What we love the most about Shabana Azmi is that the legendary actress follows a strictly “no hold back” policy when it comes to voicing her opinions.
Shabana said in a recent interview, “Films are a very important medium of communication and I do think if change is to happen in society, then it must be reflected in mainstream cinema because if you are only going to talk about different characters within parallel or independent cinema, then you are preaching to the already converted.”
She further said, “I am particularly pleased that this is something that the top female stars of today are taking very seriously and are willing to go that extra mile to work in the film that has something significant to say about women.”
Praising Bollywood stars like Vidya Balan, Kangana Ranaut, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor Khan, vetren actor said that women have been contributing to the cause of empowerment and she thinks that is helping a great deal.
On the acting front, Shabana is gearing up for the release of her forthcoming film Sonata, directed by critically acclaimed film-maker Aparna Sen.
