Mumbai, Feb 10 || Bollywood star Rani Mukerji says Hindi cinema has always celebrated strong women on screen and credits legendary performers like Nutan and Nargis for setting that foundation decades ago.
Rani engaged in an insightful talk with women officers of the Delhi Police.
Talking about the portrayal of strong women in Hindi cinema, Rani said: “I believe our industry has always had very strong characters. Nutan ji did films like Bandini, Nargis ji did Mother India. So strong female characters have always been portrayed in our industry.”
Rani, who has completed three decades in Hindi cinema, added that in her current phase, she is consciously trying to carry forward the work left behind by her seniors.
“In my own way, in this phase of my career, I am trying to carry forward the work that our seniors left behind, so that in every decade, the women who do films and the stories we bring to the screen continue to remain strong,” said the actress, whose latest release is “Mardaani 3”.
