Television actor Jay Bhanushali recently expressed regret for taking his daughter to watch ‘Barbie’ on Sunday. Actress Juhi Parmar also shared her experience, revealing that she left the theater with her daughter within 15 minutes due to the film’s explicit content and foul language.
Jay raised his voice against the movie, referring to it as “bawasir” (like piles). In a series of Instagram stories, he warned his followers about the film’s poor quality, claiming it to be the worst he has ever seen. Jay emphasized his concern for their well-being, both financially and mentally.
“Trust me guys, bawasir hai (it’s like piles). Bacha raha hu aapko. Aapke paise bacha raha hu. Aapka mansik santulan bacha raha hu. Kyunki issey buri movie maine aaj tak nahi dekhi hai. It’s a super, super, super bad film. Trust me guys ye jitni havua aap dekh rahe hain, koi bolne ke layak bhi nahi hai. Matlab sachi bata raha it took two days for me to make this video because main aisa tha ki ye kya film bana di hai, aur promote aisa kar rahe hain ki mujhe laga bachcho ke liye hoga. Lekin na bachchon ke liye hai na bado ke liye”.
Sharing his personal struggle, Jay revealed that he tried to endure the movie until the end, but his daughter’s disapproval led him to abandon the film early. He shared a humorous incident where his daughter expressed boredom and a desire to leave. Despite trying to convince her otherwise, he realized her judgment was accurate, and he regrets subjecting her to such content.
“Sabse mazzedar baat thi ki kyunki maine paise de diye the toh main koshish kar raha tha main tolerate karu iss movie ko end tak. I think film shuru hone ke aadhe ghante baad hi meri beti bolti hai, ‘Dad, I’m sleeping. I can’t watch this film. Ya toh mujhe ghar le ke chalo , I’m too bored.’ Maine bola, ‘Nahi nahi beta, it’s a good film.’ And the look on her face, main aapko bata nahi sakta meri beti ne kabhi life mein mujhe aisa look nahi diya hai. She was actually judging me because of the film. She was like, ‘Mere baap ko agar ye film pasand aa sakti hai toh fir… main kya bolu.’ So main sahi bata raha hu, aapke bachche aap pe doubt karenge. Agar aapne zidd bhi ki na ki ye film dekhne chalte hain, wo doubt karenge aapke taste pe, aapke choices par . So please beware,” Jay said in the video.
Juhi, too, took to her Instagram and addressed her audience as a concerned parent. She urged other parents to check the film’s content before taking their children to watch it, highlighting the importance of responsible parenting.
Both Jay and Juhi’s messages have resonated with concerned parents, raising awareness about the need for caution when choosing appropriate films for children.
