Whenever a heroine is part of continuous flops, she will be branded as an iron leg by audience and media. Surprisingly, the will not apply for a hero. Speaking about this in the recently concluded India Today Conclave, heroine Taapsee commented that "I realised long back that a hero is not replaceable like a heroine. When I was part of flop films, I was tagged as an 'iron leg' but not the hero. So, I changed my path from then onwards."
It is not new for Taapsee to make such comments and her comments targeted at Tollywood. The netizens started trolling her for targeting Telugu films again. But Taapsee also got support from a few feminist netizens. A Facebook post is questioning the gender inequality, says that several new upcoming heroines worked with hero Sai Dharam Tej till now. But they career has seen a downfall after acting with him.
They are showing the examples.. Sayami Kher, Shraddha Das, Regina Cassandra, Larissa Bonesi and recently Mehreen Kaur acted with Sai Dharam Tej and they are struggling to get a big ticket film till now. So, should we call him an iron leg now? If heroines are iron legs why not he be called an iron leg?
It seems they have logic. There are several top stars in the industry who delivered continuous disasters but the audience never call them as iron legs. In fact, it is the heroines who take the beating all the time.
