A video starring actress Kalki Koechlin which takes a dig at some controversial comments made by public figures on recent rape incidents has gone viral online.

The video 'It's Your Fault', which also stars VJ Juhi Pandey, has over 8 lakh hits since it was published on September 19 on YouTube.

In the video, Kalki and Juhi, in a satirical tone, blame women for dressing up provocatively.

"Ladies, do you think rape is something men do out of a desire for control empowered by years of patriarchy. You clearly been mislead by the notion that women are people too, because let's face it ladies. Rape, it's your fault," Kalki says in the video.
 

She and Juhi then go on to target all the controversial statements made by politicians, godmen and other public figures.

The video was made by a group of four stand-up comedians -- Tanmay Bhat, Gursimran Khamba, Rohan Joshi and Ashish Shakya -- in the wake of recent rape incidents that took the country by storm.

The video is a response to all the insensitive comments that follow such incidents in India.
