Ektaa Kapoor and Rhea slam a journalist in latest post

Ektaa Kapoor and Rhea shared a post to slam the journalist. The post reads, “I’ve never read trade websites nor have they ever informed the films I choose to make. However, it has come to my attention that one so-called ‘credible’ trade journalist has been posting dangerous hate speech against myself and my co-producers. Admitting that he hasn’t seen the film, he’s angered by our message – women’s rejection of shame. Stating that these stories have no place in ‘Hindi cinema’, he spews misogynistic rhetoric and encourages violence against us.”

Talking about Thank You For Coming, Ektaa wrote, “The intent of this film was very clear from the beginning. To reject shame, reject your past traumas and embrace yourself just as you are.”
