Further, the actress said that she is proud that she has never repeated a character in her career.
Aahana also shared her opinion on the debate on camps existing in the film industry.
Aahana Says Not Many Character Roles Are Written For Female Actors Even Today
The Lipstick Under My Burkha actress was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times, "Filmmakers really need to pay attention to the kind of roles female actors are playing on the web. How many strong female parts in films could you recall in the recent past? I take immense pride in saying that I've never repeated a character. I see so many heroines in films who keep repeating the same roles, and I do understand that they can't turn around and say no because it's a film at the end of the day."
'I Have Always Questioned The Scarcity Of Parts For Women,' Says Aahana
She further added, "When it comes to us, there are mostly heroine and mother parts. And then, when they write a few films on sportswomen or female cops, they end up casting the same actress for three different sports films or cop dramas. I've always questioned this scarcity of parts for women."

The actress said that filmmakers will continue to make star-driven films that audience would watch because they have to recover their cost and make profit.
"If big films aren't made then small films won't get funded. So, in a way, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar run my kitchen. Because of them, other small films will be made and I'll get some roles in them. I am indebted to these big stars," the actress told the tabloid.
