“Cool That Actresses Are Marrying, Getting Pregnant,” Huma Qureshi On The Significant Shift In Film Industry
Where's the lie?
In recent times, many actresses have come forward to speak about the various issues and inequalities that exist in the film industry for women. They have been vocal about the set rules for an actress to look a certain way and the stereotypes that come along with it. However, things are changing and so is the outlook. In a recent panel discussion, jointly organised by the National Commission For Women and Netflix, actress Huma Qureshi spoke about the shift that has happened in recent years in the Indian film industry. She also appreciated the fact that the actresses no longer conform to the dictated set of norms listed for them to excel in this field.

Huma Qureshi was a part of the panel discussing the role of women in the field of entertainment. The actress who has a flourishing career in this field and has been around for a long time shed her thoughts on the changes that have taken place in the film industry, especially for women. The Double XL actress said that female actors in the film industry are considered somewhat like apples, which are no longer good once they are ripe. Elaborating on the same, she said that actresses are expected to debut at a younger age so that they have enough time in their acting career before they marry and have kids.

But talking about recent times, Huma Qureshi said that it is cool to see that her colleagues are actually changing this narrative. “The taboo that existed even 10 years ago is changing,” added Huma Qureshi. She even talked about the way the media is presenting the news of actresses marrying or getting pregnant and that it is no longer a topic to mock them and bring them down.

Huma Qureshi is absolutely right with her observations here. Actresses no longer are allowing their careers to become a hindrance in their personal life choices. In fact, Alia Bhatt had once clearly stated that she has no regrets about giving birth to a child at the peak of her career. These examples are a reflection of the confidence that the actresses have in their talent and that their career does not depend on any other thing except that.
