Gems of Bollywood has already shown beyond doubt how Bollywood celebrates rape culture, and Shah Rukh Khan’s filmography is built on creepy-stalker roles. Even when copying a Hollywood movie, the Bollywood brigade can’t seem to let go of scenes that promote offensive sexual behaviour.
Check out this scene here from Baadshah (1999) that was ripped off from a Jackie Chan film.

Why does a fight sequence require this kind of inappropriate clip? It is shameful that both Jackie Chan and Shah Rukh Khan have standardized groping in their so-called comic scenes.
