The actress added that no one has ever talked about a man in the same way as they talk about women.
“It’s like we’ve gone back decades,” she said.
Sonam Kapoor said that if you are a woman associated with the fashion and film industry, you are not considered an artist or a creative person, instead her character is questioned.
The actress further said that all men and women are the same in the film industry but men are made ‘heroes’ while women are made ‘conspiratorial witches’.
“We are artists, what is the difference between us and a male actor or director?” They are made ‘heroes’ and women are made ‘conspiratorial witches’ and I feel bad about that.
Sonam Kapoor said that it is more strange that some women are pushing this statement, there are a lot of things that should not have happened.
