Rishab Shetty Reacts To Criticism Of Women Characters In Kantara; Samay Raina Takes Jabs At Dhanashree Verma?
Rishab Shetty’s Kantara that released in 2022 became a milestone for the Kannada film industry. However, it received flak for its portrayal of women, particularly the character played by Sapthami Gowda. It was criticised for the protagonist Shiva’s misogynistic behaviour and the voyeuristic depiction of his love interest as passive and villainous. Now, as Kantara Chapter 1 has released in theatres, Rishab seemingly takes a jibe at those criticisms. Speaking exclusively to News18 Showsha, he says, “I don’t agree when you say that Kantara is a man’s world. The character of the mother (played by Manasi Sudhir) in the first film was very prominent. The character of the daiva nartak is key in the story but the mother’s role is also very important.”
Comedian Samay Raina recently featured in a cheeky advertisement for a cosmetic brand with Yuzvendra Chahal’s rumoured girlfriend RJ Mahvash. In the ad, Samay seemingly took jabs at Chahal’s ex-wife Dhanashree Verma. While neither of them directly named Dhanashree, they made a series of references that fans believe were clear jabs at her and her past with the cricketer. Samay Raina spoke about his ‘rise and fall’ within two months, and also appeared to reference the alleged Rs 4.75 crore alimony. He also wore a T-shirt with “Be Your Own Sugar Daddy” printed on it. Yuzvendra reacted to Samay and Mahvash’s ad, warning the comedian to ‘be ready for one more case’.
