What Exactly Sunitha Upadrastha Said

During her recent interview, which was uploaded approximately 23 hours ago, playback singer Sunitha Upadrastha delved into her perspective on modern feminism. The core of her controversial statement revolved around the phrase, "My body my right, his eyes his right," suggesting a nuanced, and to many, problematic interpretation of individual freedom and societal perception.

During an interview with Gulte, the actress said, "He likes your eyes, he likes your body. I think it's not about freedom, wear whatever clothes you like, but don't say this is right. The conflict comes from my point of view, my way of thinking, you can wear anything, no one will object, as long as you're safe, right... Stay happy."

I wish one fine day, every woman lives this kind of a privileged life, without consequences. Without 12, 13 year old girls being stared and swooned at and even if they do, idk what else to say honestly.

oh my god. What an misgoynistic naraccistic woman she is. The audacity to talk about this as a woman herself. No wonder india is a grapist capital. No matter the woman wears whatever she wears the men need not stare at her and mind their own business.

prevention is better than cure i agree but... in this case cure can't be defined and cure is not a solution by generalizing it or covering up with problem..

and the stupid logic here is my body my right is fine👍 his eyes his right applies only to his body itself not others
