Actress Ratna Pathak Shah said she finds it "offensive" how women in filmmakers Guru Dutt and Bimal Roy's films constantly dived for the men's feet. "'Aapki nazron ne samjha pyaar ke kaabil mujhe (You considered me worth loving)', that was the mood...never understood it," she added. While talking about women's sexualisation, Ratna said, "It went straight from 'devi' to tart."
