Tereh Jugad Kar ke *** Hasil Kar Len to Balatkari" Slow claps brother @TheAaryanKartik You don't "achieve" the *** in a rape. It's forced "crime" on a life of human being. Not only physically but also emotionally and it destroys someone's soul and will of life. — Aaftab Alam â¤ï¸ð®ð³ (@SRKian_Aaftab) November 4, 2019 Watch the full trailer here: And this is, obviously, not the first time that Kartik has been questioned for his monologues. In his previous movie, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, he questioned the character of women saying “ladkiyaan hote hi kameeni hai" and "problem yeh hai ki woh ladki hai." Well, the damage has been done now and it does not bode well for the movie and everyone who have worked hard for it. Here's hoping either the cast or the makers take note of this backlash and address it immediately. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below. View the full article

Short clothes do not cause rape. That's not a question, there are no buts, it's not up for speculation. There doesn't need to be a debate over it. It's a full and complete statement, and a simple one at that, but as we have seen over the years, there are still people out there who don't believe it. When people say things like 'oh, look at what she's wearing' and 'she's asking for it', it basically just promotes rape culture. And, the only person at fault in that situation is the one saying it and not that girl in a short skirt. It's just victim blaming and I don't think I have to even explain how wrong that is. Okay, let's take into consideration that someone got molested or harassed because of their clothes. Does that apply to kids who get raped? Does that apply to the 8-month-old baby that got raped? No, right? Oh, it's almost as if clothes don't matter. See, we've come full circle. © Twitter I would also like to say one last thing – when people immediately blame the clothes of someone who got raped, they are also basically saying men can't control themselves at all, especially when they see skin. And, that's not right as well. No one wins in this situation – it's women's fault for dressing provocatively and it's the men who are so senseless that they have no control over what they're doing. It's 2018 and you would've thought that by now people would hold the person responsible accountable and treat the victim as the victim, but no, doing the right thing would be too much for people, right? We can't function like this. Protesting all these stupid reasons and the people who defend the culprit by making senseless statements against the victims, male members of Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) marched wearing shorts in the streets of the capital to take a stand and make a statement. © Twitter The 'Rape Roko' campaign was launched by DCW after the horrific incident where an 8-month-old baby was brutally raped in January. In an attempt to raise awareness and change the mentality of people who blame the victim, volunteers marched from Mandi House to Central Park carrying boards and placards with slogans like “Her clothes are not short, your mentality is” and “What clothes was the eight-month-old baby wearing?” 'Real men don't rape', 'Its not her short skirt, it's ur sick mentality' ~ Boys & men of Delhi walk in Boxers 2 challenge mindsets which tend 2 blame and shame the rape survivor! Join the #RapeRoko movement. Raise your voice against child rape at Centre Park, CP 8 March 9:30 am pic.twitter.com/HVMBGvMDgU — Swati Jai Hind (@SwatiJaiHind) March 6, 2018 Abhishek, a student of Delhi University, said, “I am walking half-naked but society allows me to. If a girl walks in a sleeveless top, men letch at her. This is not right.” © Twitter Another powerful placard read 'I feel safe in these Boxers. How much fabric does she need to feel safe?' A lot of young boys came out in support and take part in #BoxerRally under the #RapeRokoMovement by the women's panel. In a letter to DCW chief Swati Jaihind, the IMA had said: “We strongly support the people's movement 'Rape Roko' launched by DCW chief to demand a robust criminal justice system which ensures cases of sexual crimes against women and children are tried by fast-track courts within six months and rapists of children are essentially accorded death penalty as a strong deterrent for others against such crimes.” © Twitter Hopefully, this helps in bringing about the change that this country desperately needs.
