"I was anxiously running out of the theater wondering what had I just exposed my child to," Juhi Parmar wrote
Juhi Parmar, best-known for starring in the popular TV show Kumkum, walked out of the theatre after watching 10-15 minutes of Greta Gerwig's Barbie along with her 10-year-old daughter. FYI, the Margot Robbie led film is rated PG-13. In an extensive note, she called the film "inappropriate" and wrote in her caption accompanying the post, "A lot of my own audience is not going to happy with what I share today, some of you may send me a lot of angst but I share this note as a concerned parent to Barbie! And for the other parents out there, don't make the mistake I did and please do check before you take your child for the film."
The actress began the note by accepting her mistake of not checking the ratings before taking her daughter to watch the movie. She later, went on to bash the film for its "inappropriate language, sexual connotations" (her words). She added, "I was anxiously running out of the theater wondering what had I just exposed my child to. She had been waiting to watch your film and here I was just shocked, disappointed and heartbroken with what I had just exposed her to. I was the first one to walk out of the movie within 10/15 minutes and by the time I reached out, I saw other parents following with their little ones crying, while some parents chose to stay back to watch the entire movie. I'm glad though that I chose to walk out within 10-15 minutes as I didn't even want to think about how much worse it would have got-ten.... In fact I would say leave PG-13, the language and content in your film Barbie is inappropriate even for children 13 and above," read an excerpt from her post.
