The boss lady, Neha Dhupia, never shields away from speaking her mind and is often lauded for her outspoken behavior and bold opinions. She is a role model for many as she successfully juggles her way between her professional life and taking care of her home, husband and baby Mehr.

Earlier, Neha had narrated her struggles and how she was professionally neglected post-pregnancy as she did not receive any offers to work at that time. She has also opened up about the trolling that happened to her for her postpartum weight and had also revealed that she started facing body image issues post-pregnancy. 

“I remember I was trolled very badly where a female journalist wrote something on my weight, and I wrote back. It is not fair to trouble a new mum over her body weight” asserted Neha.

Sexism is in every field, let alone acting. I'm not a feminist as I believe in equal treatment, however, it's going to take ages for the development of equality. Even the most developed places (NYC, London, etc) have incidents of sexism, so it will take time for this issue to be subdued. One can either laugh it off or fight it off.
