Madhuri: Ageism, Sexism Hurt Women Most
1 Jun
Summary
- Women face unfair scrutiny over appearance, age, and choices.
- Society judges women on looks rather than achievements.
- Madhuri returns to comedy with 'Maa Behen' film.
Madhuri Dixit, a seasoned entertainer, observes that women in the industry still encounter pervasive sexism and ageism. She notes that comments often focus on physical changes like weight or graying hair, overlooking a person's overall contributions and life circumstances. Dixit advocates for accepting individuals as they are, valuing their achievements over superficial judgments about their appearance.
Dixit is set to star in the upcoming comedy film 'Maa Behen,' directed by Suresh Triveni. This marks a shift for the actor, as her recent projects, including 'Mrs Deshpande,' 'Maja Ma,' and 'The Fame Game,' were primarily dramatic. She expressed eagerness to re-engage with the comedy genre. The film, a Netflix project, also features content creator Dharna Durga, who Dixit encouraged during initial workshop sessions.
