A few hours ago, the much-anticipated trailer for ‘Gangubai Kathiawadiwas released. The trailer has received a lot of attention, and Alia Bhatt’s performance in it is undoubtedly one of the film’s highlights. While the trailer is receiving positive feedback, one line is causing controversy. In one scene, Gangubai visits a dentist, who is from the North-East of India.

 

 “Pura ka pura China mou mein ghusayega kya?” Gangu (Alia) responds as the doctor urges her to open her mouth wide. This dialogue has not gone over well with netizens, who are accusing it of being racist.

 

 

A Twitter user wrote, “Really liked the trailer of #GangubaiKathiawadi until the racist dialogue 🙂 Bollywood will never change.” Another netizen tweeted, “’poora China muh mein daalega kya ?’ Of course, because the dentist is North Eastern so he is Chinese right? Racism and Xenophobia at its worst! #GangubaiKathiawadi.”
