i am increasingly loving and rooting for the actresses of current gen. They truly are in their own way trying to redefine the rules of the sexist Bollywood.
First in terms of affairs. Earlier like Raveena mentioned in an interview women always got the short end of the stick in failed affairs irrespective of who was to blame. They were shamed and encouraged to keep quiet like "good girls". Even Ash was horribly shamed for speaking out against Salman. Today a Kangana calls out without fear of shame all her male detractors with whom she may or may not have had affairs. Her boldness has kind of silenced others who are shocked to react. Also social media has helped her by being more pro her. Even a Deepika or a Katrina are more than willing to share their side of their story rather than nursing their breakups in a corner or feeling shamed. More power to them. Their reactions post break up is also exemplary where they have moved on to become stronger and better.
Money - the fact that they are demanding more money should be encouraged. Truth be told a Kangana was the primary reason a queen or twm2 was the hit that it was. Ditto with Deepika and Katrina. Katrina may not be a great actress but nobody can deny her star power. Priyanka by expanding her horizons and pushing herself is truly working towards bring a global star.
Roles- the fact that these actresses want and demand meatier roles rather than being content playing eye candy is also worth rooting for. From an Aalia to a Sonam to a Kangana to a Deepika to a Priyanka. Most of them seem more keen on doing meritorious roles.
Exciting to see how it pans out for all of them but kudos to them for defining the way and making their mark in a sexist Bollywood.

Agree with most of it but Sonam is nowhere interested in doing meritorious roles.
Neerja just happened to her. But in future also she will be happy with movies in which she will be just running around the tree for Sallu or Prem.
Kangy, DP, Aalia are doing good roles and Katty, Sona are joining in too.

Thankyou for the thread😊.

Nothing wrong with rivalry among actresses.

But the sexism,the s**t shaming has to stop.

Sites like BollywoodLife " has been pitting women against each other, degrading, belittling & bullying women for far too long."

current lot more depend on their dramatic relationship but earlier weather actor or actress depend on performance. Earlier pr media lobby manipulation is not that much famous and influential.

i agree.In past actresses were far less popular and respected than actors.bt now most of the actresses have their own starpower,and they are equally important and popular as male actors.
