Pati Patni Aur Woh director Mudassar Aziz on criticism: ‘Why can’t women like sex?’
Pati Patni Aur Woh director Mudassar Aziz questioned the criticism over Bhumi Pednekar’s dialogue in the film, in which she says that she likes sex.
Director Mudassar Aziz has reacted to people criticising a dialogue delivered by Bhumi Pednekar in the upcoming comedy, Pati Patni Aur Woh, where her character is seen saying she loves sex.
In the film’s trailer released a while back, Bhumi’s character meets the male protagonist (played by Kartik Aaryan) for a prospective arranged marriage. “Ji humein sex bohot pasand hai,” she tells him. While many Bollywood buffs had a hearty laugh over the dialogue, many others have objected it to it, saying it was adult humour and not suitable for family viewing, reports Times Now.
“Why do you have a problem when a woman says she loves sex? Why is that adult humour? When a man says he loves sex, you are okay with it, but when a woman says she loves sex, everyone has a problem. Why can’t a woman like sex? Does that make her a person of less character? Sex is as pleasurable for a man as it is for a woman,” Aziz said, interacting with the media while promoting the film.
Pati Patni Aur Woh stars Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday, and is a remake of BR Chopra’s 1978 hit of the same name. The film is slated to release on December 6.
