Thoughtless of Salman to make rape analogy: Anurag Kashyap

June 21, 2016 21:26

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap today criticised superstar Salman Khan for his rape analogy saying it was "thoughtless" and "daft" of him to make such a remark.

He also questioned the journalist, interviewing him, for allegedly laughing over the comment.

It has been reported that the journalists, who were a part of the interview, erupted into laughter at Salman's statement.

Anurag slammed the scribe, answering whose question Salman made the comment, saying he should have questioned the "Kick" star over the statement.

"But does the responsibility lie alone with him? The guy who is interviewing him... When the man gives an analogy like this, he laughs at it. He does not question him. In his mind, he is thinking I have got a headline. How irresponsible it is to make that into a headline."

"I would have taken that out. It does not send a great signal, it empowers misogyny. Suddenly, people have got issue to jump on," Anurag said.

Salman, in a group interview to promote "Sultan", made the remark that he felt like a "raped woman" after one gruelling shoot for the wrestling drama.
