To begin with he said, ¡°I am not against Women Working. As I said let me show you my full interview taken by someone from which this ¡®Vivadit Bayan¡¯ has been taken to malign me that I mean This which I don¡¯t mean. I was just commenting on how Me too can happen. You can see yourself in this interview how I respect women."
Claiming his statement is blown out of proportion, he even shared the footage of the interview saying, ¡°I am really surprised that one of my statements is being taken very wrongly. I am being told I am against women. Hardly anyone would have the respect I have for women. That is why I opposed the name LAXMI BOMB. I am concerned about the safety of women. I have spoken against every rape case. Some people have made a noise about the clipping of one of my interviews.¡±
Talking about the controversy that created around his statement he said, ¡°I never said that women should not work. I was just going to tell how Me Too starts. In our country, women have made their way into every field. Then whether she is a defense minister, finance minister, foreign minister or in space, everywhere women have waved their glory. So how can I be against working for a woman."

¡°I did not say that MeToo happens when women go out. A year ago, I made a video on this topic, which I want to show you that even then I had said that how the women should guard themselves at their place of work. I still did not say that women should not go to work. So how can I say that today?¡±.

He even added, " I am not worried that the female community will turn against me. They don¡¯t even have to be. My life is an open book. Everyone knows how I have lived and how I am living. I want to show you the entire interview from which this clipping is taken. You will know what I think about women".
Hope this clarification by Mukesh Khanna will leave the trolls convinced.
