Exclusive: “Male Actors Have A Say In Casting” Kritika Kamra On The Dark Side Of Bollywood
This is so true!
The film industry is often blamed for treating male and female celebrities in a different light. While male stars have enough amount of privilege, female stars hardly get a chance to make their point. Speaking about this, actress Kritika Kamra sat with The Male Feminist host–Siddhaarth Aalambayan, to chat everything feminism, casting and more. In the latest conversation, the actress pin pointed at the fact male actors get the privilege and a say during the casting round.
She went on to say–”I am never asked about my opinion on casting. Not just male actors, but I also feel it is a power dynamic. If you’re a star of something, you have a say, I don’t have that. And sometimes you’re also told that this is what it is, and there is no question of why.” Kamra also spoke about the other side of Bollywood, and how often actresses are judged on the basis of their appearance. Revealing the same, she also mentioned the pressures of being judged–”The problem of fitting into a certain beauty standard. It starts before acting. I think it is for all women. I feel beauty and appearance is such a big thing. You’re treated a certain way, if you look a certain way. And of course as an actor, the pressure is even higher because you’re constantly being commented on, the basis of your looks.”
