Completely loved it! For me, this was the best Bollywood actors roundtable in years! Everyone was so unabashed, politically incorrect and in their true elements. Add to that the way all of them were articulating their answers and were respecting each other's opinions and not interrupting like a f**king B school GD. People like Alia and Anushka need to watch this and learn how to stop interrupting people when they speak in a roundtable.

everyone was so good except zaira..she has some attitude problems for sure..her facial expressions are extremely cold and off-putting..i just cannot like her despite trying

ratna was being so sweet to her though..

vidya is so humble and she doesn't feel the need to put her point across abruptly everytime..she is a good listener

swara had some killer points ..yes she talks a little too fast but her points were spot on

bhumi was good too

but ratna is one intellectual woman..she had some really valid points put across esp the patriarchal system

Loved it!

Ratna and Vidya are so great man. What speakers, so articulate.

I think Zaira was just really nervous. Swara had good points but was too jumpy. Bhoomi was the odd one out for me. She kept going back to having a nice family over and over 😆😆

But overall, amazing round table. And now the actors round table is going to ruin it all 😭

Okay Swara needs to calm down and Zaira needs to sit down with that terrible attitude at 17. She is sounds so off-putting and condescending.

Vidya/ Ratna and Bhumi are goals! What clarity of thought and communication.

+1, she sounded like she's tripping on something and those hand gestures didn't help.

This was the best Roundtable ever. Each woman literally brought so much to the... table lol.

Each with an individual viewpoint and style.

I love Swara's awkwardness - she's so goofy and adorable and like an eager child trying to say everything at once, only just about making sense - I found her endearing.

Bhumi was so poised and a total glamour-puss. She spoke a whole lotta sense too, I didn't know she was this cool. Just followed her on social media after this.

Ratna-ji is a goddess. We all need someone like that in our life, it was so nice to see the way she passed on her wisdom and how at peace she seemed to be. She was super encouraging, which I lovvveee.

Vidya darling as usual was full of life and anecdotes! She's the loveliest heroine ever, the most genuine and just so so attracting.

Zaira showed such maturity and seemed so humble, I really don't understand why people are so offended by her... hmmm or maybe I do?

This "interview/discussion" was so important, a milestone even. It's almost like a turning point in the history of Bollywood. The last 4-5 years the discussion within and outside Bollywood regarding sexism, misogyny, patriarchy that has been brewing, seems to have finally taken the next step. We have seen small changes, but the way these ladies articulated and carried forward the movement was monumental. People will look back @ this Roundtable as a start of a new chapter. Everything has been leading up to this point.

This was very refreshing to see. I could listen to just Vidya and Ratna respectively. Swara was very excited to get her point across I see but, she has some good responses and some interesting experiences. I felt Zaira didn't have too much to say as she only has 2 film and is 17. Her accent and tone remind me of Sonam. Bhumi was okay here but she is very interested in giving her piece too and I liked that.
