Summary
- Actress Nithya Menen opposes on-screen objectification of women.
- She argues hyper-commercialization fuels objectification across industries.
- Menen advises actors to establish boundaries early for respect.
Actress Nithya Menen has voiced her stance on the 'Peddi' controversy, emphasizing her firm opposition to the objectification of women in cinema. Although she has not seen the film, Menen believes the root of the problem lies in hyper-commercialization, which often prioritizes content that titillates audiences for mass appeal.
Menen highlighted that objectification is a global issue present across all film industries, not specific to any one region. She advocates for actors to establish clear boundaries early in their careers. According to her, asserting oneself is possible, and choosing personal values over fame is a valid decision, even if it leads to fewer opportunities.
She suggested that while some commercial roles might be forgone due to setting boundaries, this choice is acceptable for those who prioritize their craft and principles over superstardom. Janhvi Kapoor, the actress at the center of the 'Peddi' controversy, has not yet issued a public statement.
