Mumbai: Bhumi Pedneker recently opened up on the controversy surrounding her upcoming film Pati Patni Aur Woh over a dialogue on marital rape which has hurt the sentiments of a large population.
In the trailer, Kartik Aaryan who plays the role of Chintu Tyagi in the film cribs about his sex-deprived life to his friend played by Aparshakti Khurrana saying, "Biwi se sex maang lein toh hum bikhaari. Biwi ko sex na de toh hum atyachaari. Aur kisi tarah jugaad laga ke usse sex haasil kar lena toh balaatkari bhi hum hai. (If we ask our wives for sex then we’re called beggars, if we deny them sex then we’re called torturers, and if we coerce them into having sex with us, we’re called rapists)."
The monologue didn't go down well with many of the netizens who have heavily trolled the makers for using the derogatory dialogue in the trailer.
In a recent interview with a leading newswire, Bhumi, who plays Chintu Tyagi's wife in the film, addressed the controversy, apologizing for hurting sentiments of the people.
