Overview
- In a Friday interview on Siddharth Kannan's channel, Annu Kapoor said his 'dudhiya badan' line came while he reviewed the song Aaj Ki Raat for US stage shows and that he meant to praise Tamannaah Bhatia's dancing.
- He argued the outrage grew because he used Hindi, claiming the same description in English as 'milky body' would have drawn less anger.
- Kapoor stressed that he admired her physique without desire and used a Rolls-Royce comparison to explain the difference between appreciation and lust.
- He said he would apologize if Bhatia told him she felt hurt, even offering to touch her feet, though he maintained he had no bad intent.
- The clip from Shubhankar Mishra's podcast resurfaced and went viral last year, and Bhatia has not responded as debate over objectification and language continues.
