Did You Know?
| Trivia | Following a preview screening for invited guests shortly before this film's general release, the Norwegian ambassador to India Hans Jacob Frydenlund claimed the movie was "a work of fiction" that contained "a number of factual inaccuracies". Ambassador Frydenlund said in a statement: "Children will never be taken away from their families [in Norway] based on cultural differences described. Eating with their hands or having children sleeping in bed with their parents are not considered practices harmful to children and are not uncommon in Norway, irrespective of cultural background." Despite this, two of the complaints, or 'charges', leveled against Sagarika Chakraborty (upon whom the character of Mrs Chatterjee is based) by Norwegian child welfare authorities were that she hand-fed her children and 'co-slept' with them in the same bed. In particular, the authorities concerned claimed that her feeding methods amounted to a form of force-feeding. See more » |
