00:00 TV Jagat star actor Nakul Mehta has blamed the films of Salim Javed and Amitabh Bachchan
00:06 for presenting masculinity in a wrong way.
00:10 Nakul has said that films like Amitabh Bachchan's Diwaar have left a bad impression on men.
00:17 Nakul was recently seen in a show where he has given his views on masculinity.
00:23 Nakul gave an example of Amitabh Bachchan's Diwaar and said that the idea of angry young
00:30 men which was introduced by Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar in Hindi films, was actually
00:36 taught wrongly to people.
00:39 Amitabh Bachchan was great in the film Diwaar, but I will always be more interested in the
00:44 character of Shashi Kapoor, without whose support, the hero is not as strong as he was.
00:51 Nakul further said that pop culture and films have to some extent ruined the definition of
00:56 masculinity.
00:57 And while Salim Javed was a great writer, but in the 70s, the way he showed masculinity,
01:03 we should not have at all.
01:05 Men do not have pain, boys do not cry, Bachchan's roles were very important and their roles
01:11 made a different definition of men.
01:13 Nakul praised Shashi Kapoor's character in this film and said that I have always been
01:20 a fan of Shashi Kapoor.
01:22 You can't take your eyes off Amitabh Bachchan in Diwaar.
01:26 But Bachchan's character is good because of the dignity of Shashi Kapoor's character.
01:32 Truth, dignity, insecurity and strength, which he brings, unfortunately, women in real life
01:38 have to behave the same way with us.
01:43 I have seen this quality in my mother, my sister, my wife and mother-in-law.
01:48 Because women allow themselves to be more delicate than men.
