Kubbra Sait calls out safety rules imposed on women after Delhi park rape case: "How much more careful are we supposed to be?"

Actor Kubbra Sait has spoken about women’s safety in India in a video shared on social media, questioning why conversations about safety often place responsibility on women rather than addressing the behaviour that makes them unsafe. In the video, Kubbra begins by saying, “Safety is a place called Narnia. Yes, it’s fictional,” before referring to incidents involving girls and women in everyday situations. She points out that age, location, time or circumstance does not necessarily guarantee safety. The actor then lists some of the precautions women are routinely advised to take. “Cover up. Don’t go out at night. Don’t hang out with boys. Share your location. Carry pepper spray. Be careful. How much more careful are we supposed to be?” she asks. Kubbra then shifts the focus towards what boys and men are taught about consent and boundaries. “When are these instructions reaching the boys?” she asks, before listing the behaviours that need to be addressed. “Don’t stalk her.

EXCLUSIVE: Why Kanika Dhillon keeps breaking genre rules: “It really excites me to break the mould”

Kanika Dhillon has never appeared particularly interested in telling stories by the rulebook. From genre-bending narratives to morally complicated characters, the writer-producer has consistently gravitated towards stories that refuse to sit comfortably inside familiar boxes. The success of Gandhari, she says, has only strengthened that instinct. “Usually, all my stories never conform to a certain template. Either they are a genre bender, or they are always pushing the boundaries of black and white and grey zones and across the spectrum,” Dhillon tells Bollywood Hungama exclusively. For Dhillon, experimentation is not simply about making a story unusual for the sake of it. It is about finding a fresh grammar within a familiar genre. “So that is why I need to push the genre, twist the genre, bend the genre, merge two genres, unpredictable characters, also watering on experimental, bringing around cliches which are used in a surprising manner,” she explains.

The picture is everywhere.” She also remarked, “Youngsters today want quick fame. For publicity, they are ready to do anything. We never had to do all that.
