Aamir Khan expressed his concern recently about how some hyper-masculine, chauvinistic films are doing well at the box-office and said that it has ‘pushed us back a decade’. The actor also opened up on the deep-rootedness of patriarchy in men and said that these things take time to go away.
In an interview with BBC Asian Network, Aamir was asked of his opinion on films that present a certain chauvinistic image of a man. He replied, “Not nice. It pushes us back a decade. So that's sad. I wish we didn't see that, but that's part of life. The fact is that each one has their own opinion. People have different opinions. A lot of people endorse patriarchy in a strong way, a lot of people endorse patriarchy in a very hidden way. So that's something that we have to deal with”.
