"Who are these people and what do they find so objectionable in a little girl being called Sexy? It's like any little girl dressing up in her mother's sari and lipstick, posing before a mirror and trying to be 'sexy' without knowing what the word means. Why such a hue and cry over an innocent name!"
“I don't know why anyone should object when the censor board had no objections. 'Cheeni Kum' has family audiences coming in droves. I don't know of any parent or child feeling uncomfortable with Swini being named Sexy.
"Though some sociologist in one of the articles is quoted as saying it's dangerous, I don't see anyone getting anxious because Bachchan calls the kid Sexy. Dirty or clean, it's all in the viewers' minds. Really, I'm struck speechless after this unnecessary controversy."
"If we filmmakers are muzzled and muffled for a harmless name given to a child with no ulterior motives, then we might as well go back to the times when the hero was named Rama and the villain Ravan. And if the heroine had twins they had to be Luv and Kush," he added.
So what do you as a viewer feel? The girl was brilliant in the film and the movie has a lot of tongue and cheek humor. But I also feel that movies can interpreted anyway and that’s where at times the danger lies. Calling the kid “Sexy” was not necessary and didn’t add to her character.
