Veteran actor Annu Kapoor slammed by netizens for remarks on ‘creepy’ remarks about Tamannaah Bhatia

Annu Kapoor, the veteran actor seen in roles across films including Jolly LLB, Vicky Donor, Dream Girl, is facing backlash after problematic comments on actor Tamannaah Bhatia.

In a video uploaded on Shubhanker Mishra's YouTube channel on October 11, when asked about the actress and her performance in the song, Kapoor replied, “Mashallah kya dudhiya badan hai (Oh my god, what a milky body she has).”

In the video he further said, “Kitne umar ke baache so jaate hain… 70 saal ke umar ka bhi bachcha ho sakta hai na? Main hota toh puchta ke kitne umar ke so jaate hain. Angreezi mein bolte hain that he is 70 years old; woh 70 saal purana bacha hai… And he is 11 and an 11-year-old Buddha (Kids of which age sleep? A 70-year-old can also be a kid. I would have asked this question to her.)”

Netizens poured out their anguish regarding his problematic comments. One user commented, "Such a senior actor and the language he has! He has lost his mind, shows his mentality towards women".

Another wrote, “How can you post such a creepy thing about a woman on the internet!”

Another user wrote, “What Annu Kapoor said about Tamannaah Bhatia—if some man said the same thing about your sister or daughter, how would you feel?”
