Irrfan Khan, who has worked in international projects as well, said sexual exploitation is not confined just to showbiz. “Whenever the society is sexually suppressed, whichever gender who has an opportunity, if the male has more power, he will exploit the woman, and if the woman has more power, she will exploit man,” Irrfan said at a media interaction for his film ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’.
“In India, we do have sexual suppression. We have put so many conditions and values behind it, anyone can judge a relationship between two people and this is not a healthy sign,” he added.
Irrfan said, “People are exploited, and there is nothing to hide in it and it is prevalent in every field. This issue is not limited to film line. Every line of work, where there is sexual suppression, people would exploit.”
In ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’, Irrfan is paired with Malayalam actor Parvathy, who is debuting in the Hindi film industry with the Tanuja Chandra directorial.
