Lady Gaga brought electronic pop into the mainstream when she debuted in 2008, but the pop star faced a lot of criticism. It was not for her music but for the over-the-top fashion and music videos that she produced. There were numerous ways that the media brought Gaga down. They questioned her sexuality, passed sexist comments, and even asked if she had a dick, but the ‘Alejandro’ singer rose above everything.
It is not hidden that women in the entertainment business face misogyny on an everyday basis. However, nothing was different for Lady Gaga when she visited India. One of the biggest stars in India, Shahrukh Khan, interviewed the songstress. In 2011, Gaga sat with Shahrukh Khan for an interview, where many instances made Gaga uncomfortable, but the Grammy-winning artist handled the situation like a pro, shutting down his cringey behavior.
