Richa Chadha Has An Important Positive Message For Gender Equality In The Film Industry

In a world that's polarised on the Insider-Outsider debate, Richa Chadha once again is the much-needed voice of reason. Yesterday, as the world celebrated Women's Equality Day, Richa Chadha took the dialogue on gender equality ahead last evening via an empowering thoughtful post. In a beautiful video on her Instagram, the actress paid tribute to women who became pioneers in the largely male-dominated Hindi film industry. Starting with Bhanu Athaiya who won the Best Costume Award at the 1983 Academy Awards for her film Gandhi and Renu Saluja, who was a well-known film editor, the actress' video chronicles the struggles of women including Guneet Monga, Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma amongst others - who smashed the rules of patriarchy to make their own space.
