Recently, Shabana, a proud feminist, admitted that she regrets starring in the romantic drama Thodisi Bewafaii (1980), even though she had as significant a role as Rajesh Khanna in it, because the film treated women as “secondary” and featured a highly misogynistic dialogue. The five-time National Award-winning actor also maintained that ever since she realised the movie’s undertones, she has made conscious efforts not to take on such projects. Javed, meanwhile, added to the discussion by stating that nobody would write such a line now. “There will be other things, yes. But this exact dialogue (Sasural ke ghar ka dukh bhi, maike ke sukh se achha lagta hai) won’t appear in a movie today. The template of sexism has changed because society has changed,” he pointed out during a conversation with Mojo Story. Also …
