Saaho Actress Shraddha Kapoor Feels Casual Sexism Is On Its Way Out Of Bollywood
Saaho actress Shraddha Kapoor has noticed a change in the way women are being treated in the entertainment industry. She feels that casual sexism in the film business is going away.
Off
late,
Bollywood
has
been
going
through
a
reformation
when
it
comes
to
views
on
women
and
feminism.
With
gender
becoming
an
increasingly
discussed
topic,
we
can
see
the
industry
becoming
more
aware
of
it.
Actress
Shraddha
Kapoor
has
also
noticed
a
change
in
the
way
women
are
being
treated
in
the
entertainment
industry.
She
feels
that
casual
sexism
in
the
business
is
going
away.
Read
what
she
said
about
this.
The
Saaho
actress
told
IANS,
"I
think
whether
it
is
in
our
entertainment
business
or
in
our
society,
the
casual
sexism
is
going
away
and
it
was
bound
to
happen.
It
is
wonderful
to
see
how
gender
is
not
limiting
a
job
profile,
there
is
no
such
things
as
'men's
job'
anymore.
All
those
notions
that
were
previously
practised
are
challenged
now."
"That
is
why,
many
parents
are
'ok'
with
the
decision
of
their
children
when
they
do
not
follow
a
so-called
timeline
to
get
married,
to
have
a
baby
or
even
not
having
either
of
them," she
added.
This
may
be
attributed
to
the
way
in
which
women
are
being
portrayed
in
Indian
cinema
these
days.
Speaking
about
the
change
that
she
has
noticed
first-hand,
Shraddha
said,
"When
I
started
my
career,
I
saw
a
few
female
photographers
and
never
got
papped
by
any
female
paparazzi.
In
last
three
years,
I
see
there
are
four
female
photographers
who
are
also
doing
paparazzi
just
like
other
men...I
feel
so
proud
of
those
girls."
She
concluded,
"We
should
get
opportunity
only
based
on
our
skill
and
not
based
on
our
gender.
There
are
many
such
examples
where
women
are
making
their
marks
in
the
field
that
is
predominated
by
men.
This
is
what
gender
equality
for
me."
Shraddha's
movie
Saaho,
also
starring
south
actor
Prabhas,
released
today
in
Hindi,
Tamil
and
Telugu.
The
film
has
received
mediocre
reviews
from
critics.
Shraddha
will
next
be
seen
in
Remo
D'Souza's
directorial,
Street
Dancer
3D,
in
which
she
will
star
opposite
Varun
Dhawan.
