London, Apr 12 (PTI) British actress Sophie Turner has rubbished the negative attention "Game of Thrones" receives.
The 20-year-old actress, who stars as Sansa Stark on the HBO fantasy TV series, has defended the show's graphic portrayal of real-life events, insisting it is important to provide an accurate account of things that go on in the real world, reported Female First.
"The thing is, 'Game of Thrones' does not shy away from things that happened in those times. The oppression of women happened, and rape still happens, particularly in wars and arranged marriages," Turner said.
"Why is there so much attention when it happens on television and not when it happens in the real world? It happens every day all over the world and you never hear about it.
