Speak up if you have an issue: Janhvi Kapoor
Speaking to PTI, the actress said, ‘Overall, in my experience, when I agree to do a film, there are various perspectives involved. During the shoot on set, you can also put forward your point of view on any issue. It is possible the makers didn’t intend to portray the female character in that specific way. After all, no one sets out to make a film with the intention of objectifying an actress. If an actress is uncomfortable with something, she can speak up and say that it doesn’t feel right.’
Kangana added, ‘I have observed that people on set don’t always think, ‘Oh, this shot looks a certain way.’ As a woman, you can voice your opinion. You can tell the makers if a particular scene or shot doesn’t seem right.’
You can say it doesn’t look good on screen: Kangana
The actress further stated, ‘Working on a film is a collaborative effort. As a woman, anyone can share their perspective, pointing out if something looks off or noting that it doesn’t appear good on screen. Most others would likely agree with you. Agreeing to do a film like this is essentially a collaboration.’
