Chitrangda Singh on Housefull 5 controversy

In an interview with News18, Chitrangda reacted to Housefull 5 controversy saying, "I did give it a thought [once the comments began coming in]. But when you hear a script, you don’t hear a shot breakdown. You only visualise as much as the screenplay tells you. Beyond that, the director exercises his own discretion basis how he visualises the shot."The actress further added, "I’m not trying to justify any of it. But I think every actor only has so much control over what they’re doing. Having said that, Housefull has always been a certain kind of comedy. I’m not sitting judge on their take on how they wanted to shoot it. Sometimes physical comedy where a woman is involved does get a little, I suppose, uncomfortable to watch."She stated that when the comedy doesn't land well, people criticise it. But when it lands, everyone has a great laugh. "There are some Jim Carry films which have certain physical comedy scenes and we all laugh at them. The same can be said for Eddie Murphy films. Back in the day, there was a film called Party and there were some scenes there as well."
