Men think it's normal to look and talk women in a certain way, that's what scares me, reveals Tamannaah Bhatia!

It all started when Southern megastar Tamannaah Bhatia didn't mince her words and spoke out against South director Suraaj, who passed derogatory comments about female actors in cinema. 

In a straight interview with a famous tabloid, Tamannaah Bhatia shared her views on sexism in the film industry and the criticism which comes her way. 

On her movie, Katthi Sanddai's director Suraaj's derogatory remarks about actresses, Tamannaah revealed, "I called out on a director who I was working with and whose film was about to release. It wasn't a happy moment for me, especially when it was somebody I had worked with twice. However, I just hand to stand up not just for myself but everybody who looks up to actresses and women. I felt that I had to stand up and say that women are not going to sit quietly and take shit."

She further told, "The problem is that some men are sexist, but they are not even aware of it. They are ignorant, they think that it's normal to look at women in a certain way and talk about them in a certain way. And, that's what scares me."

Oddly, Tamannaah was criticized for her role as Avanthika in Baahubali: The Beginning, calling the portrayal sexist. On this, she told, "It's natural for different people to perceive the film differently. Everybody had an opinion and I respect everybody's opinion. If I constantly worry about landing myself in a controversy, how will I concentrate on my work? You can't obsess over what people are going to think as the biggest impediment in fulfilling one's dream is the `log kya kahenge' syndrome. I have stopped thinking about log kya kahenge."
