Controversial Remarks
Sadanand claimed in the interview:
“I think rape should be had” in a conversation on a debate over consent. “Somewhere too, the girl provides a clue. No one I know of who has been clear and direct has been raped. I have always been open and transparent. Don’t bother,” I answer, “not wanting to be a heroine at all costs.”
