Apurva Asrani writes an open letter blaming pseudo-feminists. Is he targeting Kangana?

Actress Kangana Ranaut’s recent explosive interview on ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ is the talk of town nowadays. People have been watching the interview repeatedly and praising her for being gutsy enough to reveal inside details about her relationship with Hrithik Roshan, Aditya Pancholi, her nepotism controversy with Karan Johar and much more.

She even discussed the controversy of sharing the writing credits in the soon-to-release movie ‘Simran’. Now, the writer of the movie, Apurva Asrani has written a letter on his social media page taking an indirect dig at Kangana. He has stated that he doesn’t support pseudo-feminism and is not okay with women manipulating the world by shaming a man publicly.

Here is an excerpt from the post:

I’m frigging tired of this wave of pseudo-feminism that has swept our timelines and I want to call it out once & for all. Because women who transgress the limits of decency & fair play by saying ‘men did it, so why can’t we?’ only compound the problem.
As a gay man, I have suffered patriarchy all my life. But today, I also suffer the pseudo feminists, who cheer gleefully when a woman commits a crime.
The others, like public watching a matador and a raging bull, don’t care about right or wrong, they only applaud when they see blood.
We have become a society that celebrates a woman for being a ‘rule breaker’, but shames a man for the same. You forget that this breaking of rules, irrespective of gender, has a far deeper effect. It tramples on the lives of innocent people–those that you carelessly write off as collateral damage. I’m not ok with that. I’m not ok with women settling scores with men by falsely claiming they molested them. I’m not ok with women who can’t handle being broken up with and then manipulate the world to shame the man.
