Actress Diana Penty recently spoke out about the persistent gender bias in Bollywood, highlighting how male actors often continue playing hero roles well into their 60s, while female actors are relegated to “mother of three” roles in their 30s.
In an interview, Penty candidly remarked, “We have accepted this is what it is.” She expressed concern over the limited range of roles offered to women as they age, contrasting sharply with the longevity and variety afforded to male actors in the industry.
The actress’s comments shed light on a long-standing issue in Bollywood, where age and gender heavily influence casting decisions. Penty’s observations come at a time when audiences and industry insiders alike are increasingly calling for more meaningful and diverse roles for women on screen.
With conversations around gender equality gaining momentum, Penty’s remarks add another voice to the push for reform in the film industry’s portrayal of women.
