'Animal' actress Mansi Taxak breaks silence on marital rape scene in the movie

While Sandeep Reddy Vanga's movie 'Animal' is busy breaking records at box-office, many cinegoers and celebrities have slammed it for showing toxic masculinity, violence and misogyny. Amid all this, actress Mansi Taxak has reacted to the marital rape scene in the movie saying, 'It was to tell the audience that and animal is coming; if you thought Ranbir was this way, you can expect the villain to be worse. It was an apt way to establish Bobby sir’s character and to show the audience what real animal we’re talking about... I would not wish that to happen at my wedding ever!' During an interview with Zoom Entertainment, Mansi, who played the third wife of Bobby Deol's character Abrar Haque, seemingly defended the scene in the movie and said, 'It was not the intent to show that any sort of assault was happening. It was just that Bobby sir did not expect his brother’s death news to come on the wedding, which puts the character into a zone where he couldn’t think straight. And that’s what we’re talking about, right? Animal instincts are unpredictable instincts. So he goes into that zone, and to vent out his emotions, he comes to his wives. I don’t think it was intended to be any sort of assault. I didn’t feel it on the set, or in the script. That was not the case. It was just a relationship between two people that has panned out the way it did.' 'Animal' also stars Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, among others.
