The web series Chiraiya has sparked controversy for its portrayal of consent and marital rape. Actor Prasanna Bisht, who plays a victim of marital rape in the show, reacts to critics saying it's an 'anti-men propaganda.'
Prasanna Bisht emphasizes the need for people to change their thinking and accept the change. She says, 'With time, Nature changes, weather changes, so we need to change too.' The show aims to explain that a woman's body belongs to her and the meaning of consent.
Prasanna Bisht also addresses claims that the show states 82% of married Indian women face abuse in their relationship, calling it a false spread of data. She urges people to watch the show before making statements.
The actor shares her personal experience of harassment and says she took pride in speaking against it. She asserts that the show's story might be fictional, but it's a reality for many women out there.
Prasanna Bisht questions the naysayers on why they're not seeing the good men portrayed in the show and asks them to 'open their eyes, open their minds, open their hearts' to understand basic human things.
