Actresses Taapsee Pannu and Swara Bhaskar are known to star in films that are women-centric, as well as be outspoken when it comes to gender-related issues. In their latest video titled 'How much cleavage is good cleavage', which was released on 6 March, 2017, they talk about slut-shaming, body positivity, workplace harassment and eve-teasing.
They do not raise their voices or get melodramatic even once in this black and white video. Pannu and Bhaskar ask the viewer if they have ever wondered about how much cleavage is good, considering how much we discuss plunging necklines. They say that their guide will help bust all myths regarding cleavage, and they do this with dark humor and satire.
When it comes to the gym, Pannu highlights that as if the
pressure to lose weight and sweat it out was not enough, there is also the
added stress of making sure that one is dressed appropriately. Bhaskar talks
about the pun-ny "six inch deep" rule, which reminds you to
"watch your assets" because there are men who will stare. She talks
about the irony of this situation; women come to the gym to work on their
bodies but have to inevitably cover them up.
The third situation they talk about is a crowded place in the evening, which they call doubly tricky. They suggest wearing a polo neck for "your own safety" irrespective of which season it is; a jibe at the sexist advice that women constantly receive.
