Anushka Sharma said, “There should be a little sense of fear. Your work place has to be the second sacred place for you. After your home your work place is the place where you should feel the safest and if you’re not feeling that way then that’s the worst world to be living in.”

Giving her opposing point, Rani said, “I think as a woman you have to be that powerful within yourself, you have to believe that you’re so powerful that if you ever come into a situation like that you have the courage to say ‘back off.’ I think you have to have the courage to be able to protect yourself.”

Further, she stated that self-defence is necessary and therefore, learning martial arts was important and that it should become a part of the school curriculum, adding that it was important for girls to learn how to protect themselves.

To this, Deepika opposed saying, “But why to even bring it to the point where girls should learn self-defence,” inviting positive nods from Anushka and Alia.

After all this, Rani’s opinion has once again been ripped apart and the audience is trolling her for the statements she made.

Have a look at some of the reactions.
