Bollywood celebrities reacted to ripped jeans remark, here's what they have to say.
Uttrakhand's CM Tirath Singh Rawat's senseless comment about women wearing ripped jeans is not well-received by India's people, especially women.
The CM said that women who wear ripped jeans are going against the 'sanskar' and following western culture.
Bollywood celebrities strongly reacted against the CM's statement.
Actor-politician Jaya Bachchan responded sharply to this and said, "Such a statement doesn't befit a Cheif Minister. Those in the higher post must think before making public statements. You say such things in today's time; you will decide who cultured and who's not based on clothes is? It's a bad mindset and encourages crimes against women."
Earlier this week; speaking at an anti-abuse workshop organised by the Uttrakhand State Commission for Protection of Child Rights In Dehradun; he said that ripped jeans are 'bad examples set by parents.
Here's what Bollywood celebrities commented:
Koena Mitra tweeted: "May Bjp rule for another 50 years but.... ripped jeans and boots will rock forever! Men don't tell us what to wear! I wear shorts and snickers, I dance like a hip hopper, I chant Hanuman chalisa, I vote, I travel like a Gypsy and I cancel Men like him. Stop."

Men don’t tell us what to wear!

We are the land of the glorious Konark, Khajurao, Modhera, Thirumayam, Virupaksha!"
That is just disgusting. Of course there is also another lot bringing the Burqa into this conversation. Like my misogyny is better than yours game. A one-upmanship effort to find a new low. https://t.co/tqqhNa3ySn
