Abu Azmi made a disgraceful comment about the women who were molested in Bengaluru and many lashed out at the Samajwadi Party leader for his sexist remarks.
Bollywood actress, Esha Gupta also took to Twitter to speak up on the subject.
Farhan Azmi, son of Abu Azmi had a response for her. And no, he did not condemn his father’s comment, “You have to keep petrol away from fire. And if there is sugar, the ants will come.” Instead, here’s what he said.
We shame women who sell their bodies for basic necessities, and on the other hand, celebrate the one’s who exhibit themselves to earn millions. @eshagupta2811, why?Farhan Azmi, Son of Abu Azmi
“Tan bechakar do rotee jo kamae use ham veshaya naam dekar zaleel karate hain, dusri or tan ki numaish kar karodon kamaane vaalon ko sammaanit @eshagupta2811 kyun?”
While many on social media responded to his jibe, Esha chose to take the high ground and said, “It's ok... small-minded people don't deserve attention.”
Farhan is married to Bollywood actress, Ayesha Takia.
Esha then went on to add how religion has nothing to do with one’s clothing.
