Hindi films now portraying women in a progressive way: Kareena Kareena believes a modern Indian woman plays diverse roles in her life and she considers herself to be one

Kareena Kapoor Khan says she is proud and happy that Bollywood filmmakers are now showing women in a progressive way in movies. The actor attributes this change to the influx of young writers in films. In an interview to PTI, Kareena says, “One can definitely see a change in the way women have been portrayed on screen in the Hindi film industry.

“The roles are now written by young directors, who have been successful in highlighting the personality of women who are hardworking and successful. Films have now been portraying women in a more progressive manner.” The 36-year-old actor, who was last seen in “Udta Punjab”, welcomed her first child, Taimur Ali Khan, in December last year. Talking about balancing her work and motherhood, the actor says, “I have always maintained a personal and professional life but now it’s more difficult as Taimur is too young. I try to strike a balance. I have a great support system with (husband) Saif and my family.”

Kareena believes a modern Indian woman plays diverse roles in her life and she considers herself to be one. “She is a multifaceted woman, lives her life to the
fullest and fulfils her choices with confidence and style. I am proud to be a married, independent and working woman. I carry that with great honour and pride. Despite being married, I work and have my own identity.” Kareena is all charged up to begin work on her next project “Veere Di Wedding” alongside Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar.

However, she did not comment on the reports of her signing a biopic by Omung Kumar, another movie with Salman Khan and Karan Johar’s next. Meanwhile, the “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” star is the muse of designer Anita Dongre’s autumn winter campaign #IamAND, which celebrates the multifaceted personality of the modern Indian woman.

“AND is one brand that has changed the fashion scenario in the country. With its new campaign, the brand conveys a very strong message of celebrating the multifaceted personality of the modern Indian woman, which I truly identify with,” says Kareena.

'Bhoomi' Trailer: Sanjay Dutt Gives His Most Intense & Emotional Performance So Far

Celebrities

Aug 102017

Sanjay Dutt is finally making a comeback after a hiatus of 3 years (he was last seen in Aamir Khan’s ‘PK’), so our excitement and expectations have been at a pinnacle since the day it was announced that he would be a part of the film, ‘Bhoomi’. Today, the trailer of that much-awaited movie has just been released and Sanju Baba plays a fierce and unforgiving possessive father who can’t stand his daughter being harmed by anyone. The trailer of Omung Kumar’s directorial venture is brilliant, with the ruggedness, thrill, emotions and vindictiveness kept intact in each frame. In fact, some of the dialogue is incredibly arresting.

This heart-wrenching trailer intrigues our senses while compelling one to question the attitude that men and society have towards women. The movie touches base with the life of Arun (Sanjay Dutt), his selfless love for his daughter, ‘Bhoomi’ played by Aditi Rao Hydari and the extreme steps he takes in order to protect her dignity and life. How a happy family is torn apart and left to suffer and fight against some miscreants and the society weaves the rest of the plot. Check out the trailer here.

Apparently, Sanjay Dutt chose this date to release the trailer because it coincides with his daughter, Trishala’s, birthday. He might be involved in a lot of controversy and criminal cases personally, but professionally, he has evolved into a great actor and this seems to be one of his most intense and emotional performances so far. The movie slated to be released on September 22 and will see Shekhar Suman and TV actor Sharad Kelkar in pivotal roles as well.
