R Madhavan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ayesha Raza Mishra, Manish Chaudhary, Namit Sharma, director Vivek Soni and Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh of Netflix attended the trailer of their film Aap Jaisa Koi in Mumbai. R Madhavan made an honest confession when asked about ‘barabari waala pyaar’, the central aspect of the love story.
Aap Jaisa Koi trailer launch: R Madhavan makes a confession: “I addressed a girl as PYT as a compliment; I realized later that I objectified her; people of my age fear that hum kisi ko offend na kar dein”
R Madhavan said, “We have been conditioned in our families to respect women that they thought was the best way to do. We didn’t know any different. We had no idea that zamana itni jaldi badal jaayega. Sometimes, we feel that we are giving respect to someone by doing something. But at times, we don’t realize that it is offensive to them. However, the intention is to never offend them. It is because of our culture and background.”
He continued, “Hamara aisa irada nahin hai ki hum dil dukhaayein ya unki insult karein. It happened once with me when I addressed a girl as PYT, that is, a pretty young thing. I didn’t mean to objectify. When we were in school, PYT was meant as a compliment. I realized later that by using that term, I objectified her. Then how do I say sorry and to whom?”
He further stated, “Hum chahte hai ki barabari waala pyaar hi ho. But what is the limit and meaning of that ‘barabari’ is something many of us, especially of my age, are still trying to understand. We fear that hum aisa kuch na kar dein ki koi offend ho jaaye. Even my character is on the same lines in this film.”
As for his clean-shaven look, R Madhavan credited Vivek Soni. He revealed, “I told Vivek, ‘Let me keep some amount of beard’. I fought with him a lot. I told him, ‘Bahut ganda dikhunga main’. But he was adamant. He said, ‘Nothing doing. You’ll be clean-shaven’. Yesterday, I sent him a message that ‘After going through the comments (about my look in the film), thank you for keeping me clean-shaven’!”
Aap Jaisa Koi releases on Netflix on July 11.
