To
Go
Away
Karan
said
that
objectification
of
women
in
cinema
and
small
screen
needs
to
stop
and
added,
"The
moment
you
put
a
woman
in
the
centre
and
a
thousand
men
looking
at
her
lustingly,
it's
setting
the
wrong
example."
He
Apologized
For
Having
Item
Songs
In
His
Own
Films
"As
a
film
maker
I
have
made
those
mistakes
and
I
will
never
do
it
again."
Be
Responsible
Filmmakers
"Films
set
the
fabric
of
our
times.
They
can
be
immensely
impressionable.
When
you
show
a
man
chasing
a
woman,
it
seems
like
it
all
so
passionate
in
love
but
it
could
amount
to
stalking.
When
you
show
a
man
being
abusive
to
a
woman
you
think
he
is
being
angry
but
no,
he
is
being
wrong.
Things
you
show
on
celluloid
sometimes
set
a
template.
So
we
as
film
makers
need
to
be
very
responsible.Sometimes
you
don't
realise
the
things
you
write
or
project
but
you
don't
know
that
they
will
actually
impact
society."
It's
My
Instinct
To
Be
A
Feminist
"For
me
feminism
is
beyond
what
we
know
it
is.
It's
hard
for
one
word
to
encapsulate
the
power
of
a
woman.
Having
the
been
raised
by
a
wonderful
and
progressive
woman,
my
mom
and
even
my
aunts
-
I
think
progressiveness
was
in
my
DNA.
To
me
it's
my
instinct
to
be
a
feminist...to
have
a
progressive
stance
on
what
woman
can
achieve
in
the
world.
I
am
a
total
feminist."
Here's
What
He
Says
About
Portrayal
Of
Women
In
Films
"I
don't
know
if
I
draw
a
distinction
in
my
head.
I
just
react
to
human
beings
no
matter
what
gender
they
are.
I
have
met
women
who
have
a
certain
more
masculine
energy
about
them.
I
am
telling
a
story.
If
the
woman
has
a
lot
to
do
in
the
film,
then
that's
the
story.
My
sense
of
belief
in
equality
is
such
a
part
of
my
grain
that
I
don't
know
how
to
disassociate
from
it."
His
Take
On
The
Harvey
Weinstein
Case
"Do
you
think
it
has
given
the
entire
industry
a
bad
name?
"Not
at
all.
It
gives
you
policing
and
accountability
and
that
is
a
good
thing.
There
are
dark
zones
of
the
entertainment
industry
where
there
are
powerful
people
taking
advantage
of
their
positions
-
sometimes
sexually
and
sometimes
otherwise.
I
am
glad
this
is
being
covered
by
the
media.
Hopefully
now
people
will
think
twice.
Once
you
are
in
a
position
of
power,
you
think
you
own
everything,
including
their
libidos.
I
don't
think
that's
done.
Anything
that's
mutual
is
great...if
it's
amiable.
If
it
doesn't
amount
to
any
tragic
use
of
power.
These
incidents,
the
Harvey
Weinstein
case
and
others
that
came
out
as
a
result
of
the
Weinstein
explosion,
I
think
it's
great.
Conversation
changes
things.
Fear
psychosis
has
spread
and
everyone
is
being
more
careful.
Not
just
in
the
film
fraternity
but
fraternities
across."
KJo
Talks
About
Pay
Disparity
"It's
about
a
trajectory
that
everyone
conforms
to,
which
is
as
a
result
of
the
balance
sheets
they
see.
When
a
Shahrukh
Khan
film
does
an
X
amount,
and
opens
to
that
number
on
a
Friday,
you
know
that's
why
he
gets
that
kind
of
money.
But
I
am
sure
if
a
woman
opened
to
that
number,
she
would
be
totally
achieving
that.
But
then
you
would
argue
you
don't
give
women
a
chance.
And
that
is
yes
a
point
of
argument.
Everything
big
scale
invariably
is
held
by
a
man.
But
everything
is
changing.
Tomorrow
is
about
content.
Wonder
woman
for
example.
It
was
in
line
with
the
boys,
right
up
there
with
all
male
super
hero
films.
Yes
it
is
going
to
all
change."
