Featuring comedians Abish Mathew and Daniel Fernandes, producer Sumedh Natu, advertising executive Vanshdeep Madan, and video host Clince Varghese, the video talks about the stereotypes that Indian society is plagued with and how Bollywood has a large role to play in perpetuating this ‘misogynistic regressive patriarchal mindset’.
