Mukesh Khanna says '#MeToo began because women started working,' faces backlash on Twitter

Mukesh Khanna, known for his roles in Shaktiman, in a recent interview said that the #MeToo movement started because women began thinking themselves at par with men. The actor also added that it is the duty of women to take care of the household.

In an interview to Filmy Charcha, the actor said women and men are different. He went on to add that the job of a woman is to take care of household works and the problem of #MeToo began when women started working.

"Aaj aurat mard ke saath kandhe se kandha milane ki baat karti hai (Today, women talk about walking shoulder-to-shoulder with their male counterpart),” the actor added.

The actor further said, “Log women’s lib ki baat karenge, lekin main aapko bata doon, problem yahin se shuru hoti hai. (People talk about liberation of women, but let me tell you that the main problem begins from here)."

He said because of this the first person who suffers is their child. It is because the child does not have a mother taking care of him at home.

The actor even went on to say that it all began when women started saying that they want to do what men do. A man is a man and a woman is a woman.

The statement made by the actor was not well received by people who took to social media to lambast Mukesh. Critising his words, one user wrote, "Disgusting mindset," while another wrote, "What a disappointment."

Here's what others wrote:

According to a report by Hindustan Times, Mukhesh Khanna earlier refused to appear in The Kapil Sharma Show with the cast of Mahabharat and said the show was full of double meaning words, taking a turn towards vulgarity with every moment.

He also said that men in the comedy show, men wear women's clothes and do cheap things to make people laugh.

Oscars 2021 adds in-person UK hub for international nominees amid travel concerns during pandemic

With less than a month until showtime, the 93rd Oscars are taking another pass at the script. Show producers Steven Soderbergh, Jesse Collins and Stacey Sher remain determined to have an i n-person ceremony on 25 April in Los Angeles but told nominees on Tuesday in a virtual meeting that they’ve added a British hub after some backlash from nominees about international travel restrictions. The main event will still take place at Los Angeles’ Union station which will include a red carpet component but they are planning something special for the UK location. The show is also working with local broadcast affiliates around the world to provide satellite links for other international nominees. They said they are not totally ruling out Zoom but are hoping it doesn’t come to that. Although plans and requirements remain fluid, attendees have been told they’re expected to quarantine for 10 days prior to the show. And everyone is being told to bring a mask, even if the show is being designed...

In conversation with Christopher Doyle, cinematographer of Wong Kar-Wai cinema: How we react to spaces energizes the film

The New Yorker critic Anthony Lane described the cinematography of Christopher Doyle as “a snake — savouring the air of the streets.” Across the Atlantic Ocean, on BBC , he is credited with “changing the look of cinema”. Doyle’s “anti-Hollywood” aesthetic, associated with the streaks of thick, luminous paint in Wong Kar-wai’s films, have a striking and lasting visual vitality. It has often been described as “post-modern” — though what that means exactly is everybody’s guess. My guess is the reliance, in his images, on feelings over narrative, on style over substance — the kind that skyrocketed post-World War II artists like Mark Rothko into fame. Rothko would just paint fields of colour, and people would stand and weep in front of his large, enveloping canvases. The effect of Doyle’s imagery is not much different.  For all his artistry, Doyle is flippant, moony, and charming. During an e-mail exchange produced below, edited for length and clarity, Doyle warns, “I think you s...
