Kapur Defends Kabir Singh, Vanga: ‘Toxic Masculinity Is Reality’

Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur spoke out recently to support his son Shahid Kapoor’s controversial, yet very popular, 2019 movie, Kabir Singh.

Why He Defends Kabir Singh

Pankaj Kapur defended the film against people who criticized it for showing toxic masculinity (bad, aggressive male behavior).

• He said, “Films show the world as it is, not how we want it to be.”
• He described the main character as a “flawed man,” which is what makes the story interesting and leads to important discussions about people’s complexities.
