A
while
back,
actress
Neena
Gupta
had
expressed
that
senior
actresses
should
be
given
roles
that
are
appropriate
to
their
age.
Neena
had
stated
this
in
view
of
Saand
Ki
Aankh,
a
film
about
60
year-old
sharp
shooters,
starring
young
actors
like
Taapsee
Pannu
and
Bhumi
Pednekar.
Veteran
actress
Farida
Jalaal
too
shared
Neena's
views
on
this.
She
pointed
that
senior
female
actors
don't
get
as
many
opportunities
as
their
male
counterparts
do.
Times
of
India
quoted
Farida
as
saying,
"Look
at
the
male
counterparts-
Anupam
Kher,
Om
Puri
and
Paresh
Rawal.
They
were
cast
opposite
me.
And
now
look
at
the
fact
that
they
have
got
to
do
a
villain's
role,
comedian's
role,
lawyer's
role,
doctor's
role.
And
their
body
language
was
so
different
in
all.
What
haven't
they
done?
But
what
about
the
women?
Why
aren't
we
given
those
opportunities?"
Farida
also
shared
her
opinions
on
the
recent
mud-slinging
and
targeting
that
the
Hindi
film
industry
is
being
subjected
to.
Expressing
that
she
does
not
like
what
is
going
on
at
the
moment,
she
said
that
she
is
in
love
with
her
profession.
"I
am
in
a
happy
space.
I
am
happy
that
I
have
been
around
for
so
long.
I
love
my
life.
I
love
my
film
industry.
I
hate
what's
going
on
at
this
moment.
I
don't
want
to
get
there
but
it
hurts
deeply
because
I
am
in
love
with
my
profession.
Creative
people
are
much
better
off
in
the
rest
of
the
world,"
she
said.
Farida
was
last
seen
in
Jawaani
Jaaneman,
which
also
starred
Saif
Ali
Khan,
debutant
Alaya
F
and
Tabu
in
the
lead
roles.
Jawaani
Jaaneman
was
directed
by
Nitin
Kakkar
and
produced
by
Jackky
Bhagnani.
