Director Musassar Aziz has reacted to people criticising a dialogue delivered by Bhumi Pednekar in the upcoming comedy, Pati Patni Aur Woh, where her character is seen saying she loves sex. In the film's trailer released a while back, Bhumi's character meets Kartik Aaryan's protagonist for a prospective arranged marriage. "Ji humein sex bohot pasand hai," she tells him. While many Bollywood buffs have had a hearty laugh, many others have objected it to it, saying this was adult humour, not suitable for family viewing, reports timesnow.com. Pati Patni Aur Woh Actor Kartik Aaryan: ‘Am Proud of My Struggle and Where I Come From’.

"Why do you have a problem when a woman says she loves sex? Why is that adult humour? When a man says he loves sex, you are okay with it, but when a woman says she loves sex, everyone has a problem. Why can't a woman like sex? Does that make her a person of less character? Sex is as pleasurable for a man as it is for a woman," said Aziz, interacting with the media while promoting the film. Did You Know Pati Patni Aur Woh Actress Ananya Panday Was Asked to Refer to Shah Rukh Khan’s Shot from Main Hoon Na?
