The saddest part of #GunjanSaxena review is women completely dismissing her story because 'they' think it could have NEVER happened cuz it dint happen to them or the people they know!

Where else have we heard this trope before?
Everytime! #MeToo is full of these responses! even the chairperson, NCW has joined this rhetoric, unfortunately. Ma'am, really? this movie has to be banned? And, all the other bollywood films, actually problematic ones, overtly sexualizing women can continue to play?
i mean, arjun reddy???
