  • In the interview, given to The Filmy Charcha, Khanna said, "People talk about women's liberation, but let me tell you that where the problem begins."

    "It all began when women started saying that they want to do what men do. No, a man is a man and a woman is a woman," he opined.

    He added that due to this, children have to suffer.
