Anushka Sharma opens up about prevalent sexism in Bollywood!


Actress Anushka Sharma has always been candid and vocal about her thoughts and opinions. Earlier, in an interview, Anushka has voiced her opinion about the prevalent sexism in Bollywood. “Girls are just expected to be good-looking. Look nice and just be interesting enough for a guy to be interested in you in a film. Women doing films together – they only come together in a film when there’s a guy involved," she had previously told.

“Men can work as long as they want to even when they’ve aged. They’re still amazing and cool. And I have no problem with that. But why is that women are only okay when they’re “young and desirable”? There’s a sexual connotation attached,” she had added.

The actress has given us solo hits like NH 10 and did impress us with her ability as an actor. Anushka will next be in Jab Harry Met Sejal. We got to meet her while she was promoting the film. She was questioned that she has been amongst a few actress who has spoken about sexism in the industry. Have the things changed since then?


Anushka told, "When I spoke about that, I was not talking just about me but in general. Has it changed completely? No, it hasn't but is we moving positively towards that change. I think yes but I think you can't hold the industry for it only because I think it also has to do with people. When you do female centric films, why don't they open to the same box office numbers as against male centric films? This is such a deep rooted thing, so many years we have not really expected much from our female actors. So it will take time for us to get there. We are all pioneer of this change. May be we won't be able to see the real benefits of this change completely but at least we are doing something that will help the process."
