Kanika Dhillon, the writer of Taapsee Pannu's upcoming movie Haseen Dillruba, called out writer-filmmaker Navjot Gulati for a distasteful tweet, which reeks of sexism and misogyny. In a recent tweet, Mr Gulati said that Kanika Dhillon's credit as the writer of Haseen Dillruba was included in the film's trailer as her husband Himanshu Sharma is one of the producers of the movie. On Monday, Ms Dhillon slammed Navjot Gulati in a strongly worded tweet and wrote: "I am quite shocked by your extremely sexist - misogynist and bordering on idiotic comment. Neither will I list down my body of work because your pea sized brain will not be able to process a successful woman making it on her own! You may have a brain freeze! Have a good day." Hi @Navjotalive I am quite shocked by ur extremely SEXIST - MYSOGINIST and bordering on IDIOTIC comment Neither will I list down my body of work cos ur pea sized brain will not be able to process a successful woman making it on her own! U may hav a brain freeze! Have a good day https://t.co/hDDhSlBEpS And mr @Navjotalive because of writers like YOU - who display their STUPIDITY on something tht should be Applauded as a welcome step by the writing fraternity- other very deserving writers do not get top Billing as is their right-- shame on u! https://t.co/hDDhSlBEpS A progressive call to credit a writer turned into a sexist rant by the age old misogyny of crediting a woman's success to the house she marries in or the man she married. Your righteous call for equal credit can't be overtaken by the bitterness in u. https://t.co/B7FrdSRakL
