Kapil Sharma seems to have landed himself in hot water once again and this time it’s for his humor on The Kapil Sharma Show. The actor has been making headlines for the all wrong reasons.
Recently, Sanjay Dutt arrived at The Kapil Sharma Show, to promote his now-released Panipat. In the show, he was asked about his girlfriend count by the show’s host Kapil Sharma.
In the episode, Kapil Sharma recalled a scene from Sanjay Dutt’s biopic Sanju. Kapil expressed admiration towards Dutt for having more than 300 girlfriends which were a joke mentioned in a film. Dutt’s response to this and said that he is currently considering his co-star Kriti Sanon to be his 309th girlfriend owing to her impressive performance in the film, he joked.
War actress Dipannita Sharma slammed the host Kapil Sharma and the audience for laughing over it. She wrote on her Twitter, “An actor on a show to promote his next release talks about his score of over 300 girlfriends.The host & audience laughs in good jest.What If a woman said the same thing on a show?Would that be a joke too?This basic gender bias is what has always been wrong.The root of all evil !”
Take a look at the Twitter reactions:
“That actor is almost a senior citizen now and still consider himself a baba, what else can you expect..”
“It’s not so much as double standards as it is male arrogance. They shouldn’t talk about the number of women they’ve dated. It’s just cheap to call women a ‘score.’ I mean what sort of upbringing does one have to make a count of other human beings? Appalling!”
“Well said @Dipannitasharma…
All these evil deed against women hood happen bcoz of such ill mindset… people make fun of it
shamelessly…the person who says so gets glorified.
Had it been said by a girl,then people would raise questions on her character…”
“Totally agree with you! Double standards of our society. We have progressed on various fronts, yet we have different rules for men and women! Really sad!”
