‘The society is male-dominated’
Sonam Kapoor, who is known for her outspoken views, says the society is “male-dominated”, but things are slowly changing.
“It's a male-dominated society and a male-dominated world, but I think it's changing slowly and steadily,” Sonam said.
“I have the luxury of choosing to do a film like Neerja, but a lot of people don't,” she added.
“It's about the quality of female role that you have. It's about choosing a role that is inspirational for women,” she added. Sonam also asserted that she is not outspoken, but just “honest” about her opinion.
“I don't think I am outspoken. I am straight forward and honest and I believe as an Indian, it's imperative to have an opinion especially in the atmosphere that we are living in. There is a general downward spiral that the world is going in. Anybody who has an opinion, it's important to speak up,” the actress said.
I will go on to make films that I believe in. I believe there is no such relation between business and a film's integrity. like PK, which was the biggest hit, but I still feel lage Raho Munna Bhai is better. When you make a film, you should not think about the returns
