Gender Bias No More A Norm In Bollywood: Kangana Ranaut At Cannes

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut made her debut at the Cannes Film Festival, where she grabbed eyeballs with her stunning look, on Wednesday. She rocked in a black Sabyasachi saree with a neck piece made of rose cut diamonds. She will be there for three days.

Speaking at the Indian Pavillion at the 71st edition of the festival, she said gender bias is no more a norm in Bollywood as times have changed.

Kangana said she was not an exception. “With the modernization and the way the world has changed… the difference between men and women have changed. There is a certain equality that has come about in he system. People now question if actor and actresses put in the same effort, why can’t they be treated as equals?” she added.

Speaking about the regional cinema, she said, “It is very endearing that our regional films- Bengali, Malayalam, Punjabi, Assamese- are getting such a platform and will be showcased here. Someone made a film for the first time in Lakshwadeep and it is getting such a grand platform as Cannes!” she further said.

Others from our industry who are going to walk the red carpet at the Cannes are Deepika Padukone, Huma Qureshi and Sonam Kapoor.
