Transcript
00:00lying like this with a mango ice cream all over me my unbuttoned shirt and I'm holding a glass
00:07like this and looking at the camera making love to it I'm like and it's weird yeah how do people
00:12click those pictures why would you put chocolate on yourself sit like this and I was doing all
00:18those poses and I was not comfortable
00:48yeah you see women you know being pictured with chocolate on their bodies and you know
00:59really objectifying them and not questioning them at all so we thought what can we do and
01:04then suddenly Teji said that let's do a photo shoot and I said how and he said we'll objectify you
01:11so when we were shooting there was this uh they get styled one shot with a pink shirt and socks
01:26so I'm a thin chap I've got like matchstick legs and I was so conscious and I was like
01:35she was like shut up Abhilash that's
01:42how will people start talking about it
01:56see when you talk about a girl I've basically seen you are very beautiful
02:02this is the first for a guy you would say he is handsome he is funny
02:07he is a confident guy but in general when you talk about women
02:13we never go beyond that
02:19I'm questioned why am I so thin I need to bulk up this is also a stereotype you need to look a
02:25certain way why you fat why you skinny why you so tall why you so short these are all stereotypes
02:32obviously it has it's it's it's there with guys as well I mean there's a friend of mine
02:37who used to tell me I need to drink a chai with ghee in it chai with ghee just imagine
02:45and I drank it for 45 days and I got an upset stomach like on the 15th day but it continued
02:54because I thought it might help it's not that guys are not you know they are not objectified
03:00of course they are but if you compare it with the intensity you see female bodies
03:07and women in general being objectified I think you know the answer
03:30yeah I've started wearing shorts now I'm comfortable with my body so yeah it has changed
03:39me yeah I wouldn't otherwise you know otherwise I would never stand up I'll sit I would have
03:44sat like this and talk to you like this but now yeah it has changed me
