Abstract
Indian filmmaker and producer Imtiaz Ali has found himself in the midst of controversy over his remarks in a recent interview. The filmmaker exclaimed, “I don’t like when someone says I am comfortable in my Burqa. I am comfortable in my purdah. It’s a degenerated society; if you feel like this, it’s not okay. It means that you have become so victimised in your mind, I don’t know how.”
