Annu Kapoor Defends 'Milky Body' Comment, Cites British Slavery
23 Jul
Summary
- Annu Kapoor defended his 'dudhiya badan' comment about Tamannaah.
- He claimed Indians are still mentally enslaved by the British.
- Kapoor offered an apology if Tamannaah was genuinely hurt.
Actor Annu Kapoor has reiterated his defense for a recent "dudhiya badan" comment made about actress Tamannaah, linking it to India's ongoing "mental slavery" to the British. Kapoor asserted that his remarks were not intended to disrespect women and that the backlash stems from a deeper cultural issue.
During a recent interview, Kapoor questioned why "milky body" is acceptable while "dudhiya badan" sparks controversy. He elaborated that India gained political freedom in 1947 but remains mentally enslaved to British norms. He emphasized his personal stance against disrespecting any individual.
Kapoor also expressed his willingness to apologize to Tamannaah if she was indeed hurt by his statement. The controversial comment originated from a YouTube interview last year where Kapoor described Tamannaah's "dudhiya badan" after viewing a song clip, wishing well for her and the country's children.
This defense comes as Tamannaah herself previously addressed being labeled "milky beauty," stating that glamour should be celebrated and women should embrace it. Her song 'Aaj Ki Raat' had achieved significant popularity.
