Bhumi Pednekar Apologizes For Kartik Aaryan's Marital Rape Dialogue In Pati Patni Aur Woh's Trailer

Social media users have slammed the makers of Pati Patni Aur Woh for a dialogue on marital rape in the film's trailer.

New Delhi: The trailer of Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday starrer ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’ was released earlier this week and it managed to garner mixed responses. Several social media users slammed the makers for a dialogue spoken by the lead actor Kartik in which he can be seen joking about marital. Twitterati didn’t take kindly the dialogue and lashed out the actors, director and producer for including the controversial monologue in the film. Kartik can be seen saying the dialogue, "Biwi se sex maang lein, toh hum bhikaari. Biwi ko sex mana kar dein, toh hum atyachaari aur kisi tarah jugaad laga ke uss se sex haasil kar lein na toh balaatkaari bhi hum hain (If we ask our wives for sex then we are beggars, if we deny them sex then we’re torturers, and if in case we coerce them into having sex with us, we’re labeled as rapists)," in the trailer of ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’. Bhumi Pednekar, who plays the role of Vedika in the film, apologized for the controversial dialogue in the trailer. The ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ actress, while talking to a portal, said that the makers had no intention of hurting anybody’s sentiments. “If we have hurt anybody’s sentiments, we are sorry, because that wasn’t the intention. But everybody who is involved in Pati Patni Aur Woh, does not belong to that school, does not belong to that thought process,” Bhumi told Zoom TV.
