In an earlier
interview with SheThePeople.TV Kumra on being asked about objectification of women in Hindi Cinema said, “Objectifying women started in Hindi films right from the word go. There have always been items songs in male-driven films because there are hardly any films for women in India. Most films about women don’t get funding easily, even for that matter a
woman director, cinematographer is something that’s not easy to find/fund. I hope this film changes that. A change is happening but it’s gradual. Men are threatened easily by women’s freedom of speech globally. Be it in the parliament or films. Every time a woman voices her opinion it’s easily quietened because they apparently have to stay ‘
in their place’. But I sincerely hope this change happens gradually.
