Sexist dialogues axed from 'Kambakkht Ishq'

Powered by: Chakpak.com Kambakht Ishq 

Some of the smutty and sexist dialogues calling women as ‘sex objects’ have been axed from Kambakkht Ishq .

The movie, starring Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor , is a love-hate tale between a supermodel (Kareena) who hates men and a stuntman (Akshay) who thinks women are only good for having fun but not marrying. There are some sexist dialogues in which Akshay mocks the fair sex.

When the film came up for review at Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), objections were raised to these dialogues and the film’s producer Sajid Nadiadwala was told to accept an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate if he wanted to retain those dialogues. But since the producer wanted a ‘UA’ certificate for universal viewing, he agreed to re-dub some dialogues while completely delete the others from the film’s final print. Among the sexist dialogues that have been changed, there’s one in which Akshay said: “Women are good for only two things - making love and making love.’ Now the dialogue ends at ‘Women are good for only two things’. Another dialogue that’s been deleted is when Akshay jokes: “Marriage se pehle ladkiyan sex object hoti hain aur marriage ke baad they object to sex.”The film, also starring Amrita Arora , will now release with a UA certificate on July 3.
