Katrina Kaif defends Rohit Shetty’s sexist comment on her; says, “It was taken out of context”

After Rohit Shetty’s comment on Katrina Kaif, netizens slammed the filmmaker for his demeaning remark on the actress. But, Katrina has come to defend Rohit. She posted a statement on her Instagram story where she wrote that the filmmaker’s comment has been “taken out of context.” She wrote, “Dear Friends and Well-wishers… I normally do not comment on media reports or articles… But in this case, I feel a comment made by Rohit Sir has been taken out of context and is been entirely misunderstood. I am referring to the comment as reported that Rohit Shetty said, ‘No one would look at me in the frame, as there are three boys there and a blast happening.’ This is not what was said.”

Katrina said that she shares a “warm equation and friendship” with Rohit Shetty. “I mentioned that I had blinked in the shot and Rohit sir said, ‘There are four people together in the frame and a bomb blast happening, no one will notice you blinking.’ Even, in spite of that, we still did one more take. I share a very warm equation and friendship with Rohit sir and have always enjoyed our discussions on everything from cinema to my character and, more importantly, he has always been there as a friend for me. This has been taken entirely taken out of context. Hope you all have a great day,” she further wrote in the statement.
