Annu Kapoor Milky Body Remark On Tamannaah: Once again, veteran actor Annu Kapoor has come under fire over an objectifying comment just like his comment about actress Tamannaah Bhatia. In a recent interview with YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra, Kapoor made comments concerning a clip from the song by Tamannaah on Aaj Ki Raat, and: “Mashallah, kya dudhiya badan hai” (what a milky body she has).
This statement, intended for laughs, sparked a wave of controversy. Then came a series of Annu’s other “crude” and “vulgar” comments, especially with his suggestive remark regarding Tamannaah’s look, and then his previous comment regarding children sleeping to her song.
Netizens were soon seen posting angry and disappointed messages on various social media platforms about the emerging complaint. Many of them accused the veteran actor of being disrespectful towards another artist and crossing the line of decency. There were comments such as “This is not humor, it’s harassment” and “He should know better at his age.”
Others wondered why such remarks were so easily allowed to pass without condemnation and termed it indicative of the casual sexism permeating the industry. Fans of Tamannaah praised her professionalism and demanded a public apology from Kapoor; they contended that such comments further democratized objectification of women in public discourse.
This controversy is once again stirring the age-old debate regarding the very language that public figures tend to use while keeping especially women in the entertainment field as their primary focus. While it is all completely true that Tamannaah herself has not yet given any such statements, the highly posted diatribes do point toward a rapidly growing intolerance to the type of inappropriate humor masquerading as admiration.

As social media users relentlessly continue condemning the statement issued by the actor, this incident actually serves to point out that respect and restraint should never really go out of style irrespective of how seasoned or celebrated one’s career may be.
