““Imtiaz Ali slams women:- “I don't like when someone says ‘I am comfortable in my Burqa. I am comfortable in my parda’. It's a degenerated society; if you feel like this, it's not okay.

He will dictate your choices and preferences for you, effectively deciding what you should want, all while claiming to liberate your mind from a victim mentality.””
