Taapsee Pannu Highlights Audience Role in Addressing Objectification in Indian Cinema
Actor Taapsee Pannu addressed the ongoing debate about the objectification of women in Indian cinema, highlighting recent criticism of films like Peddi and Toxic. She noted the industry's tendency to justify such portrayals as audience-driven demand, while also pointing out that social media users contribute by sharing and zooming in on such content. Taapsee emphasized that this 'demand and supply' mindset sidelines artistic quality, and she called on audiences to support change, as actors alone cannot reverse the trend.
