Bhumi Pednekar On Gender Disparity & Working In Times With Equal Opportunities For Both Men-Women

Actress Bhumi Pednekar had a successful 2019 as she had a good line up of films including Bala, Pati Patni Aur Woh and Sonchiriya. Two of which were Box Office successes. Now the actress says she is glad that she is working in times where similar opportunities have opened up for both male and female actors.

The actress hopes that it spills over into society.

“Gender parity is one topic that’s significant to me. I am glad to be working in times where similar opportunities have opened up for both male and female actors and I hope this spills over to the society as well,” Bhumi told IANS on the sidelines of launch of series “MTV Nishedh”.

“I am sure this show will help trigger more acceptance towards gender equality,” she added while talking about the show, with which she is associated as a cause ambassador.

With stories around social issues such as modern contraception, medical abortion, consent, tuberculosis and nutrition, “MTV Nishedh”, produced by Victor Tango, will air on MTV starting January 25. The show will also air on Colors Rishtey starting February 1.
