| Gangubai Kathiawadi trailer: Alia Bhatt starrer being called out for a racist 'China' dialogue – Read Tweets Feb 4th 2022, 09:38, by support@india.com (BollywoodLife) The much-awaited trailer of Gangubai Kathiawadi was released a few hours ago. The trailer is being praised a lot, and Alia Bhatt's performance in it is surely one of the highlights of the film. While everything about the trailer is being liked by the netizens, there's one dialogue that is getting backlash. In a scene, Gangubai has gone to a dentist and the doctor is from North-East of India. So, when the doctor tells her to open her mouth wide, Gangu (Alia) replies, "Pura ka pura China mou mein ghusayega kya?" Well, this dialogue has not gone down well with netizens and they are calling it out for 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." One more Twitter user posted, "#GangubaiKathiawadiTrailer is both racist and transophobic. It's going to be one of the worst creations of Slb."
