Rasika Dugal, outspoken as ever, says she would have said no to a movie like Animal because her biggest fear is that one day she will accept a project that will inadvertently promote misogyny. With Mirzapur and Delhi Crime, this has been Rasika’s moment in many ways. It was wonderful to have Rasika with us. She shared that the politics of every project she chooses is of utmost importance to her, not just as an afterthought, but as the very foundation of her decisions. Here's an actor who is deeply mindful of the ideas, values, and narratives she puts into her work, in an industry where choices are often driven by commercial viability, convenience, glamour, or pressure. More power to you and your tribe, Rasika Dugal . Cheering for you all always. WeTheWomen

Incontrovertible evidence of how Twisha Sharma was abused and maligned by her husband and his mother emerges on tape. Imagine a mother in law who asks her daughter in law about her sexual history, former partners, accusing her of promiscuity- and comparing her to a prostitute, while, her son, calls his wife a R##ndi . Who made this lady a judge ? I was truly chilled to the bone when I heard this audiotape - where Twisha Sharma’s brother, a serving major in the army confronts his sister's mother in law and takes her on for the constant harassment of Twisha. On April 22nd days before she was tragically found dead in the judge’s home, the family secretly recorded what may now stand as one of the most chilling windows into the cruelty Twisha endured inside her marital home. In the audio, accessed exclusively by Mojo Story, Former Judge, Giribala Singh can be heard brazenly defending her son against the complaint that he called cTwisha a “r*ndi” . She can be heard aggressively saying that it’s her right to know whether her daughter in law has had multiple partners in the past. And then- that oldest trope in the world- she questions her morality, accuses her of promiscuity and invokes parallels with prostitutes ( used in this context as an abuse by her) , language so vile, so dehumanising, it is hard to listen to without outrage.

I was so horrified by the 'press confereence' of Giribala Singh, former Judge & mother in law of Twisha Shama- now an accused in a dowry death case, that i had to interview her and confront her with some direct questions 1. Where is her son? as an officer of the law- and her son is a lawyer - why is he absconding and will she urge him to surrender or is she hiding him? 2. Did she and her son taunt Twisha about carrying another man's baby? 3. How can she place in public domain the alleged assessment by Twisha's doctors of her mental health when that is strictly confidential between a doctor and patient? 4. Who is she to call Twisha's decision on abortion an act of cruelty - abortion is legal in India and its ultimately a woman's body and her choice within the framework of law 5. How can she conflate prescription medicines with drugs ? Where is her evidence on drug usage ? and how does she respond to the charge by Twisha's family that her husband was the drug addict 6. How can she as a woman and a judge indulge in the worst sort of character assassination of a young woman who is not even alive to defend herself against the smear 7. . Finally, detailed Whatsapp conversations show the living hell that Was Twisha's life. How does she respond to the allegations of dowry and harassment? This was an often unpleasant, but necessary exchange. Do share your feedback. thank you
