Malavika Mohanan slams male co-stars who pretend to be feminists: ‘They know how to put on a mask’

She doubled down on her statements and pointed out that many actors are two-faced. “They know exactly what lines to say that make them come across like a feminist, as a very forward-thinking person, someone who treats women as equals. And I have seen them go back from the public eye and become the most misogynistic person ever. It’s hypocrisy.”

In the same interview, Malavika Mohanan also talked about the South film industry’s obsession with the ‘navel’ and how she has received comments about her weight and looks whenever she would lose or gain weight. “I used to be very perplexed earlier, too, because I’ve grown up in Mumbai. It was a completely new phenomenon that navels are obsessed over so much. And then you’d see pictures of actresses on social media, where they zoom into their bodies. Navel obsession is a very real thing,” she said.

On the work front, Malavika has The Raja Saab with Prabhas and Karthi-starrer Sardar 2 in the pipeline.
