controversies
Open letter written on rape
On 11 December 2014, Shenaz wrote an open letter addressed to various public figures including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Anil Ambani. This letter was in response to the rape case that took place in an Uber cab in Delhi. In the letter, Shenaz asked the public figure to take strict action against sex offenders. Although the letter had good intentions, people equated it to a PR stunt, as his film ‘Main Aur Mr. Right’ was about to release. In the letter he asked men to provide better security to women. This approach has also been criticized because it takes away women’s autonomy and makes them dependent on men.
