However, he warns the perpetrators of severe backlash if they do not mend their ways in time.Kumar also conveys a message to girls asking them to be strong rather than considering themselves as second grade citizens. He asks them to silence every detractor who bashes the way they dress. However, he also cautions them to be alert all the time and learn martial arts in order to defend themselves against such criminals.Recently, Kumar has opened a martial arts training institute for women in Mumbai, along with Yuva Sena chief Aditya Thackeray, so that they can defend themselves.
