Motwane quoted it in the context of his film Kabir Singh. The fans didn’t like it and started pouring in comments as soon as he tweeted this. Now, in an interview to an online portal, TV actress Divyanka Tripathi has come out and supported Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
“Why does entertainment always have to be about morals and fairytales in India? Films are also a reflection of the society we live in. People like Kabir Singh do exist. It is a direct depiction of this twisted character, that doesn’t preach about how he should or shouldn’t have been,” Divyanka said in a statement.
She further added, “Cinema is not always a moral science class and we shouldn’t pigeon hole a film into a family film just because it is performed by a commercial actor. If it had an offbeat actor in it, people would have received it differently.”
