Suhasini
Mani
Ratnam,
who
is
known
for
her
outspoken
nature
is
once
again
in
news,
post
her
sensational
comment
on
the
present
day
heroines.
Though
her
remark
was
something
we
often
heard
of,
it
is
now
grabbing
many
eyeballs
since
the
actress
has
of
late
become
famous
for
her
controversial
statements.
Talking
to
TOI,
Suhasini
opined
that
the
present
day
actresses
are
just
being
used
as
props
and
glam
dolls
in
the
movies
and
has
added
that
she
feels
lucky
to
be
an
actress
of
the
80's,
when
meaty
roles
were
penned
for
female
leads
too.
"I
think
actresses
like
Radikaa
Sarathkumar,
Revathy
and
Saritha
were
all
lucky
to
have
acted
in
the
80s.
We
did
some
really
strong
characters
back
then.
But
now,
actresses
are
just
used
as
props.
They
are
all
so
beautiful,
talented
and
have
such
a
wide
exposure,
but
there
are
so
few
women-oriented
roles.
I
guess
the
Hindi
film
industry
is
doing
much
better
in
those
terms.
"Actresses
like
Vidya
Balan
and
Kangana
Ranaut
have
been
playing
strong
characters.
Though
the
north
film
industry
is
equally
male-dominated
as
the
south,
the
situation
has
only
deteriorated
here.
Also,
I
think
the
girls
are
finding
an
easy
way
out
and
aren't
really
keen
on
doing
strong
characters.",
said
Suhasini.
However,
this
isn't
the
first
time
Suhasini
is
being
vocal
about
her
opinion
on
the
female
characters
of
the
present
day
movies.
She
has
expressed
her
say
several
times
before,
but
it
is
only
now
people
are
reading
between
the
lines.
