After Farhan Akhtar, Yami Gautam shared her view on Kangana Ranaut- Hrithik Roshan controversy

The infamous Hrithik Roshan -Kangana Ranaut feud has reached new level altogether. Kangana Ranaut has said her side of the story and Hrithik Roshan has addressed his side of the story about their alleged relationship and explicit email exchange. Since Hrithik Roshan’s first sit down interview this past weekend, celebrities are now expressing their views on the controversy and asking to believe the facts.

After Farhan Akhtar, Yami Gautam shared her view on Kangana Ranaut- Hrithik Roshan controversy

On Sunday, Farhan Akhtar wrote an elaborate post on the controversy where he did not mention the names of any of the two parties involved. On Monday morning, Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil co-star Yami Gautam shared her view on the same, but without mentioning Hrithik-Kangana’s names. Yami Gautam also wrote an elaborate note on the current controversy surrounding two of the biggest stars in our industry.

Here is what Yami Gautam wrote on Hrithik-Kangana controversy:

“I am usually not very vocal on social media, but I am making an exception today, since as a woman, what I am seeing right now terrifies me.

This is concerning the matter surrounding two of the biggest stars in our industry. I have, fortunately, had the opportunity to work with one of them. However, I am not writing this as a co-star or even as a friend. I am writing this as a woman and a concerned citizen of the country, and I will try to get my point across as succinctly and as objectively as possible.

I am no legal expert. And I am not privy to the details of the case. I know what has been reported in the media, and I am all for good, honest reporting. However, somehow, the tussle has turned into a gender war, with a certain faction of the society having already declared the man guilty. People have presumed that since he is a man, he must be the guilty party, since that is how it has always been. Men have oppressed women in one way or another for centuries, and it’s being presumed that it is the same in this case, too.

And that’s dangerous. Whatever happened to innocent, until proven guilty? Whatever happened to letting the law take its own course? Yes, a lot of times, at least in this country, we have take to the streets to get justice. But that’s not the case here. The police is investigating, and both the parties are privileged enough that they can represent themselves in court and fight this out legally. Sadly, our law and order is sort of classist, but let’s not digress.

Here is why this vilification of a man based on make-believe evidence is dangerous. If the gender-card is allowed to take precedence over facts and objectivity, it will be a serious blow to the on-going efforts of getting women an equal standing with the opposite sex. If this baseless trial-by-media is allowed to continue, where one party has been presumed to be guilty, there is a good likelihood that people might lose faith in this equal-rights-for-all movement that has picked up momentum in India only in recent years.

I am not exonerating anyone here. I am also not suggesting malice by any one party. All I am saying is, let’s not make it a fight between genders. Let’s keep it a fight between two people who may or may not have corresponded in the past. Let the facts be unearthed and until then, let’s reserve our judgements.

Just because this is a fight between a man and a woman does not mean it has to be a fight between genders. Making everything a gender issue can easily distract us from addressing legit sexist issues that plague our society.”
