Bollywood actress Dia Mirza has always made sure that her voice is loud and clearly heard when it comes to a topic that needs addressing.
She has recently claimed that Bollywood has constantly made women a prey of toxic patriarchy and this has led to a negative representation of women in the industry.
She has emphasized that a change is needed to be brought in the industry where objectifying women is quite common.
She said “We need to rethink the way we treat our women and female characters in films, There are different types of people who tell stories in cinema and a lot of what is made is their reflection of what they understand of what is happening in society, from their experiences, what they imbibe and consequently how they reflect that through their cinematic journey,”
She added: “And then some don’t think of any of this and treat cinema like a mass entertainment business that caters to a vast percentage of the audience. And unfortunately, there is a large part of the audience that does enjoy this narrative and it is disgusting,”
In the end she concluded that she refuses this culture of objectifying and urged others to come forward as well so that this issue can be addressed properly and this culture could come to an end.
