Pati Patni Aur Woh trailer slammed for rape joke

Another Kartik Aaryan film finds itself in the middle of a sexism controversy. After the Pyaar Ka Punchnama films and Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety. The actor has a long or brief sexist monologue in these films which is a onesided explanation about the atrocities of women towards men includes PPAW in it. the recently released trailer for Kartik’s Pati Patni Aur Woh remake also features the actor.

Several Twitter users have expressed disappointment in the trailer, and especially the actor for associating himself with such material. Previously, Kartik’s monologues from the Pyaar Ka Punchnama films were criticized for their sexism. In the Pati Patni Aur Woh trailer, Kartik’s character Chintu Tyagi apparently makes a rape joke. The line of dialogue most people seem to have taken an offense over is, “Biwi se sex maang lein toh hum bikhaari. Biwi ko sex na de toh hum atyachaari. Aur kisi tarah jugaad laga ke usse sex haasil kar lena toh batakari bhi hum hai. (If we ask our wives for sex then we’re called beggars, if we deny them sex then we’re called torturers, and if we coerce them into having sex with us, we’re called rapists).”

“I don’t expect anything from a Kartik Aaryan movie but this is dismal,” one person wrote on Twitter, sharing the clip alongside her tweet. “Not to sound like token Twitter ranter but like...How is this a thing in 2019?? #PatiPatniAurWoh trailer is embarrassing. Bhumi is so much better than this,” wrote another person.

At 1.17, @TheAaryanKartik's character laments how "kisi tarah jugad laga sex hasil karne se" 'poor' men are labelled as rapists.

Reducing consent & #MeToo to a joke, this is film making?

Shame on you, @TheAaryanKartik & makers of #PatiPatniAurWoh !https://t.co/TbzcX13SGH
