Zeenat Aman writes a message about the gender gap in Bollywood.
In a video shared by Zeenat Aman of her dancing with Laila O Laila, the post was seen giving her an interview during which she said most women were offered roles embellished with singing, dancing and flaunting in front of the male leads. She adds that it’s exciting to see women demanding good roles and rejecting roles that are merely decorative. In her caption, Zeenat Aman wrote that the video was from the late ’70s when Keith Adam from the Australian Broadcasting Commission slipped onto Qurbani’s set and interviewed her. She said it had been nearly 50 years since the footage was shot. And although Bollywood has changed in terms of the roles available to women. But nothing has changed when it comes to the gender gap.
“It’s been nearly 50 years since this footage was shot. And the industry has changed dramatically since then. The roles available to women are no longer just accessories. What hasn’t changed is the gender pay gap. during my time I was regarded as “The highest paid actress,” but the paycheck disparity between my actors and myself is laughable,” she wrote.
She added, “The seanut you see in this clip is pretty sure half a century will be enough time for the scales to be adjusted. So I’m disappointed that today’s women in the film industry don’t have wage equality. women working continuously And I think the burden now falls on our men. Be it actors, directors, producers, to ensure that their female colleagues. (Not just celebrities) are paid fairly. It seems easy and clear. But still, it would be revolutionary if someone actually did this.”
