Malavika Mohanan slams male co-stars who pretend to be feminists: ‘They know how to put on a mask’ | Malayalam News

Actor Malavika Mohanan has spoken up yet again against the deep-rooted misogyny in the film industry. This time around the actor has taken a dig at her male co-actors, who, according to her, are portraying a façade of feminism while showcasing completely opposite qualities behind the screen. In an interview with Hauterrfly, Malavika said, “I don’t think this disparity has ever ended in the film industry. I also think that men have really gotten smart, and I have seen this in a lot of male actors; suddenly, in the last 5–6 years, they know how to put on the mask of being woke.” She doubled down on her statements and pointed out that many actors are two-faced. “They know exactly what lines to say that make them come across like a feminist, as a very forward-thinking person, someone who treats women as equals. And I have seen them go back from the public eye and become the most misogynistic person ever. It’s hypocrisy.” Story continues below this ad Also Read | Malavika Mohanan admits South’s …
