Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, who is popularly known for his roles in Mahabharat and Shaktiman, is being trolled on the social media for his sexist remarks against women. In a viral video, he raised question on the character of girls who ask boys for sex. He said such women are simply running a 'dhanda' (business) and are not from decent society.
In the video, he said, “Koi bhi ladki agar kisi ladke ko kahe ‘I want to have sex with you’, woh ladki, ladki nahi hai, woh dhanda kar rahi hai. Kyunki is tarah ki nirlaj baatein koi sabhya samaj ki ladki kabhi nahi karegi agar woh karti hai toh woh sabhya samaj ki nahi hai woh uska dandha hai yeh, aap uske bhaagidaar mat baniye (When a girl tells a boy 'I want to have sex with you', then she isn't a girl, she's running a business because no girl living in a civilized society would say such things. No girl would ever say such shameless things, if she does then she does not belong to a civilised society, it's her business, you must not be a party to it)."
The video has received backlash and Mukesh Khanna is being called out netizens for his sexist comments against women.
However, some users supported the actor by clarifying that he was talking about girls (fake accounts) who lure and fool innocent men and later blackmail them.
Actually, the viral clip is a part of video he had uploaded on his YouTube channel, Bheeshm International, earlier this week. He shared it with the title ‘Kya aapko bhi aisi ladkiya lubhati hain? (Do such girls lure you as well)'.
In the video, the actor was educating his fans against the fake social media accounts, claimed to be that of girls, which may persuade a person to send their nude pictures and then use it to blackmail them for money.
