Kriti Sanon has spoken about gender discrimination in the film industry, highlighting the different treatment received by female actors on film sets. She said women are often taken for granted and claimed that even assistant directors appear hesitant when dealing with male actors.
The actress explained that female actors are judged differently when they ask questions during a project. According to Kriti, women are often labelled as overthinking or asking too many questions, while similar suggestions from male actors are welcomed and considered for execution.
Kriti recalled an incident where she was told not to overanalyse after raising a question. She said a male colleague, however, received a more encouraging response, with his idea being accepted. She used the example to explain what she believes is an unequal working environment.
The actress also spoke about differences in the facilities provided to actors. She said she has no issue staying in a small room or travelling in a smaller vehicle. However, she does not like situations where she feels she is being treated as less important than others.
Kriti further claimed that assistant directors usually call female actors to the set first. She believes this happens because many crew members are more cautious when dealing with male stars, while female actors are often expected to adjust without questioning decisions.
Her remarks have sparked widespread discussion on social media. Many users supported her views and praised her for raising the issue. Others, however, questioned the timing of her comments, with some alleging that the statements were intended to attract attention ahead of her next film.
Kriti Sanon remains one of Bollywood‘s leading actresses and has built a strong career with a wide range of performances. Some social media users believe her comments reflect a demand for stronger roles and better opportunities, while others see them as a broader discussion about workplace equality.
Whether these remarks will have any impact on Kriti’s future collaborations remains uncertain. Having worked with several major production houses, it will be interesting to see whether her comments influence future professional relationships or encourage wider conversations about equality in the film industry.
