On the eve of International Women’s Day, Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan said that Bollywood should change the way it portrays women. Aamir added that Bollywood movies have a huge impact on society.
The reticent and taciturn actor opened up for once and said that over the years he has become very careful about how gender dynamics are presented in his films.
‘I have become much more careful and sensitive. That process does not stop. It is a learning process. We have to really look how we are portraying women in our film industry,’ Aamir told women journalists at IWPC.
‘I don’t know where to start, maybe take a small set of people because we are affecting minds. We have to look at that carefully,’ Aamir added.
The actor, on a jocular note, said that his activism often lands him in trouble with Bollywood as he starts talking about social issues in showbiz parties.
Aamir Khan was in Delhi to promote the second season of his famous TV show ‘Satyamev Jayatey’.
