“I have never commented on Mr Sandeep’s films because I have never seen them. I have often spoken on misogyny and the representation of women on screen. I have talked about it on various platforms at various times. But I have never taken the name of any film because it is not about the specific film. Why Mr Vanga has assumed that I was talking about his film you’ll have to ask him. I have never seen his film,” Rao told The Quint.

On Reddy Vanga’s statement that Aamir himself did misogynistic songs like ‘Khambe jaisi khadi hai’ back in the day, Rao said that her ex-husband was one of the few people who had apologised for it. “There are very few people who would look back at their body of work and apologise for doing something problematic in retrospect,” she added.
Responding to alleged criticism from Rao, Reddy Vanga earlier said that she should rather “focus” on Khan’s movies.

Then come back to me,” Reddy Vanga told Dainik Bhaskar.
