Taking to Twitter, the actor who rules Bengali cinema wrote that if it were a woman in the shoot, people would have burned her house down and slut shamed her.

In another tweet, she questioned, ‘where is equality now?’ She also asked people to broaden their perspectives as that body comes with a lot of sacrifices.
We talk about Equality where is that now??!!!!You know right its your perspective that can change something or destroy it https://t.co/xFCpF3qMcr this case lets broaden our perspective coz that body comes with a lot of sacrifice trust me🙏(No salt, No sugar, No carbs…) 1/2

While she expressed her concern over gender equality, her tweet was met with a lot of diverse reactions. Those who lined with her thoughts said this.
no in case of women, forget about appreciation, our so called society will start giving them lecture on "sanskar" and tradition https://t.co/C1q2OLkV3G

Actually the appreciation would have been much more if it was a woman. But yes, you are right, the trolling would have been more intense and almost certainly more abusive. But that’s because we men are so much more hypocritical.

Those who were in disagreement had this to say.
No mam. Actually women are doing this for decades. So many models, actresses, just have a click on net. Ranveer Singh actually cracks this glass shield for men. Welcome to celebration of female gaze.

I get your point but its hypothetical.. We had similar shoots with Milind Soman & Madhu Sapre in the past.. There were some sparks but largely people were cool abt it

What do you think of her opinions? Have women got so much appreciation for taking the same route?
