Bollywood actress turned activist, Somy Ali works closely with rape and domestic victims who바카라ve been rescued through her NGO, No More Tears. But that does not mean that she is not aware of what is happening in Indian cinema. She calls Indian entertainment in its current avatar, 바카라the brave new world for female actors바카라.

She goes on to elaborate, 바카라It바카라s not tough to be an actor in today바카라s film-making scenario. On the contrary, it has developed into a craft, which is much more liberal and has opened pathways, especially for female actors that were not available even as early as five years ago. With Netflix giving opportunities to the likes of the beautiful and brilliant Madhuri Dixit, I think it바카라s a brave new world for female actors.바카라

She adds, 바카라There has always been a genuine bias towards women the minute they cross over the age of 35. I have seen that literally change and slowly disappear, which is a sign of progress in so many ways. I can only visualise this trend growing stronger in the future.바카라

Somy, in her own words, has been a reluctant actress during her stint in Bollywood. Her debut film, Anth (1994), is also one of the most popular action films of the 90s. Talking about her journey in filmdom, she says, 바카라The only obstacle in my film journey has been me as I had this self-destructive attitude of having no interest in acting and secondly, leading ladies in the 90s바카라 era were mainly used as props. Even a film like Anth ended up making it to the silver jubilee, however, it was justifiably recognised for Suniel바카라s (Shetty) tremendous dedication and hard work. It also rightfully received great recognition for its phenomenal action.바카라
