MUMBAI: Hema Malini, the iconic Bollywood actress and aspiring politician, has raised her voice against the lack of substantial roles for female actors in the Indian film industry. In a recent interview, the actress expressed her concerns over the dominance of male actors in the industry, stating that great roles are “written specially” for them, not for her or her female counterparts.
Despite having some memorable roles in her career, Hema Malini believes that the industry has not given female actors the kind of roles they truly deserve.
