Since the release of ‘Kabir Singh’, it has been making the rounds of the internet for its portrayal of ‘toxic masculinity’. Although it has done exceptionally well at the box office, most people have not been in agreement with the film.

Recently, in an interview with Anupama Chopra for ‘Film Companion’, Sandeep Reddy Vanga (the director of ‘Kabir Singh’) said, “When you are deeply in love and deeply connected to a woman (and vice versa), if you don’t have the liberty of slapping each other, then I don’t see anything there.

Yet again, this statement too did not sit well with many people and among them was ‘Sacred Games’ star Kubbra Sait. Reportedly, viewers started supporting the director by using the hashtag ‘We support Sandeep Reddy Vanga’. Kubbra, on the other hand, posted a couple of hilarious videos on her Twitter in response to this statement. One video had Goldie Behl as well. They are seen slapping each other wearing oven mitts and there’s one where she’s slapping herself calling it ‘self-love’.

After sharing the video, she also wrote, “I am being sarcastic! No sir it’s not the way one defines love. That’s a toxic real-time relationship. It shouldn’t exist. Thank You @goldiebehl for ending the bender of a night with this jewel ? Hahahhaha!!”
