“Mallika Sherawat Made A Laughing Stock Of Herself…”: When Kareena Kapoor Khan Took An Unmissable Dig At The Murder Actress!

Kareena Kapoor Khan is often known for speaking out her mind without mincing words. The actress had also sparked some controversies in the past due to the same. She had once taken an unmissable dig at actress Mallika Sherawat after the latter spoke about women being sexualized in the movies of Raj Kapoor, who happens to be Kareena’s grandfather.

According to a report in Filmibeat, in a throwback interview with journalist Syed Firdaus Ashraf, Kareena Kapoor Khan had spoken about her 2003 film Chameli not having enough intimate scenes despite the movie having a backdrop of prostitution. She compared her character to that of Waheeda Rahman in the 1957 film, Pyaasa. She said, “When trade people saw Chameli, they were like, “Arre Chameli mein thoda sex missing tha [there wasn’t enough sex appeal in Chameli]. They don’t understand that in Pyaasa, Waheedaji [Rehman] was not doing sex scenes [either]. I am sorry, you cannot expect Raj Kapoor’s granddaughter to do those kind of scenes.”

However, she was immediately informed by the interviewer how Mallika Sherawat said that her grandfather and legendary filmmaker-producer Raj Kapoor also sexualized women in her movies. This left Kareena Kapoor Khan upset and she took a sharp jibe at the Murder actress. Kareena said, “She doesn’t realise what she is talking about. She made a laughing stock of herself. She is talking about a legend. Raj Kapoor always presented a woman gracefully and tastefully.”
