Bollywood star Konkona Sen Sharma is disappointed with the
decision of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to deny a
certificate to her movie "Lipstick Under My Burkha".
She feels the CBFC should just give a certificate, and not ban movies
at all.
"I am really fed up of the fact that these kinds
of films are banned and so many other kinds of films are not. No films should
be banned at all," Konkona told.
The movie, also starring Ratna Pathak Shah, chronicles the
secret lives of four women of different ages in a small town in India as they
search for different kinds of freedom.
"Lipstick Under My Burkha" has been deemed too
"lady oriented" in content and according to the censor board, it is
laced with sexual scenes and abusive words.
Konkona further added, "I think the CBFC should just
give a certificate. It's important that we watch all kinds of films and it's
important that we watch films where women talk about themselves."
The actress talked about the movie on show "March on
Women", which will air on CNN-News18 on Saturday.
"Lipstick Under My Burkha" won a Gender Equality
Award at the Mumbai Film Festival last year and recently won the Audience Award
at the Glasgow Film Festival.
