Actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who works in Bollywood as well as south Indian films and is well appreciated, had to leave the screening of Aamir Khan’s wonderful film Dangal just to lash out at this director for his sexist comments! Another popular south actress, Nayanthara, joined in to give a fitting reply to director Suraj (aka Suraaj) for his snide remarks on heroines in commercial cinema. According to Suraj, heroines are meant to wear short dresses in the movies. The director shamelessly said in a video interview that without caring about their comfort or their consent, he makes his heroines wear skimpy clothes, as he feels his paying audience needs to be “given their due” for buying tickets to his movies. Suraj was speaking with reference to his movie Kaththi Sanda starring Tamannaah Bhatia in a glam avatar.
Suraj has been quoted as saying, “If the costume designer comes to me with heroine’s clothes covering up to the knee, I would strictly order them to shorten the length. I don’t mind even if my heroine is not happy or comfortable. But I insist and get it done. This is because audience pay money to see the heroines in such clothes. Let heroines show their acting skills in television serials. When it comes to commercial films, they are paid only to provide the required sizzle to the money paying audience.” To which his heroine Tamannaah Bhatia gave a detailed reply on Twitter, obviously feeling insulted. Here’s what Tamannaah said on Twitter about Suraj and also see the video interview of Suraj!

Nayanthara is equally mad at Suraj and told Sify.com, “How can a responsible person from film industry make such a crass and cheap comment? Who is Suraj to say such a degrade statement against heroines? Does he think that heroines are strippers who will come and shed their clothes just because they are paid money? Will he dare to speak such things about the working women in his family?” She added, “At a time when films like Pink and Dangal speak about women empowerment and respect to women, in which era does Suraj belong to? A heroine wears skimpy clothes in commercial cinema only if she is comfortable and the script requires it. And which audience is he speaking about who pay money to see heroine in bad light? Our audiences who look up to film stars are far more mature and respects women more than Suraj does. And by making such comments that heroines take money to shed clothes, he is misleading the youngsters who will think this is what happens in cinema. I too have done my share of glamour in commercial films not because my director wanted to please that particular ‘low class’ of audience, but because it was my CHOICE. No one has the right to think that heroines can be taken for granted.”
We salute these gutsy girls for doing the kind of things they want to do and also speaking out their mind!
