Kartik Aaryan has built an entire career on misogyny and hatred for women. For the longest time, the actor was known as the ‘monologue guy’ for his rant against women in Pyaar Ka Punchnama. The monologue went viral and was shared massively on social media and on WhatsApp.
Now, the actor has come under massive heat for his sexist and rape-apologist dialogue in the soon-to-be-released Pati, Patni Aur Woh.
“Biwi se sex maang lein toh hum bikhaari. Biwi ko sex na de toh hum atyachaari. Aur kisi tarah jugaad laga ke usse sex haasil kar lena toh balaatkari bhi hum hai. (If we ask our wives for sex then we’re called beggars, if we deny them sex then we’re called torturers, and if we coerce them into having sex with us, we’re called rapists),” he says in the dialogue in the trailer for the movie.
Yes, you read that right. What the actor is referring to is marital rape which is still not punishable in our country.
After having faced massive flak for it on social media, media reports state that the dialogue will be removed from the film.
We’ll just have to wait and watch.
