Bollywood News: Well-known Bollywood actress Dia Mirza, who has been a part of the industry for 24 years, is currently seen in the film 'Nadaniyaan' released on OTT. During her long career, she has had many experiences, some of which were pleasant, and some were quite disturbing. In a recent interview, she made some shocking revelations about the status of women in the film industry.

Experience during the shooting of 'Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge'

Recalling the 2002 film 'Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge', Dia Mirza told that women did not get enough respect in the film industry during that period. She worked with Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen in this film, but according to her, male actors were given more priority on the set.

She told that many strict rules were made for female actors, while male actors were given more freedom. According to Dia, "We were not even allowed to speak our mind. We only had to do what we were told."

Shooting was planned according to male actors

Dia Mirza said that the entire film was planned according to the schedule of male actors. She said, "This happens even today, but now we are aware of the script and story, which makes things easier to handle. At that time, we were not told anything."

The script was also not available

Dia revealed that the script of the film was also not made available to her during the shooting. She said, "I was very excited to work with director Pankaj Parashar because he had made a great film like 'Chaalbaaz'. Salman Khan was also in the lead role in the film and the budget was also very big, but the surprising thing was that we were not even given the script."

Clothes were prepared at the last moment

Dia told that her clothes were stitched just before the shoot and were given to her at that time. Apart from this, the dialogues were also told a few minutes before the shoot. She said, "There were no readings, no workshops. My character was Rajasthani, but my dialogues were written in Bhojpuri."

Change in the status of women artists

Dia Mirza also admitted that the film industry has changed with time. Now women artists have started getting more freedom and respect. However, she also said that there is still a need for improvement, especially in the direction of changing the attitude towards women artists.

This revelation of Diya has once again fueled the debate on gender inequality in Bollywood. However, now many women artists are making their mark in the industry and raising their voice for their rights.
