Saumya Tandon Denies Taking A Jibe At YRF Spyverse

Saumya Tandon responded to a comment on X about how male-dominated Dhurandhar was. While agreeing, she denied that the film was misogynistic. In a post on X, Saumya wrote, "The universe in which Dhurandhar is set is a male-dominated world, and the social norms depicted by the director are nonetheless treated with respect. They are not beaten, objectified, or shown as one of many wives, even though that society could have permitted it. It's important to remember that we're dealing with a very different world. Sadly, the plot doesn't allow for glamorous heroines to sing songs on exotic beaches. This might work for other scripts, but not this one. Still, as an actor, I hope I get opportunities to be a part of women-centric stories."
