Below are a couple of our favourite quotes from the verbal smackdown:
“I think you need to do your homework well,”

"Indian society is regressive for women."

"I think it's a very, very regressive state for women. And I stand by it!”

“As a woman, I should lie about the state of women that’s in our country? So I didn’t lie. I said the truth.”
