Actor Kirti Kulhari says while there's no derth of smart female characters in Bollywood, the industry needs to have wider representation of women on screen, showcasing different facets of them.
The actor says Bollywood shouldn't "play safe" when it comes to chronicling stories about women.
"I won't say there arent 'smart' roles for women but the variety is limited. I feel the real representation is not widely available in Bollywood. While there are good roles being written for women and people are taking those up, but there's still so much more to explore," Kirti told PTI.
"We should go in and get our hands dirty and lets not shy away from really showing and representing the sexual life (of women) or taboo subjects. We are still playing it safe," she added.
Kirti feels the digital platform is a great space to explore different women stories as it is uncensored and "there are people who are trying to get their hands dirty, be on the receiving side and say- I still want to do this."
"From being worried what others are saying about me to being someone who is going to have sex clips taken out of from the show just to look at (without context)- I don't care."
The actor said though the show follows the lives of four independent women, it doesn't come from the space of "feminism or women empowerment."
