Imtiaz Ali says it's not okay when someone says, 'I'm comfortable in my burqa or parda': 'It's a degenerated society'
Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is known for the strong female characters in his movies which break stereotypes and live life on their own terms. Recently, in an interview, when the filmmaker was told about it, he said he feels extremely proud of it. Imtiaz is back now with another film, ' Main Vaapas Aunga ' which is getting rave reviews from everyone. Amidst that, his recent comments have sparked a debated on social media. The ' Jab We Met ' director shared his thoughts on burqa and parda and said that he is not okay with women saying they are comfortable with it.
A viral video of him from this interview with Unfiltered by Samdish sees him saying, "I don't like when someone says ‘I am comfortable in my Burqa. I am comfortable in my parda’. It's a degenerated society, if you feel like this, it's not okay." He added further, "It means that you have become so victimized in your mind, I don't know how."
Reacting to it, Samdish said, "Sometimes, I don't even understand this Imtiaz, because we talk to different groups of society. The society will continue to be like this, one group talks to another group and ultimately it's just communities interacting with each other at one point. So, if in that, let's say there is a community, let's say we all come from different tribes. One tribe says, I have figured out that my women will live in purdah, I will live like this and we all are in agreement. So, who am I to stop them? Main unko tokunga kya? I am not someone who will stop others"
