Actress Priyanka Chopra whose Hollywood debut film Baywatch is to release on May 25th said that gender bias in bollywood and Hollywood is slowly coming to an end.
The actress was quoted saying, "We live in a male dominated world - be it India or America. Even over there, people are fighing for equality. The world in general has told women that we are second class citizens. So now, even in films, male stars are given that sort of reverance. With female actors also, we should change our point of view. We have already had a 100 crore woman oriented film - Kangana's film, right?"
Priyanka also said, "It's a big fight. Before, such movies did not even get a good opening. But see Mary Kom - it had one of the biggest openings. So it is a good time for actresses. Hopefully, in a few years, our movies will also make 200 or 300 crores. But the mentality of the audience has to change. That is more important. People should want to come and watch good films and not judge if it is a girl or a guy. However, fan followings are a boon. Like my fans will always come to watch my film. And you know India's population! So its fine. As women, we are making changes and as an audience they are making changes. It is the same with Hollywood. The disparity - so many actresses have talked about it."
