Mumbai: Amidst ‘Smash the patriarchy’ campgain post Rhea Chakraborty’s arrest and a day after Hollywood actor Kate Winslet reevaluated her career choices in an explosive interview to Vanity Fair, Bollywood singer Sona Mohapatra has shared a list of eight suggestions. She wants these to be implemented in Bollywood to ‘smash the patriarchy’ the right way, reported Hindustan Times (HT).
This includes equal pay for female actors and encouraging female directors. She also lauded Anushka Sharma for encouraging women directors.
Sona took to Twitter to show the “right way” of doing it. She tweeted, “Lets do this the right way dear #Bollywood & #India cus the rest is mostly hot air. 1) Pay your top actresses the same as your top actors.2) Write enough worthy roles 3) Film them ‘solo songs’ to make them larger than life? (No, item numbers don’t count). #SmashThePatriarchy.”

8)Trust women directors (not just the ones from the film families)with bigger production budgets.They are less likely to blow it up on wasteful ego-driven choices2.Financing a woman driven project is difficult as hell.Kudos to producer @AnushkaSharma for backing women directors??
