Freedom doesn’t mean you can run naked on the street. You still have a social responsibility and Bhansali doesn’t get the right to do whatever under the pretext of freedom of speech or expression.

That movie can be named ‘Queen Elizabeth’ or maybe some other name, and Bhansali can still earn money without showing Rajput culture.
