Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani press conference: Karan Johar talks about Ranveer Singh-Churni Ganguly’s bra scene: “It was never a taboo topic for me. I have gone bra-shopping for my mother” : Bollywood News

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which was released last Friday, was not just another romcom. It raised several issues, and it has been well-applauded by the moviegoers. One of the significant sequences in the film is when Rocky (Ranveer Singh) accompanies Anjali Chatterjee (Churni Ganguly) for shopping. Unknowing to him, she takes him to a lingerie shop. The monologues of Anjali at this point got a lot of claps across the country.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani press conference: Karan Johar talks about Ranveer Singh-Churni Ganguly’s bra scene: “It was never a taboo topic for me. I have gone bra-shopping for my mother”

A press conference of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani was held today where the film’s team was present. Director Karan Johar was asked about this scene. He said, “I’ve been raised by a very progressive mother (Hiroo Yash Johar). It was never a taboo topic. I have gone shopping for her to buy a bra. It’s never been a problem with me. While I did it, there were friends who were horrified that I was doing it. They were wondering why I wasn’t designating this job to a female friend. I was like ‘Why? It’s been asked by my mother. Why should I send somebody else to do it? My mother is now 81. When she needs something and I am in a place which has ‘that something’, I have to go and buy what she wants. It could be a bra, or it could be any other item. That scene also seemed organic because I knew that there was a discomfort around it. There’s a line by Churni, ‘Sadiyon se auratein mardon ke chaddiyaan ghis rahi hai…ghis, ghis, ghis! Aur tum ek bra ko touch nahin kar sakte’! That to me was very definitive.”

Churni Ganguly added, “I remember ‘Ghis, ghis, ghis’ was a part of our improvisation. That is what women want to say. Personally, I am not so preachy! And I think I gave Ranveer a very bad time! But what has to be said, has to be said. And we made a very strong point there because of Karan.”
