Mumbai, Nov 25 (IANS) As protests against "Padmavati" gather steam all across India, former beauty queen and actress Dia Mirza has questioned the safety of women in the country.
"People who make violent threats against one of our women to serve a misplaced idea of honour and pride on national television walk freely. What kind of country have we become? How can we ever hope to make our women feel safe if this the way we continue to treat women?" Dia tweeted on Saturday.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical drama "Padmavati" narrates the story of Rajput queen Padmavati.
A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader had announced a reward of Rs 10 crore for beheading the film's director Bhansali and Deepika Padukone, to protest the movie's release over fears that it distorts Rajput history.
The movie was scheduled to release on December 1 but has been deferred as the filmmakers are yet to secure a censor certificate.
