Everyone in Bollywood is a "feminist," right? They do. At the very least, they want us to believe that. Who cares if they're all secret mind-players feeding sexualized rubbish to Indian audiences just to make more money? At least they identify as "feminists," don't they? The claim is the crucial phrase here.
However, claiming to be feminists won't make them any money. And money is required to purchase those awards, right? Hence, despite the fact that everyone in Bollywood supports women's empowerment, they are all equally guilty of objectifying women and depicting them as little more than sexual objects.
Can female actresses escape the blame for encouraging such anti-woman behaviour in Bollywood? No. They are unable in any way. Female performers within the industry continue to silently observe as Bollywood objectsifies women. Even though they are professing to be the voice of an everyday Indian woman, they actively participate in such depictions.
Swara Bhaskar, a Bollywood actress who also doubles as an activist, is one such example of a woman with a guilty conscience.
She was quoted by the Hindu in 2014 as saying, "There are times when I have to make concessions too. I turn down filthy film offers and fairness cream advertising. I made the writers aware that I had a problem with the misogyny in my movie Raanjhanaa. Although Prem Ratan Dhan Payo lived in a society that was conservative in social issues. However, I made up for it by acting in Tanu Weds Manu and currently performing Nil Battey Sannata, which addresses the topic of education. The following film is Anarkali Aarawali, in which I portray a performer for an orchestra who sings obscene music.
So, in addition to actively participating in Bollywood's orgy-fest of misogyny, Swara Bhaskar also believes that portraying a singer in an orchestra who performs sex songs is somehow uplifting for women.
Bollywood's issue is that it is rife with phony activists who are actually complicit in the crimes committed by the business. The current state of the Bollywood industry must be destroyed in order to clean out the systematic misogyny present there.
