Television actress turned politician Smriti Irani joined the list of people who showered praises on Taapsee Pannu and Abhinav Sinha sharing the trailer of their upcoming film Thappad. Though Smriti admitted that she does not stand by their political ideologies, she would still watch Thappad, stressing that it is not okay to hit women
"How many have heard 'aurat ko hi adjust karna padta hai (a woman has to bear everything)'? How many think 'ki maar pitai sirf gareeb auraton ke hi pati karte hai (Only poor women are beaten up by their husbands)'? How many believe 'ki educated aadmi kabhi haath nahi uthata (educated man never hits)'? How many tell their girls their daughter-in-laws 'koi baat nahi beta aisa to humare saath bhi hua lekin dekho aaj kitne khush hai (we have also gone through the same thing but see how happy we are now)'? I might not support the political ideology of the director or may disagree with some actors on some issues but this is a story that I will definitely watch and hope people watch it with their families. It’s not ok to hit a woman ... not even a slap ... not even JUST one slap Courtesy: @tseries.official," the union minister wrote.
Taapsee, who plays an educated woman who won’t tolerate domestic violence in the name of love, in a recent interview, spoke about her character and said, "The character Amrita was suffocating for me in the end and I took it as a challenge. After 15 days of shooting, I started feeling claustrophobic. It was tough for me."
Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Thappad is set to hit theatres on February 28. It also features Pavail Gulati, Ratna Pathak Shah, Tanvi Azmi, Dia Mirza, Ram Kapoor, and Kumud Mishra among others.
