BHUMI'S CONTRADICTORY STATEMENT

In an interview with a news agency, Bhumi was quoted saying that in her opinion the makers have not made a sexist and baseless film. "I do not think anyone who is part of this film, including us actors, belong to that school. We were extremely conscious of the fact that we do not end up making it into a sexist comment... This is a subject that could have gone wrong easily. But they (the makers) have been sensitive and careful. I have to say it is a big achievement."
