During a candid chat, Amala Paul recalled watching Bollywood films as a kid and how women were only portrayed as the perfect one. Speaking about how today she wants to see more, Amala was quoted saying, “I want to see stories that explore the grey side–the insecurities, fears, and traumas we develop from our relationships or childhood. I wish there were more movies that taught us to love ourselves; to put ourselves first.”

The changing narratives of today are paving the way for a tomorrow where the ambitions, desires and dreams of women are boundless. Eight-year-old Inayat Verma who recently starred in Ludo, added, “Mein badi ho kar working girl ka role karna chahungi. Kyunki tab hum pyaar bhi kar sakte hain, aur independent bhi.”

On the other hand, Neena Gupta said, “I think things have changed over the last 3-4 years. Actresses my age are getting more interesting roles. I recently met young girls at an airport who told me that they loved Pinni — a story about an older woman and her husband. I never thought young girls would like something like this.”
