Instead of Deepika-Alia papa-ki-pari–badboli jibes, I think we should be able to retrospect how women are slùtshamed for saying that they had options at the very beginning of meeting someone they later developed a long-standing relationship.
The number of times Ranveer used to talk of his relationships pre-DP, or how Arjun said he'd choose sex over food because he was overweight for a large part of his life, or how Ranbir has had very many public relationships, or how Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt talked of Madhuri on that very show.
Or, how Dharamendra has been venerated as a man of the soil while humiliating two women and their children for a lifetime so much so that he is an effing MP.
Instead of policing what a woman said (and Deepika would have been jumped on regardless of what she said), people could stand up for with someone when they get slùtshamed.
