Actor Taapsee Pannu is gearing up for her upcoming release Thappad, and she asserts that the act of slapping amounts to violence, disrespect and, to an extent, a controlling nature, whether it involves a parent and a child, or husband and wife. She adds that a slap can never be an expression of love, ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think no one takes a stand against the disrespect of women, including women themselves. Standing up against it is the need of the hour. Women who are living in poor economic condition cannot stand up because of their conditioning and financial dependency on their spouses. They have no place to go and they do not earn money, so they deal with disrespect and torture every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thappad revolves around a couple whose marriage unravels after the husband slaps his wife in public. The film also features Paveil Gulati, Ratna Pathak Shah, Tanvi Azmi, Dia Mirza, Ram Kapoor and Kumud Mishra among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A kid is slapped by an elder because of the elder wants to create fear in the child’s mind, because the child is comparatively weak. It is the wrong style of parenting. Since childhood, the human mind learns to normalise a few acts of physical violence like slapping or raising a hand. In adulthood, men especially use the same habits to control people. It is a cycle and we need to question it,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
