Last year when Bol-Bachchan turned 8, actress Prachi Desai had called out Ajay Devgn for missing her in the Bol Bachchan anniversary post. She said, ‘Looks like you forgot the rest of us.”
In exclusive chitchat with Bollywood Bubble, Prachi opened up about her feelings on the discrimination that happens in the industry between male and female stars. Prachi says, “I have been through a lot of incidents like this. After spending a few years in the industry I have realised that it could be an unintentional pattern or even intentional some times. So a time comes when you need to call this out.”

She also adds, “Talking about the Bol Bachchan film I sincerely believe Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty are great team players. During the shooting, it felt like a big family. So that comfort factor also helped me in tweeting about my co-star on him forgetting my name. And this was the time when I received a lot of positive feedback and warm responses for my tweet. It is about any industry, whether it is in India or abroad women are still fighting for their basic credits. And I am not even talking about other things like title song or poster shoots – sometimes even the female actresses are not called for.”
