Mumbai, November 26, 2024.
With more and more women taking up different jobs in the industry and even turning producers, Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit Nene says a lot has changed in Bollywood for the better since the ’80s and ’90s.
Madhuri, who made her debut with “Abodh” in 1984 and went on to be a part of films like “Dil To Pagal Hai”, “Tezaab”, “Beta” and “Raja”, recalled how movie sets would earlier have only female actors and their hairdressers.
“Women have come a long way, it’s always baby steps. When I used to do work in the 80s, and 90s, the only women on the set used to be me, my co-actors who were women or the hairdressers. Today, when I walk in on a set — from the DOP to the ADs, writers, and action masters — there are women everywhere. I couldn’t have imagined they would be in the field, which is amazing.
