Sonali Bendre on comeback of 90s actresses

Sonali exclusively told Bollywood Bubble, “I would say that is because we’ve been given the opportunity earlier that opportunity was not there. With OTT platforms, multiplexers, and different kinds of stories being told, suddenly there is a Niche. There’s a place where stories of different kinds can be told and that’s the reason why we‘re able to reinvent. I’m sure women actors working before the 90s also would have loved to have done that but those stories were not being told. So, I think it’s a matter of the timing and the way the opportunities that are available to us and we’re making good of that.”
