Malaal actor Sharmin Segal has criticised the recent Shahid Kapoor-starrer Kabir Singh, saying that the film didn’t sit well with her. Kabir Singh has been severely criticised for its treatment of toxic masculinity and female characters. She said, according to News18, “I really liked Shahid in the movie but the story did not sit with me. Sharmin, the niece of filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, compared Kiara’s character to her own character in Malaal, and said, “There is strength in Aastha’s silence in Malaal on some level, which I did not see in Kabir Singh.” Malaal also stars Javed Jaffrey’s son, Meezaan, and is slated to release on Friday. Previously, several Bollywood personalities such as Sona Mohapatra and Shobhaa De had criticised the film.
