People should work on their EI: Prasanna on 'anti-men' allegation of Chiraiya
India, April 3 -- The recently released web series Chiraiya continues to be a topic of public discourse for touching on the subject of consent and marital rape. Actor Prasanna Bisht, who plays Pooja, the victim of marital rape in the show, reacts to its criticism of being an 'anti-men propaganda.'
"The show is all about explaining that a woman's body belongs to the woman and what the meaning of consent is. If you think that is propaganda, then it's extremely sad. Whoever is saying that, should educate themselves and work on their emotional intelligence (EI)," says the 26-year-old.
Claims surfacing online also say that the show alleges that 82% of married Indian women face abuse in their relationship. Calling this spread of data false, Prasanna says, "People start putting their perspective out without seeing the actual thing. The show never claimed the percentage that they are talking about."
Ask her if she felt any apprehension performing the scenes of harassment on screen at such an early stage of her career, Prasanna gives a brave reply: "There are so many men who don't see the age of a girl when they harass them. So, why should I see my age when I want to speak against it? It was a responsibility because I had also experienced things in my life very early on."
She also questions the naysayers on why they aren't seeing the good men portrayed in the show. "Why are people not talking about Vinay (Pooja's brother-in-law who supports the fight against marital injustice)? They're only talking about what Arun (Pooja's husband) did and how the show portrays men through him. But we have the entire contrast shown in the show itself," she signs off....
