Veteran Bollywood actor Annu Kapoor recently found himself at the center of a social media controversy following remarks he made about actress Tamannaah Bhatia during a public interview. The comments, which focused on Tamannaah's physical appearance, were widely circulated and condemned by many as inappropriate and disrespectful.
The Controversial "Dudhiya Badan" Statement
The controversy stemmed from an interview Kapoor gave on a popular YouTube channel. At one point in the discussion, a clip from Tamannaah Bhatia's hit dance number, 'Aaj Ki Raat', was shown. When asked about the actress, Kapoor made a comment in Hindi, saying, "Mashallah kya dudhiya badan hai."
The phrase translates roughly to, "Oh my God, what a milky body she has." This specific description, focusing on the actress's fairness and physique, immediately triggered a reaction online. Many social media users felt the statement was objectifying, lewd, and vulgar, especially coming from an actor of Kapoor's seniority and reputation. Critics argued that such commentary reduces a professional female artist to a mere object of physical description.
The discussion continued when the interviewer brought up a past statement by Tamannaah, where she had mentioned that mothers told her their young children would often fall asleep while listening to or watching her song.
In response, Annu Kapoor delivered a further series of comments that, for many, only amplified the problem. He spoke in a roundabout manner about the age of "children" who might be watching, suggesting a 70-year-old could also be considered a child.
He said, in part, that their "sister" (referring to Tamannaah) was helping children sleep with her song, and with her "milky face and body" (or "milky face and appearance"). He concluded that this was a good thing and a "great blessing for this country" if children were getting a healthy night's sleep because of her. While his final words were framed as a blessing for her to fulfil her wishes, the repeated, unsolicited focus on her physical attributes overshadowed any positive intent.
The video clip featuring the controversial remarks quickly went viral, leading to an extensive wave of online backlash.
The predominant criticism was that Kapoor had used inappropriate and disrespectful language toward a fellow artist. Users called him out for crossing a line and not maintaining a basic standard of professional decency in his remarks.
Many individuals, including other content creators and viewers, used the incident to highlight the broader need for greater sensitivity and restraint in public comments about women in the film industry. The criticism was directed not just at Kapoor, but also at the host and the culture that sometimes tolerates such objectification.
Social media commentary urged the veteran actor to show more respect in his public discussions, suggesting that age and experience should lead to more thoughtful and dignified commentary, not less.
The entire episode underscores the increasingly watchful eye of the public and the rapid spread of information on social media, where comments previously considered minor slip-ups are now met with swift and widespread accountability.
