Rani Mukerji And Deepika's Debate Over Women's Safety Re-Surfaces, Netizens Have Mixed Reactions

The entire nation is shaken by the brutal rape and murder case of a Kolkata-based doctor, and protests have been going on worldwide in the seek of justice. The incident, yet again, has raised a question about women's safety across the nation. Amid this, an old video of Deepika Padukone and Rani Mukerji about women's safety surfaced online, and netizens have been reacting to the same.

Rani Mukerji and Deepika Padukone's debate on female safety re-surfaces amid Kolkata case

The video, which was released in 2018, featured Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Tabu, Taapsee Pannu, and Anushka Sharma. In the video, all the actresses talked about women's safety. Rani shared her take on the same and revealed that girls should be powerful enough to defend themselves if any such situation occurs in their lives.

Rani added that girls should take responsibility to protect themselves and should have the courage to say 'back off' to a man with ill intentions. Rani could be quoted as saying:

"I think as a woman, you have to be that powerful yourself. If you ever come to a situation like that, you have the courage to say ‘back off.’ Everything relates to what you want in your life. If they are ever in a situation like that, they should make sure that the man suffers right there and then. Either kick him between his legs or give him a jhapad of his lifetime. He will remember it and become fearful of not doing it again.”

Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma didn't agree with the take. Deepika shared that learning to protect oneself is surely great, but not all girls are constructed in such a way. When Rani mentioned that girls also need to take responsibility for themselves and learn martial arts, Deepika replied that it's about self-defence, which is great, but why do people have to reach a stage wherein they have to defend themselves? Thus, the situation itself should not arise. Deepika said:

"We’re now talking about self-defense. Why should it even get to that stage where I need to learn how to defend myself? All of these things are great, but nip it in the bud; that situation itself should not arise.”

Some other users hailed Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone for their take on the same matter. One user penned, "Love how Deepika and Anushka didn't agree to her one bit." A second user commented, "Rani is practical here, other actresses are talking about how a normal world should be. The world is, unfortunately, not normal. It's extremely weird and ready to eat you up at every step of the way."
