It Was Rather Insensitive Anushka Sharma on Salman Khan's Rape Comment

For the first time since Salman Khan made the polemical comment on rape, actress Anushka Sharma - her co-star on Sultan, spoke and called the remark "insensitive." Anushka was in conversation with renowned film critic Anupama Chopra and when asked about her reaction to Salman's controversial comment, the actress tried to distance herself from her by saying that she was not aware of the context.

"It has been a lot of talk, it was obviously insensitive, something that surprised me, and what made me realize was that we all have a responsibility about what we say, especially celebrities." Especially celebrities need to be more aware of what they say publicly Or in private, "the actress said. "I can not evaluate why he said something like that because I do not know him that much," Anushka added.

When Chopra asked him if he had asked Salman to apologize, Anushka said it was not his place to say such a thing. Do not know him. Salman is very intimidating. He really does not go out of his way to make someone comfortable and I'm too shy to bridge that gap. So I have not told you anything, just leave this alone. Whenever we have had a conversation, it has been in a group. He's an adult, I'm sure he knows what to do, "Anushka said.

The actress nevertheless mentioned that the controversy would ensure that the term "rape" is not used casually. "Many people must have understood that the word should not be taken lightly, I hope now everyone is now more cautious."

The actress plays Aarfa, the love interest of the sultan in the recently released film. Her character has been called regressive by a certain media sector as Aarfa, as a statewide wrestling champion, retires from the Olympics when she learns she is pregnant.

Defending his character, Anushka said he did not find Aarfa regressive. "I was pregnant, what could I have done?" Do you have an abortion? She gave up her dream of having a child - she made the choice to take the child to the world. I think if the woman is making a choice on her own not to abort the child who is not regressive, "said the actress.

"When I first heard the script, I have to admit that point made me think a little. When I started filming for the movie, I thought to myself 'would I do this?' When you understand the situation, you realize that it is not that he asked you to give up your dream. She holds a grudge against Sultan, not only that her child died but she gave up so much for one person that she did not give a shit about She.At the end of the film she returns to what she is doing, "added Anushka.

The actress also said that if she had been in a similar situation, she would also have moved on and would have the son. "If tomorrow I come to know that I am pregnant, I would not abort the child to make a film."
