No, boss. Immorality is not ambition. And love doesn't really change a person's inherent nature.
Toxic masculinity can be seen in young boys in the form of bullying, and Noblemen’s gritty portrayal of child bullies is an eye-opener.
Two priceless lessons from Sandeep Reddy Vanga: True love is a slapfest, and don't bother on becoming a better person yourself, just have kids instead.
If subsuming yourself in love means that he can beat you up, just ask the countless women who suffer from domestic abuse. Would that make you feel precious, valued, loved, Mr Vanga?

Shahid Kapoor-starrer 'Kabir Singh' highlights toxic masculinity. It is a big hit. It was liked not just by men, but by women too, many of whom are comfortable with the Kabir Singhs in real life.
Kabir Singh is not just an angry, abusive person. He’s sexist, elitist and an entitled a-word that I’m not using to keep it clean. I’m going with a very generous 1 star out of 5.
Women are human, just like men. Personality traits like kindness are not attached to one's gender. Neither are abusive tendencies such as domestic violence.

Ridiculing and reducing women to weak nonentities is not what India wants out of its politicians in 2019.
Women are the direct victims of violent masculine behaviour. But men are hurt by this too, in ways that even dehumanise them.
