Renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has defended his previous comments about the late actress Sridevi's 'thunder thighs', claiming they played a significant role in her massive stardom. Despite facing backlash, Varma maintains that Sridevi's unique physical attribute, combined with her talent, helped her achieve unparalleled success. In a recent podcast, Varma recalled the controversy surrounding his 2015 book 'Guns and Thighs', where he dedicated a chapter to Sridevi, praising her legs as an 'asset'. He also pointed out that if Sridevi had thin legs, she may not have become a star. To drive his point home, Varma used examples of other Bollywood icons, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, suggesting that their physical characteristics may have influenced their success. Varma's comments have sparked debate, with some questioning whether objectifying a person's physical attributes is fair. However, the filmmaker insists that his remarks were meant to acknowledge Sridevi's unique qualities, rather than diminish her talent as an actress. Sridevi's legacy continues to be celebrated, and her impact on the Indian film industry remains unmatched. As the debate surrounding Varma's comments rages on, one thing is clear: Sridevi's 'thunder thighs' remain an integral part of her enduring legacy.
