Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling's 'Barbie' opened to rave reviews and has been performing exceptionally well at the box office.
Recently, popular TV actor Juhi Parmar took her 10-year-old daughter for the film, but they walked out of the theatre within 10 minutes.
Taking to Instagram, Juhi explained why she chose to walk out of the movie. She started her note by saying that she didn't research the fact that it was PG-13 movie.
Juhi said 10 minutes into the movie there was inappropriate language, sexual connotations and she anxiously ran out of the theatre wondering what she had exposed her child to.
Juhi was shocked, disappointed and heartbroken. She shared that she was the first one to walk out and a few other parents followed.
Juhi added that 'Barbie' is inappropriate even for children above 13.
‘Dear Barbie,I start with owning up to my mistake, I took my 10 year old daughter Samairra to watch your film without researching the fact that it was a "PG-13" movie. 10 minutes into the movie, inappropriate language, sexual connotations and I was anxiously running out of the theater wondering what had I just exposed my child to. She had been waiting to watch your film and here I was just shocked, disappointed and heartbroken with what I had just exposed her to. I was the first one to walk out of the movie within 10/15 minutes and by the time I reached out, I saw other parents following with their little ones crying, while some parents chose to stay back to watch the entire movie. I'm glad though that I chose to walk out within 10-15 minutes as I didn't even want to think about how much worse it would have got-ten...In fact I would say leave Pg-13, the language and content in your film Barbie is inappropriate even for children 13 and above,’ Juhi wrote.
She questioned the makers about why they broke the perfect illusion of barbie, which has been an essential part of a child's life.
‘I had barbie dolls as a child and so have most women when they were growing up and so do most girls as they grow up today. Its a part of our childhood and today with your film, its gotten a new life as everyone is talking about Barbie, wearing pinks, there are barbie parties and barbie manicures happening with the "I Am A Barbie Girl" song playing in the background. What Fabulous Marketing! And so I want to ask, why make a movie that is such an essential part of a child's life and then have content in it which is so inappropriate for them,’ she added.
On the work front, Juhi Parmar was a contestant on ‘Bigg Boss 5’, hosted by Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt. She emerged as the winner of the season.
Juhi Parmar was last seen in the show ‘Hamari Wali Good News’.
