 "MX Player original web series Pati Patni Aur Panga faces backlash, dubbed as 'transphobic' and 'tone-deaf'")
An upcoming MX Original Series, Pati Patni Aur Panga, starring Naveen Kasturia and Adah Sharma in the lead, is facing flak on social media with many users dubbing the show as ’transphobic’ and ’tone-deaf’. Written and directed by Abir Sengupta, the 6-episode series revolves around Romanchak (Kasturia) whose world comes crashing down when he discovers a secret about his wife, Shivani (Sharma). The trailer reveals Shivani as a transwoman whose past clouds Romanchak’s judgement and eventually begins initiating divorce proceedings against her. Pati Patni Aur Panga trailer is being criticised for its ‘problematic perspective’ on trans experiences and presenting them for ‘comic relief’. Check out some of the reactions here

MX Player's Pati, Patni Aur Panga starring Adah Sharma and Naveen Kasturia is a movie that follows the story of Shivani, a trans-woman who marries a man w/o telling him that she is trans. The movie is highly problematic as it uses trans experiences for comic-(1/6)
problematic movie Laxmii. I do not understand this newfound obsession Bollywood has with mocking trans experiences. Cis-people have NO right to play trans characters much less portray them in such negative light. Trans people face various forms of gender violence-(3/6)
