Actor Shivaji Sparks Controversy Over Remarks on Women’s Attire
He is set to appear next in the upcoming film Dhandoraa.
Actor Shivaji, who recently made a grand comeback with the web series 90s and the feature film Court: State Vs. A Nobody, has been busy with a string of new projects. He is set to appear next in the upcoming film Dhandoraa.
During a recent promotional event, Shivaji sparked controversy with his remarks regarding women's clothing. He stated that women look most beautiful in traditional attire and that a woman's beauty is enhanced by wearing a saree. He claimed that while people might compliment the look to one's face, they might secretly judge or cuss the individual for not wearing more modest clothing.
Netizens have criticized the actor, calling his remarks outdated and intrusive, with many arguing that he has no right to comment on how women choose to dress.
It remains to be seen whether Shivaji will issue an apology or address the growing criticism. He was particularly targeting actresses' dressing style in film events. As such, his remarks were specifically aimed at shaming female actors.
