Malavika Mohanan calls out male actors for pretending to be woke, feminist allies

Actor Malavika Mohanan took a strong stand against male actors who maintain a facade of being woke and feminist. In a recent interview, the 'The Raja Saab' actor - who will soon be seen alongside Prabhas - called out the hypocrisy, saying that many men have become savvy in recent years and have learned how to project a fake feminist image. She expressed her shock and disbelief at their behaviour, calling it nothing short of hypocrisy.
During an interview with Hauterrfly, Malavika Mohanan said, "I don’t think this disparity has ever ended in the film industry. I also think that men have really gotten smart, and I have seen this in a lot of male actors, suddenly, in the last 5–6 years, they know how to put on the mask of being woke."
She continued to explain, "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."
During the same interview, Mohanan also talked about South film industry's 'navel obsession'. She said, "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."Malavika Mohanan was last seen in the Tamil film 'Thangalaan', which co-starred Chiyaan Vikram and Parvathy Thiruvothu and released last year.
