Sexism in Bollywood films has been a long-standing issue and the recent celebrity to open up about it is actress Dia Mirza. Talking about sexism in the Hindi film industry she also acknowledged that her 2001 debut movie Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein had sexist elements in it.
Opening up about how everyone was a part of the cycle, she told Brut India, “People were writing, thinking and making sexist cinema and I was a part of these stories… Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein has sexism in it… I was acting with these people. I was working with these people. It’s crazy. I will give you small examples. A makeup artist could only be a man, could not be a woman. A hairdresser only had to be a woman… When I started working in films there were at best about four or five women on any given crew with a unit strength of over 120… sometimes 180 people.”
