When the promos of the film Players hit the TV screens of the nation, it caused a lot of ripples thanks to Sonam Kapoor’s middle-finger act, clearly visible in the promos of the film.
Sonam, who plays an ultra-modern computer nerd in the flick, is upset with the censor board’s objection over this miss-able gesture. She feels the censors need to broaden their minds, considering the exposure that the youth has these days.
“Yes, we showed the middle finger but the censors are not okay with it. They don’t care what is happening on the internet. My teenage cousins are seeing things, worse things than what is happening in the cinema. Just one finger is not going to change anything,” the 26-year-old fashionista said while promoting the film at a radio station.
Sonam defended her act, terming it a part-and-parcel of the lives of today’s youth. “It’s the normal language that we use in our day-to-day life, especially us young people. I am not saying that it is a good thing to do, but it’s very today. If I am playing a girl of today, and I speak this way and I am not going to say the ‘F’ word, it will look very unreal,” she said.
Whether censor will grow up to accept the thought process and lifestyle of today’s youth, and further on permit Bollywood to imbibe it in their creative output, only time will tell.
