Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 79673, member: 636"] Maanvi Gagroo says on-screen portrayals of women need more thoughtful handling. The Four More Shots Please actress, who plays Siddhi Patel, argues that storytelling has long reflected a narrow mindset. She points out how female characters who drink or smoke get labeled as corrupt or lost, only to be redeemed by suddenly adopting traditional behavior. Gagroo stresses that art and life influence each other, requiring these outdated ideas to change as the world does. She questions the constant scrutiny placed on women's personal choices compared to men's actions, noting that society rarely judges men for similar or worse behavior. Her issue centers on the unequal standard of judgment between genders, suggesting that fairness should come before debating the morality of judging anyone. The fourth and final season of her show, featuring Bani J and Kriti Kulhari, premiered recently to positive reactions. [/QUOTE]
