Rani Mukherjee disagrees with Deepika, Anushka on #MeToo; gets slammed on Twitter for 'self-defence' commentAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Dec 30 (AZINS) Rani Mukerji might be a widely loved personality thanks to the charm she carries from the 90s and has still managed to win hearts on screen till date, but the actress definitely has a viewpoint on the ongoing Me Too movement which wasn’t appreciated by most, including actresses Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone.
Anushka, Deepika, Rani, Alia Bhatt, Tabu and Taapsee Pannu were called on a round-table conference meet, where he got the topic which became one of the biggest highlights of 2018, and had to do with women celebrities.
Anushka, Deepika and Alia had supported the movement even previously and they maintained that Me Too movement is a good move, since Karan (Johar) rightly said, now people think twice before acting around women.
But Rani, who made her way to the conference for her role in Hitchki as a teacher who stands tall for her rowdy students, made a point which appeared very bizarre to most people. She said ‘self-defence’ is necessary and so learning martial arts is important and it should become a part of the school schedule.
To that, Deepika made a very valid point saying ‘but why to even bring it to the point where girls should learn self-defence’ and Anushka agreed with Deepika, to which Rani defended saying, “You can’t tell mothers how to bring up their children”, which has been picked up by Twitter and created a rage among the Twitteratis, because what was Rani even thinking!? Here are some of the reactions…
A random person even commented on her Kuch Kuch Hota hai character saying
Alia also tried to put across her point for some time over the issue but soon enough kept mum when the other ladies spoke. Meanwhile, Tabu and Taapsee Pannu didn’t even try to take any sides or speak about the topic.
