Ratna Pathak Shah spoke about more women getting roles above a certain age now. The actress admitted that women are a significant segment of the paying public. The actor said the filmmakers should meet their demands.
Talking to you Bollywood bubble, Ratna said, “I think it’s definitely a reality and there are several reasons for that. First, we are a very important part of the paying public. Humare pass maal hai aur aur aurton ke pass abhi maal hai (We have money and women these days have money) You should thank me. You should tell me stories that I find interesting. I don’t find Madmax and this whole violent world interesting. You should tell me stories that I like because I’m paying for it. It is a very big important event.’
“Second thing, there are so many of us, right” And thirdly, we’ve finally gotten out of this completely stereotypical formulaic mindset of doing a story. Ek hi kahaani chapte jao, chapte jao TV mein, movies mein, har jagah ek hi chapte jao, (keep doing one kind of stories, on TV, in movies, exactly the same everywhere), he added.
